Michel “Diabão” Praddo has undergone one of the most extreme body transformations in the world, pushing the boundaries of body modification to a level rarely seen. His transformations include horn implants, tattooed eyeballs, amputated fingers, and nearly complete tattoos covering his body. Known as “The Human Satan,” Michel’s commitment to this dark, demonic aesthetic has made him a global sensation, garnering both admiration for his dedication and concern over the irreversible nature of his changes. Despite the mixed reactions, Michel views his modifications as a personal journey of self-expression and continues to embrace the pain and challenges involved in achieving his vision.
Michel’s transformation, which includes over 60 body modifications, is not just a pursuit of appearance but an act of liberation for him, challenging societal norms and offering a unique vision of beauty. With his wife, Carol, who shares his passion for body modification, Michel has fully immersed himself in this lifestyle, which began in the 1990s as part of the hippie movement. While many people find his appearance difficult to comprehend, Michel insists that his transformation is a deeply personal journey. His story continues to spark debate on the limits of self-expression and the consequences of extreme body modification.
