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.
Speaking in a Channel 4 documentary, Loffredo had previously shown off that he used to be a ‘very sexy guy’.
“But I’m the same person! Same heart!” he continued. “But it’s not my body, my real body.”
He also shared an Instagram throwback, writing: “13 years/35 years.
“A slave to the body of the free spirit. Free is the race of poets. To choose is to be free.
“Everyone is free, everyone has their convictions. The story continues.”
But now, Loffredo has opened up about his difficulties finding employment due to his … unusual appearance.
Speaking on an episode of the Club 113 podcast, Loffredo says: “It’s a fight every day, because every day you find new people who don’t understand, who want to judge.
“It’s life, not everyone understands everything. Like me, I don’t understand lots of things about lots of people.
“You can’t judge someone, no one knows what’s inside someone’s head, why they’re doing that, you need to talk with this person.
“I can’t find a job, there’s lots of negative stuff. It could be positive because you feel better, but you have to know there’s also a dark side.”
Loffredo concludes: “I’m a normal guy, I work, I have a family… I like being looked at like a normal guy with a job, with a family, who has a friend, girlfriend, all of that. That’s what makes me normal.”
