Anthony Loffredo, better known as ‘Black Alien’, has opened up about how difficult it is for him to find a job.

Loffredo claims his extreme tattoos and body modifications mean no one will hire him.

The ‘Black Alien’ became a viral sensation due to his body modification journey, in which he aims to become the extraterrestrial creature of his vision.

But it’s clear that looking this way isn’t easy, and now Loffredo has revealed that his professional career has taken a blow due to his appearance…

In the past, Loffredo has explained to his Instagram followers: “This project to which I gave everything, love, passion, determination, strength, has lost its meaning over the years.

“I did not expect it to have so much impact on the world, to be known I did not know how to manage it and my project has lost its meaning.

“One thing is for sure I no longer want to touch my body or take anything off or put anything on, I am putting an end to the modification of my body for the moment I no longer like this world.

“I’m going to finish my full black all over the body and finish for the moment like this. Goodbye body modification.”

Speaking to the French paper Midi Libre, as per the New York Post, Loffredo has previously explained why he began his body modification journey.

“From a very young age, I have been passionate about mutations and transformations of the human body,” he said.

“I had a click when I was a security guard. I realised that I was not living my life the way I wanted. I stopped everything at 24 and left for Australia.

“I love getting into the shoes of a scary character. I often settle down somewhere and play a role, especially at night in the dark streets… I explore the contrast between the role I play and myself.”

Loffredo has further shocked fans by revealing a series of throwback pictures showing what he looked like before.
