He’s also had countless implants placed under his skin, which is tattooed almost entirely black.
In a previous Instagram post, he had hinted at splitting his penis in two, prompting one social media user to reply, “I knew you were stupid… but this much?”
Last year, Loffredo announced he underwent surgery in Mexico to cut off two fingers to make his hand look like a claw.

In July, Loffredo revealed he was preparing to also remove two fingers from his right hand so he can have matching “claws.”
The Frenchman likes to document his body modification journey on Instagram, where he shows off his tattoo and extreme looks
He wrote on Instagram: “Across the world to continue my project, the process is going well, another dream that just came true. Thank you for doing your top job, thank you Mexico from the bottom of my heart. 34 percent loading.’
Loffredo’s controversial body modification drew praise – and dismay – from his Instagram followers.

He’s also amputated some of his fingers and added gill-like details to his forearms to build up the alien look
Anthony said people reached out to him and thanked him for being candid about his body modification journey
Another wrote: “You will 100 percent regret this eventually.”
One user said: “This is disturbing and fascinating at the same time. I don’t think I could do it, but thumbs up for living your dream.”
The latest transformative procedure comes after Loffredo had his nose and upper lip removed. He later admitted that he now has trouble speaking.
He had his nose removed in Spain last year as the procedure is illegal in France.
Aside from piercings and tattoos, body modifications that cause injury are illegal in many European countries.
As such, Loffredo did not specify where, when or by whom his nose and upper lip were removed when discussing the procedures in a live question-and-answer session on Instagram.
Loffredo admitted he’s had trouble speaking since his upper lip was removed, but that doesn’t seem to have dampened his enthusiasm for body modifications.
He said he dreams of removing his skin entirely and replacing it with metal, and listed his arms, legs and fingers, and the back of his head as the next parts of his body he wants modified.
Speaking to French newspaper Midi Libre in 2017, Loffredo said he was “passionate about mutations and transformations of the human body” from an early age.
Working as a security guard in his 20s, he realized that he wasn’t living the way he wanted to.
“I stopped everything at 24 and went to Australia,” Loffredo, who now lives in Montpellier, France, according to his Instagram profile, told the newspaper.
“It has become normal, even subconsciously, to constantly think about my plans [for body modification] for the next few months,” reported The Mirror about Loffredo.
The striking-looking person said he loves “walking into the footsteps of a scary character.”
“I often settle down somewhere and play a part, especially at night in the dark streets,” he said.
“I explore the contrast between the role I play and myself.”
