'Human Satan' Has Finger Surgically Removed In Extreme Body Transformation

A 44-year-old Brazilian body modification enthusiast has gone to extreme lengths to transform himself into a "human Satan."

Michel Faro do Prado, also known as Diabao Praddo on social media, has been a tattoo artist for 25 years. He revealed recently that he had one of his ring fingers surgically removed in an effort to modify his limb.

Prado has made quite a name on social media for his obsession with modification and peculiar tattooed look. According to him, it is through modifications that he can finally achieve the body he has always wanted and he's willing to undergo the painful procedures to make it happen.

"Actually I have a good resistance to pain, I don't think anything is so painful, I suffer a lot more in the post-procedures than at the time," Prado said as per the New York Post. "And the truth is that there are changes that without anesthesia would be almost impossible to be done, I would love not to feel any pain."

Prado has so far added silver tusks to both sides of his mouth, six horns on his head and other implants on his face. He has had his tongue split and his earlobes removed to give his ear a pointy elf-like appearance.

Large expanses of Prado's body have been covered in solid black ink and he has undergone corneal tattooing to make his eyes almost entirely black.

Prado's biggest procedure involves having part of his nose shaved. He is just one of the three people in the world to have undergone such a risky operation, reported News.de.

With the help of his wife Carol, Prado has slowly transformed his body over the last two decades. Carol, who is a body modification enthusiast herself, has even created vast works of art on Prado's skin.

"My wife has specialized in the area of modifications and the idea is for me to become her masterpiece when it comes to tattooing," Prado explained.

"I suffer a lot more in the post-procedures than at the time. I would love not to feel any pain," Prado told the Daily Star. "But if I have to feel pain, to achieve what I want, for sure I will face it!"
