An extreme body modification addict posted an old photo of himself before his transformation.

Frenchman Anthony Loffredo, also known as the "Black Alien Project", is obsessed with tattoos and body mods.

He's only 57% complete in his journey where he's amputated his nose, ears and two fingers.

From inked eyeballs to a green forked tongue, the black alien boasts over 1.3million followers on Instagram.

Now in a recent upload to his millions, Anthony shared a throwback of a young faced teenager before his epic journey.

It shows him at just 13 years of age where he's sporting a brown hair style and huge grin.

The photo, which Anthony shared four days ago, also left fans in utter disbelief as to what he looked like.

He then teamed the image with a snap of him today.

Anthony's caption read: "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. Black Alien Project Evolution 57%."

The post garnered a lot of attention with thousands of likes and comments.

However, many people online didn't have the nicest of things to say about Anthony's transformation.

One said: "His poor mother."

Another added: "Body dysmorphia is one hell of a problem."

And a third commented: "It hurts to watch this transformation, I worry where your pain really is."

But fortunately there were a few fans who were inspired by his look.

A person posted: "Why do people feel the need to comment in such a negative way.

"Why follow this guy then put him down… Live and let live.

"Leave him the guck alone to be happy and you concentrate on your own lives."

The black alien is all about his extreme look but sometimes he's faced some serious issues when out and about.

Previously, he revealed how he was "barred from a restaurant spot" over his unique appearance.

Speaking to LadBible TV, he said: "If I want to eat at a restaurant, sometimes the server says I can't eat on the terrace."

But he has come to terms that some people are "close minded", as "that's how it will be for all of humanity".

Anthony says his modifications and tattoos came about because he felt he was born in a body that wasn't his.

And Anthony revealed last year how his looks have prevented him from getting a job.
