Anthony Loffredo, known as “Black Alien,” is a French man who has drastically transformed his body with tattoos, piercings, implants, and surgeries to look like an alien.
Starting with bodybuilding, his fascination with body modification grew into a lifelong project.
He left his security job to focus on this transformation, which includes removing his ears and nose, splitting his tongue, tattooing his face and eyes black, and adding implants.
He’s completed about a third of his planned changes and aims to replace skin with metal and tattoo his eyeballs.
Despite legal limits in France, he travels abroad for procedures. His extreme look draws both admiration and fear, but his family supports him. Loffredo struggles to find steady work because of his appearance but embraces his identity fully and plans to travel Europe to capture reactions to his alien-like look.
