“Satan Man” amputated three fingers on his hands for the sake of art (12 photos)

49-year-old Brazilian Michel "Diabao" Praddo, an ardent fan of body modification, continues his crazy experiments. Last year, the ring finger on his left hand was amputated, and recently his turn came to his right one (minus the little finger and two phalanges of the ring finger). After all, Satan is a creature with four-fingered clawed paws! We must comply.





Michel Praddo shared shocking photos on social networks. He told his fans that he hesitated for a long time before deciding to undergo this procedure - he was afraid that the lack of fingers would prevent him from working as a tattoo artist, as before.

“It was very difficult at first, but it didn’t take long before I was back to working as a tattoo artist almost as normal,” he said.

This is his right hand before and after his fingers were removed.



Last year, Praddo had surgery to remove the ring finger on his left hand and have silver fangs implanted in his mouth.



“Sometimes I have pain and phantom sensations that still haunt me when working or doing other things. But I really wanted to change myself and I was very pleased.”



Praddo is one of the most body modified people on the planet. He currently holds the Guinness World Record for the person with the most subcutaneous “horny” implants on his head - 33 of them and they have radically changed his appearance.

He has also undergone countless surgeries and tattoo ink implants to make himself less human. He estimates that he has undergone more than 60 procedures and about 85% of his body is covered in ink.

Now Praddo plans to transform his left hand into a four-fingered claw. The project, which was previously called "La Garra," or "The Claw," will now be known as "Las Garras," or "The Claws," he said.

After receiving a Guinness World Record earlier this year, he said his dream had come true



The Brazilian, who beat another contender with 18 horn implants, went to Milan (Italy) in February to confirm the record on the television program "Lo Show Dei Record".



In an interview with Brazilian media, he said: “It was something very unusual and surreal. My dream of getting into the Guinness Book of Books and also visiting Europe has come true.”

Michel Praddo has had his ears, nose, nipples and ring finger removed from his left hand (and now two fingers on his right hand), and more than 80 percent of his body is covered in ink, including his eyeballs



For many years he did everything to change himself beyond recognition. And he succeeded



But Praddo is not going to stop there and hopes to compete for the title of the most modified man in the world.

Michelle Praddo claims to have a high pain threshold and doesn't mind enduring pain to achieve the body she wants.

“I actually have a good tolerance for pain, I can tolerate even severe pain, and I suffer much more after the procedure than during it,” he says. “I would gladly give up pain, but if I have to experience it for the sake of my goal, then, of course, I can handle everything.”

Art requires sacrifice.
