Michel “Diabão” Praddo has undergone one of the most extreme body transformations in history, leaving many in awe and disbelief. Born in Santos, Brazil, Michel embraced body modification as a core part of his identity, pushing the boundaries with horn implants, tattooed eyeballs, amputated fingers, and more. Known as “The Human Satan,” he has transformed nearly 85% of his body with tattoos and undergone numerous painful procedures, including the removal of his nose, ears, and nipples. His commitment to this radical aesthetic has made him a social media sensation, sparking debates about the limits of self-expression and the irreversible nature of such modifications. Despite mixed reactions, Michel remains resolute in his pursuit of personal transformation, viewing the pain involved as a necessary part of the journey.
Michel’s dedication to his transformation has earned him recognition in the Guinness World Records for having the most “horns” implanted on his head. His wife, Carol, who shares his love for body modification, has supported his journey, despite initial hesitation. Their deep bond over their shared passion for transformation is evident as they run a tattoo studio together. Michel’s journey from the hippie movement in the 1990s to a full-time tattoo artist reflects his evolution into extreme body modifications, which he sees as a form of liberation and self-expression. While reactions to his appearance are divided, Michel’s transformation challenges societal norms and the concept of beauty, leaving the world watching to see how far he will take his modifications.
