Homem brasileiro muda aparência radicalmente e causa espanto, “satanás humano”
O brasileiro Michel Faro do Prado, de 44 anos, virou notícia em vários tabloides britânicos nesta segunda-feira devido à intensa transformação que fez no corpo por meio de tatuagens e piercings, incluindo em formatos pontudos na testa e no nariz, que não passam despercebidos. Morador de São Paulo, o tatuador alterou também o formato de seus dentes, para ficarem com uma aparência de caninos.
“Se eu tiver que sentir dor, alcançar o que quero, com certeza vou enfrentar”, disse Michel ao “The Sun”, um dos jornais estrangeiros que publicou sobre sua história.
Conhecido como “Satanás humano” no bairro onde vive, ele ressaltou que não liga para os olhares das pessoas na rua. E ainda admitiu para si o apelido, se identificando como “diabão” nas redes sociais. Apesar disso, Michel afirmou que sua aparência diabólica não corresponde a suas crenças. O tatuador revelou ter fé em Deus e fazer parte de uma comunidade cristã.
“Minha família, que consiste em minha mulher, meu filho e algumas pessoas em minha vida também se tornaram minha família, me amam”, frisou. “Realmente não importa para mim o que as pessoas dizem, apenas exijo respeito”.
A mulher dele inclusive trabalha com modificações no corpo e ajudou o marido em sua transformação. Ele disse ainda que isso lhe ajudou a alcançar uma “liberdade interna” para quebrar os “paradigmas e conceitos” que impostos pela sociedade.
Michel Faro do Prado, 44, from Praia Grande coast, a small coastal town in São Paulo, Brazil has been dubbed the human “Satan” for his out of this world appearance, undergoing numerous body modifications to fit his devil-like image.
Michel, who has worked as a tattoo artist for 25 years, said he wants to look as sinister as possible, and has even gone to a dentist to shape his teeth into arches with plans to coat them entirely in metal.
Michel’s wife specialises in body modifications, and has also helped him along the way to achieve his unique look.
He said: “I have been a tattoo artist for 25 years, most of my tattoos I get from tattoo artists and professionals who I have paid.
“I focus on blackwork and brutal tattoos, which are types of tattoos where you ink a large part of your body.
“But my wife has specialised in the area of modifications and the idea is for me to become her masterpiece when it comes to tattooing!”
Despite going through all lengths to embody his extraordinary image, Michel said he isn’t trying to look like the devil, despite what people call him.
He believes the devil is a beautiful creature and in fact doesn’t resemble him at all.
Michel also explained how he worships God and tries to do greater good in the world, and said his image doesn’t match his character whatsoever.
Speaking about his look, Michel said: “The idea is to become more and more sinister, the question of the ‘Devil’ is that people have this image in mind!
“I believe that the true image of the ‘devil’ is beautiful, the Bible says this in Genesis and also the same way in the book of Isaiah, which says that says that Jesus was ugly that he looked like a dry root in the desert.
“He did not inhabit any beauty, so if it is a matter of fiction that the Devil looks likes me more, in my heart I prefer God and doing good!”
Michel claims to have a high pain tolerance and said he doesn’t mind enduring more pain to achieve the body he desires.
He said: “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!”
Michel often receives stares from people in public and is well-known in his town – but it isn’t for just his body modifications.
The 44-year-old is also active in his church community and often goes around preaching the word of God and conveying the message of the Bible.
He said: “People who have never seen me before are shocked most of the time.
“I am a very well-known person and not only for my appearance, but also for several videos I make passing a message and speaking from my point of view, addressing various topics like God and the Bible, society behaviours, ect.”
“I believe in who I am – my family and I are loved by the majority.”
Despite his unconventional appearance, Michel said his family and friends have always supported him from the beginning.
Michel has made it clear he does not tolerate people who disrespect him for his choices, saying how each person is different in the way they choose to live their life.
He said: “My family love it, which consists of my wife and my son and some people in my life have also become my family.
“I have several young friends who call me father, and others who have become brother and most of them are actually acquaintances or colleagues.
“However, it doesn’t really matter to me what people say! I only demand respect!
Michel added: “I do not reject conventional society; I reject its hypocrisy and disrespect for those who are different.
“Each person is what they choose to be – I am what I am and they are what they are.”
Michel said his appearance allows him to continuously break the mould and gives him the chance to express his true self.
He said: “My personality is not the same because we are here to evolve, but my personality, myself, has been transformed by the lessons of life.
“My exterior has changed because of what I am and I am becoming.
“My exterior only represents internal freedom I have to break paradigms and concepts imposed on us as a society.”
