A body modification addict dubbed the "Human Satan" has said he hopes to win the Guinness World Record for "person with the most head modifications ".
Tattoo artist Michel Praddo is notorious for his drastic implants and surgery.
They include the removal of his ears and the transformation of one of his hands into a 'claw' when he stitched his index and middle fingers together.
Now Praddo - from Praia Grande, Brazil - has told local media how he hopes to fulfil his dream of entering the Guinness World Records.
Praddo, who had the ring finger of his left hand removed in 2021, said: "What struck me the most in 2022 was the unification of my fingers."
He revealed that before stitching his digits together, he first taped them up to get used to his new 'claw'.
He continued: "I really wanted to mess with my hand. It was something that hadn't been done yet, so there were a lot of expectations. I really liked the result."
Praddo went on: "On the penultimate weekend of the year, I placed more than 10 silicone implants in my head, some of them under my eyes, to look like a skull."
He revealed he had been invited to take part in a TV programme in Italy this month to compete for the Guinness World Record for "person with the most head modifications".
Praddo - who has been seen in one disgusting clip eating his own sliced-off nipple - said: "Guinness is one of my dreams. This is the TV show, not the book, but it can open doors.
"Being there means the realisation of this project of mine. I didn't, like many, just imagine what it would be like. I really made it happen."
Praddo, 47, is married to Carol Praddo - better known as 'Mulher Demonia', or 'Demon Woman'.
They have been together for more than 10 years and began undergoing extreme body modifications about four years ago.
Praddo says he has undergone more than 60 modifications and more than 80 per cent of his body has been tattooed.
His ultimate goal, he says, is to win the Guinness World Record for 'most modified man in the world'.
