Extreme body modification: "Human Satan" has no ears, now he's having his fingers amputated

Praia Grande (Brazil) - Extreme: Michel 'Diabão' Praddo has gone under the knife countless times because he wants to look like a devil. Now the 49-year-old has also had his fingers amputated. He wants to have them replaced with claws.

No body modification, no matter how extreme, is too extreme for him. Michel 'Diabão' Praddo (49) has long been a star in his native Brazil. More than 300,000 profiles follow the tattoo artist on Instagram alone.

Now the extreme influencer has once again shared disturbing images on social media. Diabão Praddo recently had the little finger on both hands amputated and parts of his ring finger removed.

He calls it "Project Claw" and plans to transform his mutilated hand into a claw. The remaining fingers on his left hand have already been surgically stitched up. The corresponding video has been viewed more than 4.5 million times since last week.

Diabão Praddo later turned to his followers again, holding his claw up to the camera. "Today came the phantom pain," he said. "There is no painkiller that works in a little finger that doesn't exist!" Nevertheless, he wants to continue with "Project Claw".

In addition to the world record for the "most subdermal horn implants" (33), Diabão Praddo has also had his body almost completely tattooed. The "human devil" has even had his teeth sharpened and wears artificial metal fangs in his mouth.

In 2022, the Brazilian caused an incredulous reaction when he had his auricles amputated. The coronavirus pandemic was over, he no longer had to wear a mask and therefore no longer needed ears, he told the world at the time.

He shared pictures of his cut-off ears on the internet at the time. Diabão Praddo had previously had his nose cut off.

The "human devil" can no longer remember how many body modifications he has had. He estimates the number of procedures to be "over 60" and that at least 85% of his skin is tattooed.
