French tattoo artist and model Anthony Loffredo, known for his extreme transformation into the self-styled “black alien,” has stunned followers by posting a throwback photo from before his body modifications.
Over the years, Loffredo has removed parts of his nose, ears, top lip, and fingers — and even considered leg amputation. His dramatic look has brought both admiration and criticism, as well as everyday challenges like being refused service or struggling to find work.
Despite the obstacles, Loffredo says he’s still the same person at heart, with friends, family, and a “normal life.” He plans to continue his transformation, once dreaming of replacing his skin with metal. Reflecting on his past, he admits: “I was a very sexy guy… but it’s not my real body.”
