Fernando Franco de Oliveira, a body-modification enthusiast from São Paulo, Brazil, has shocked and horrified his followers with his latest act of self-mutilation.
Having already undergone modifications such as a forked tongue, tattooed eyes, and “vampire teeth,” de Oliveira took a soldering iron to the right side of his face, creating thick scars that stretch from his forehead to his chin.
While he shared a video showcasing his new body modification on Instagram, it has since been removed, possibly due to concerned users reporting the shocking footage.
Reactions to de Oliveira’s extreme alteration have been mixed, with some social media users referring to him as “the devil” and “Satan.”
However, de Oliveira remains proud of his transformations and asserts that he has always wanted to stand out from society.
Despite receiving criticism and judgment, he claims that the majority of people react positively to his appearance, with many expressing amazement and even asking for photos with him.
De Oliveira has invested over $30,000 in modifying his body since 2000, considering it an investment in promoting his tattoo parlor. While some perceive his modifications as unsettling, he dismisses their judgment, stating that only God has the right to judge him.
