‘Black Alien’ tattoo addict can’t get a job because people ‘judge’ extreme look

A man who has embarked on a body modification project to become a ‘Black Alien’ has opened up about the dark side of his extreme transformation, which has left him struggling for work. Anthony Loffredo is unmissable in a crowd, being covered head to toe in dark tattoos and sporting various implants and modifications, including a split tongue and inked eyeballs, Daily Star reports.

The Frenchman started creating his reptilian look at the age of 27, and in the space of seven years, he has managed to garner 1.2 million Instagram followers. Now, despite contemplating even more surgeries and body modifications, the tattoo addict warned others against following in his footsteps.

“This type of change, it’s not just a tattoo, it’s something bigger,” he stressed, while speaking on the Club 113 podcast. “With my family, I can’t find a job, there’s lots of negative stuff. It could be positive because you feel better, but you have to know there’s also a dark side.”
