Tattooed ‘Human Satan’ addicted to body modifications has three fingers removed from his hands to turn them into claws
A heavily tattooed man called ‘Human Satan’, who is addicted to body modification, has three fingers removed from his hands to make claws.
Michel ‘Diabao’ Praddo, 49, from the coast of Praia Grande near São Paulo in Brazil, had the pinky and ring fingers of his right hand and the ring finger of his left hand amputated.
The body modification addict shared the shocking photos of his recent right hand amputation on social media after his first finger was cut off two years ago.
Praddo told his fans that he had hesitated before going through with the procedure because he was afraid it could ruin his job as a tattoo artist.
He said: ‘It was very difficult at first, but it wasn’t long before I could tattoo almost normally again.

The body modification addict shared the shocking photos of his recent right hand amputation (pictured left before and right after the fingers were removed) on social media after his first finger was cut off two years ago.
Last year, Praddo underwent surgery to remove both ring fingers on his left hand (pictured left after the amputation) and implant a set of silver tusks in his mouth, which he says cost just 5,000 Brazilian reais, or about £790.
“Sometimes I have pain and a phantom sensation, which still confuses me when I work or do other things.”
But he added: ‘I really wanted to change myself and I was very satisfied.’
The 49-year-old Brazilian ink addict is one of the most changed people on earth.
He currently holds the Guinness World Record as the person with the most subdermal ‘horn implants’ on his head, with 33 implants drastically changing his appearance.
And he’s had countless surgeries and inks to make himself look less human.
He estimates that he has undergone more than 60 procedures and that about 85 percent of his body is covered in ink.
According to local media, Praddo now plans to turn his left hand into a claw as well.
He said the project, previously called ‘La Garra’ or ‘The Claw’, would now be known as ‘Las Garras’ or ‘The Claws’.

After receiving the Guinness World Record entry earlier this year, he said his ‘dream has come true’
Praddo added, “I have three loves: my work, my strength training and body modification. I took care of the first two, but left my transformation aside.”
He shared several videos with his thousands of followers on social media, with some even showing him dangling from the ceiling from rings attached to the skin of his back.
After receiving the Guinness World Record entry earlier this year, he said his ‘dream came true’.
The Brazilian, who defeated another hopeful who had 18 horn implants, traveled to Milan, Italy, in February to verify the record on the TV show ‘Lo Show Dei Record’.
Speaking to Brazilian media about the experience, he said: ‘It was something very special and surreal. A dream come true to enter Guinness and also go to Europe.
‘At several times I was emotional, with tears in my eyes, as I went through my life. An experience that I will cherish forever in my heart and memory.’
Before winning the world record, Praddo had told the Brazilian media: ‘This is the TV show, not the book, but it can open doors.
‘Being there means the realization of my project. I didn’t just imagine it, like many people. I really made it happen.’
The tattoo artist has been practicing his craft for 25 years, but has gone one step further by undergoing several procedures and completely transforming his aesthetic.

His ears, nose, nipples and the ring finger of his left hand have been removed, and more than 80 percent of his body has been inked, including his eyeballs.

Last year, Praddo underwent surgery to both remove the ring finger on his left hand and have a set of silver tusks implanted in his mouth, which he said cost just 5,000 Brazilian reais, or around £790.
He also claimed that he was the third person in the world to have the tip of his nose removed, in a procedure that is very dangerous and the long-term health risks of which are unknown.
He also has four horns on either side of his head and several implants under the skin of his forehead.
Praddo has had his ears, nose, nipples and the ring finger of his left hand removed, and more than 80 percent of his body has been inked, including his eyeballs. He even ate one of his amputated nipples.
But Praddo has no plans to stop and hopes to challenge for the title of the world’s most modified man.
He has been married for over 10 years to his partner, Carol Praddo, who is called ‘Mulher Demonia’ or ‘Demon Woman’ and is also extremely modified (both depicted before their transformations)

Praddo said: ‘My wife (pictured together) has specialized in the field of modifications and the idea is that I will become her masterpiece when it comes to tattooing!’

His wife specializes in body modifications and also helped him achieve his unique look.
“I have been a tattoo artist for 25 years, most of my tattoos I get from tattoo artists and professionals that I have paid,” Praddo said.
‘My focus is on blackwork and brutal tattoos, which are types of tattoos in which you color a large part of your body.
“But my wife has specialized in modifications and I intend to become her tattoo masterpiece!”
Praddo claims to have a high pain tolerance and doesn’t mind enduring more pain to achieve the body he desires.
He said: ‘Actually I have a good resistance to pain, I don’t think anything is that painful, it bothers me a lot more in the post procedures than at that time.
‘And the truth is that there are changes that would be virtually impossible without anesthesia, I would prefer not to feel any pain.
“But if I have to feel pain, to achieve what I want, I will definitely face it!”
