In this day and age, finding a job is really hard as many companies have several qualifications in order for a person to get hired. One of the things they require is a presentable employee look, especially when the job requires them to face clients or other people.
However, there is one man who struggled to find a job because of his extremely tattooed skin and body modifications, as his goal was to become a black alien-like creature.
According to NDTV, a French man named Anthony Loffredo, popularly known as “The Black Alien”, underwent countless procedures from head to toe in order to achieve his goal.
In a documentary by Channel 4, released in 2023, the host revealed that Loffredo had his nose, ears, and two fingers amputated. He also had implants in his body to have an extraterrestrial-like texture.
In addition, his tongue was also split into two and was colored with ink. His transformation didn’t stop there, as his entire body was almost completely covered with tattoos, including his eyeballs.
In the documentary, Loffredo showed the host his old photos, who complimented him as good-looking before changing his appearance. Despite this, however, Loffredo was quite adamant that he felt better with his body modifications than before.
Loffredo revealed that although he looked “strong” and handsome in the past, he didn’t feel like he was in the right body, and he was not happy deep down.
At the time of the interview, although he looked completely different from his past self, he told the host that he was only at 46 percent of his transformation journey.

On July 17, 2023, he shared a side-by-side photo of his younger self together with an updated photo of his body modifications on his official Instagram account. He told his followers that he was already at 57% of his goal look.
“Everyone is free, everyone has their convictions. The story continues,” he wrote in the caption.
Some users expressed their thoughts on his transformation, and many of them pointed out that his mother must be disappointed in him.
However, he said in the documentary that he kept in touch with his mom and would text her every single day. Regarding his parents’ reaction to his transformation, Loffredo recalled one Christmas day early on when they looked at him “in a weird way” for 15 minutes, but they later accepted him, especially his mom.
Despite him being happy with his look, his overall appearance has hindered him from getting a job.
Loffredo spoke with the Club 113 podcast in 2022, and he told the hosts, “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.”
Elsewhere in the conversation, he noted that the public’s perception of him also changed when he started transforming as he suffered from discrimination.
“Yes… Bad looks, insults in restaurants, people on the sidewalk,” he added.
Regarding his goal of achieving the entire black alien look, Loffredo projected that his transformation would be completed by 2029.
Unfortunately, there were also comments on his social media profiles that were so negative to the point that some commenters sent him death threats.
But despite the negativity, Loffredo told the hosts that he refused to argue with them online.
