A tattoo addict pursuing the goal of becoming a ‘Black Alien’ has spoken about the pain he has suffered from his various extreme body modifications.

Since the age of 27, Anthony Loffredo has been modifying his appearance with tattoos and body piercings and implants to look like a reptilian alien.

The 33-year-old has even amputated two of his fingers during his quest, and admitted that his radical appearance had left him struggling to find work.

But, speaking to the Rene ZZ YouTube channel in July, Anthony revealed that his most recent body modification – a set of eyebrow implants – had actually been his most painful.

“The first night was awful, [I was] puking all night,” he admitted, pointing at his temple.

“Right here it’s a lot of pressure, so you get very dizzy.”

“It hurts very very bad… Everything hurts in its own way.”

Among some of his more extreme modifications, Anthony has also had his tongue tattooed and split in two.

And he confessed that the implications of this painful surgery affect him to this day.

“Sometimes with the different inks that I’ve got in my tongue, sometimes it hurts, it gets swollen in the mornings,” he explained.

“It’s been two years since I got it done but it still hurts.”

Despite this, the tattoo addict admitted that he would continue to update the ink on his tongue, and has even drawn criticism for his publicly stated desire to amputate one of his legs in order to achieve a robotic look.

Part of the appeal, Anthony explained, in getting these radical updates is to discover how his body reacts to the new changes.

“I like to experiment. I like to see how my brain accommodates this,” he added.

“It’s very interesting for me to see the adaptation.”

This comes after the so-called Black Alien revealed in another podcast appearance that people often shout at him and run away in the street when they pass him in public.
