A man dubbed 'human Satan' who is addicted to body modifications has revealed his latest project and it's raised some eyebrows.

Michel 'Diabao' Praddo revealed that he has had his little finger and ring finger on his right hand as well as the ring finger on his left hand amputated, in a bid to turn his hands into 'claws'.

Taking to social media to share the shocking work, the 49-year-old body modification addict told his fans that he was worried about getting it done as he thought it might affect his work as a tattoo artist - but now he's got used to his new hands.

"At first it was very difficult, but it didn't take long to get back to tattooing almost normally. Sometimes I have pain and a phantom sensation, which still leaves me confused when working or doing other things," he explained according to The Mail.

Now getting used to his new look, Michel, from the Praia Grande coast near São Paulo in Brazil, is now "satisfied" and added: "I really wanted to change myself and I was very satisfied." However, this isn't the most extreme modification he has undergone. Michel currently holds the Guinness World Record as the person with the most subdermal 'horn' implants on his head.

Showing off the 33 implants in his head that drastically changed his appearance, he estimates he's had around 60 different procedures to give him his desired aesthetic. As well as covering 85 per cent of his body in countless tattoos, Michel aims to look 'less human' and after his drastic removal of fingers on his right hand, local media outlets report that he has plans to turn his left hand into a claw as well.

Last year, the body mod lover underwent surgery surgery to remove both his ring finger on his left hand, but now he's removed two fingers from his right hand too. Michel called his extreme work "La Garra" or "The Claw", but he reveals it will now be called "Las Garras" or "The Claws" instead as he's modified both hands. "I have three loves: my work, my weight training and body modification. I was taking care of the first two, but leaving my transformation aside," he added after getting his latest transformation, as he shared the recent snaps online. After he won the Guinness World Record for his horns, he admitted it was his "dream come true".
