A man dubbed the “human Satan” due to his extreme body transformations has removed his ears to mark the end of the Covid mask mandate.
Michel Faro do Prado, 44, from Praia Grande coast – a small coastal town in São Paulo, Brazil – has previously hit headlines thanks to his out-of-this-world appearance, after undergoing numerous body modifications to fit his devil-like image.
He has had dozens of tattoos and piercings, customised his teeth and even chopped off his own nose in his quest for extreme modification.
And now Michel, who has worked as a tattoo artist for 25 years, has taken his transformation even further by chopping off his ears to celebrate the end of mandatory mask-wearing.
Last month, states across the country began lifting mask restrictions in public places.
After almost two years of covering his mouth and non-existent nose, Michel celebrated the historic move by slicing his ears off.
He uploaded the snap to Instagram which has so far racked up more than 7,000 likes.
The caption read: “Thank you master@gattoo_moreno for your work, thanks for the gift… hope to see you soon brother.”
One social media user said: “It was cool, I enjoyed it! But how are you going to wear glasses? Or won’t you?”
Another person added: “Where is the earwax going to come out now?”
“Top of the world,” commented one user.
Someone else joked: “The cotton swab company lost a customer.”
Another person simply wrote: “Ouch.”
He also shared a picture of his removed ears alongside a face mask, captioned: “If I don’t have to use one anymore can I dispense with the other one?”
Back in 2020, Michel claimed to have a high pain tolerance and isn’t put-off by the thought of enduring even more pain to achieve his dream devil body.
He previously told Jam Press: “Actually I have a good resistance to pain, I don’t think anything is so painful, I suffer a lot more in the post-procedures than at the time,
“And the truth is that there are changes that without anaesthesia would be almost impossible to be done, I would love not to feel any pain.
“But if I have to feel pain, to achieve what I want, for sure I will face it!”
