A 40-year-old father who chopped off his fingers so he could look like an alien has revealed that he now wants to remove his skin to achieve his dream appearance.
Marcelo ‘B-Boy’ De Souza Ribeiro, also known as the ‘most modified man in the world,’ claims 98 percent of his body has already been changed but he is not satisfied yet.
After having his hand split in half and index finger removed, he now plans to remove his skin and excess muscle to enhance his looks.
“I’ve made a new modification that doesn’t exist in the world yet,” Marcelo said. “I had researched body modifications in the world and from what I saw, no one has yet made a similar one.”
He explained that he was inspired from documentaries and movies about UFOs.
“The appearance I was looking for in my hands was that of an extraterrestrial.”
In addition to body modifications, he also has 1,500 tattoos.
In February, he had excess fat and oil removed from the sides of his hands to make it appear slimmer.
“I began to see the possibility of making an opening in it through the middle where you can have [a permanent] split,” he continued.
“After how I made [this hand], I found it interesting to do the other one in a different format. The procedure was studied two weeks before surgery and we removed the index finger [at the knuckle].”
Marcelo said he wanted to finish his hands in a perfect way so that they look natural.
“At first, people were surprised with how the hand looked,” he shared. “Today, they always ask me about the hands and to take pictures.”
The father added: “Amazingly, I don’t have any difficulties with handling any activity I do with my hands. I can type, pick up and play musical instruments – it’s all normal.”
