The 49-year-old Brazilian shared images of his new body modifications on social media, the outlet reported. He said he was hesitant to disfigure his hands because he feared it would impact his work as a tattoo artist.
“At first, it was very difficult, but it didn’t take long to get back to tattooing almost normally,” Praddo said, according to news.com.au. “Sometimes, I have pain and a phantom sensation, which still leaves me confused when working or doing other things.”
Praddo has received 33 horn implants on his head, earning him the Guinness World Record for having the most subdermal “horn” implants. He has received over 60 procedures across approximately 85% of his body in his dedication to altering his appearance, news.com.au reported.

“I really wanted to change myself, and I was very satisfied,” Praddo said.
Praddo plans to receive the same procedure to turn his left hand into a claw, which he calls “Las Garras,” the outlet reported. He aspires to become the world’s most modified man, having already removed his ears, nose, nipples and the ring finger of his left hand.
