I chopped off my finger — now I’m removing skin to look like an alien

He’s starting to look out of this world.

Marcelo “B-Boy” De Souza Ribeiro has a new procedure in mind to enhance his “alien devil” look.

The 40-year-old, who has been dubbed the “most modified man in the world,” has decided to remove the excess skin and muscle from his hands.

“The appearance I was looking for in my hands was that of an extraterrestrial,” Ribeiro told NeedToKnow.co.uk. “I drew inspiration from movies and documentaries I watched about UFOs.”

The São Paulo, Brazil-based tattoo artist claims the entire process took nearly four months to complete and cost about $830.

“I’ve made a new modification that doesn’t exist in the world yet,” said Ribeiro. “I had researched body modifications in the world, and from what I saw, no one has yet made a similar one.”

Ribeiro, who is also covered in nearly 1,500 tattoos, said that he began the process in February by removing excess oil and fat from the sides of his left hand in a bid to make it slimmer.

“Now, I’ve had muscle and skin removed with a surgical scalpel to make the hands as normal as possible to look the way I intended to have it,” he said. “I wanted to finish mine perfectly, so that it looks natural, as if I was born with the format.”

The father of three has also undergone several surgeries and has a split tongue, fanged teeth and other skin implants. He told Jam Press that he has spent roughly $36,945 on his transformation over the years.

Ribeiro also claimed that 98% of his body has been modified.

The tattoo artist first gained notoriety earlier this year when he decided to undergo a procedure that would split his fingers in a permanent “V” formation.

“I began to see the possibility of making an opening in it through the middle where you can have [a permanent] split,” recalled Ribeiro. “After how I made [this hand], I found it interesting to do the other one in a different format.

“The procedure was studied two weeks before surgery, and we removed the index finger [at the knuckle],” he continued.

Overall, the artist claims that the entire procedure went smoothly and only hurt a little. He said that people love his new look.

“At first, people were surprised with how the hand looked,” said Ribeiro. “Today, they always ask me about the hands and to take pictures.”

Ribeiro said that he doesn’t “have any difficulties with handling any activity I do with my hands.

“I can type, pick up and play musical instruments — it’s all normal,” he said. “I have no regrets about the procedures. I’m happy and satisfied.”
