Brazilian Man Removes Fingers in Latest Step to Look “Less Human”. Brazilian tattoo artist Diabao Praddo, formerly Michel, has taken his extreme body modifications further by removing two more fingers from his left hand to create a claw-like, alien-inspired look.
Known as the “Human Satan,” the 50-year-old from Praia Grande previously amputated fingers on his right hand and has undergone over 100 procedures, including tongue splitting, ear and nose removal, and even eating one of his own nipples. He’s tattooed 85% of his body and holds the Guinness World Record for most subdermal horn implants on a human head—33 in total.
Though he feared the surgeries would affect his tattooing career, Praddo says he quickly adapted. He still experiences phantom pain but remains committed to his transformation, calling pain a price he’s willing to pay.
His wife of over a decade, Carol Praddo—also known as “Demon Woman”—has helped oversee many of his modifications. Together, they aim for him to become the world’s most modified person.
