‘Human Satan’ body modification addict scoops world record for highest number of HORN IMPLANTS
A Brazilian body-modification addict known as the “Human Satan” has won the world record for the highest number of horn implants in the head.
Michel “Diabao” Praddo, 47, of the coast of Praia Grande near São Paulo in Brazil, has 33 horn implants in his head as part of his years-long effort to completely transform his appearance.
Michel said his “dream came true” after winning a Guinness world record for the most subdermal “horn” implants on the head.
The Brazilian, who beat another hopeful with 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 various times I was emotional with tears in my eyes about my life. An experience that I will cherish forever in my heart and memory.’
Before winning the world record, Michel had told Brazilian media: ‘This is the TV show, not the book, but it can open doors.
‘Being there means the realization of my project. I wasn’t just imagining it like a lot of people. I really made it happen.’
Michel is known as the “human satan” thanks to his extensive body modifications and devilish appearance.
The tattoo artist has been practicing his craft for 25 years, but has gone a step further to undergo several procedures and completely transform his aesthetic.
Last year, Michel underwent surgery to remove a middle finger and implant a set of silver tusks into his mouth, which he said cost just 5,000 Brazilian reais, or about £790.
Michel also claimed to be the third person in the world to have the tip of his nose removed, in a procedure that is highly dangerous and whose long-term health risks are unknown.
He also has four horns on either side of his head and several implants under the skin of his forehead.
Michel 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 Michel has no plans to stop and hopes to compete for the title of the world’s most modified man.
He is married to his partner of over 10 years, Carol Praddo, who is called ‘Mulher Demonia’ or ‘Demon Woman’ and is also extremely modified.
His wife specializes in body modification and also helped him achieve his unique look.

“I’ve been a tattoo artist for 25 years, most of my tattoos I get from tattoo artists and professionals that I have paid,” said Michel.
“I focus on blackwork and cheeky tattoos, which are types of tattoos where you ink a large part of your body.
“But my wife has specialized in modifications and the idea is that I will become her tattoo masterpiece!”
Michel claims to have a high pain tolerance and doesn’t mind enduring more pain to get the body he desires.
He said, ‘Actually I have a good resistance to pain, I don’t think anything is that painful, I suffer a lot more in the post procedures than I did at the time.
“And the truth is that there are changes that would be almost impossible without anesthesia, I would like to feel no pain.
“But if I have to feel pain to achieve what I want, I will certainly face it!”
