Gorcy, France - Tattoo addict Anthony "Black Alien" Loffredo has shared a rare glimpse of what he looked like before he embarked on his radical, extraterrestrial journey.

Only a few months after declaring that he plans on becoming a real-life cyborg, Loffredo opened up about the 15-year journey he's been on – and even shared a snapshot of how he looked before all the tattoos and body modifications.

For more than a decade, the Black Alien has covered himself in blackout inkings and undergone extreme body mods that have irreversibly changed his look.

Among some of his more shocking changes are chopped-off fingers, amputated ears, and a shortened nose. He has even tattooed his eyeballs and covered his face in deep scars, which form intricate patterns.

"BLACK ALIEN PROJECT – 15 YEARS OF EVOLUTION," he captioned a recent post to Instagram, where he is followed by over one million people and goes by @the_black_alien_project.

The post featured two images, one of his recent self – highly tattooed and modified – and the other of how he looked 15 years ago, with no modifications but an earring.

"For the majority, going this far in transforming your body is suicide," Loffredo explained in comments translated from French. "For me, it is courage, vision, and a dream that I have chosen to pursue."

"15 years of transformation, sacrifice, and choices made. I've never sought to be like others, but to bring my own vision to life."

"My body becomes my canvas, my transformation becomes my identity," he explained. "Not everyone will understand my path, and that's not the purpose. I dared to live my dream."
