‘Most modified man on the earth’ who lower off fingers and cut up tongue finds love
Marcelo “B-Boy” De Souza Ribeiro, who has spent around £30,000 on his transformation to resemble an “alien devil”, has debuted his new girlfriend who he claims is “the one”
A bloke who’s been dubbed the “most modified man in the world” has found his love match. Marcelo “B-Boy” De Souza Ribeiro, famed for his wild tattoos and extreme body mods like metal fangs, skin implants, and a split tongue, once made waves for dropping a cool £30,000 to look like an “alien devil”.
With 98% of his body transformed – even removing his index finger and slicing his hand in two – this 41 year old ink addict has now introduced his new lady, Deby, as “the one”. “Her name is Deby, she is 33 and we have been together for a year now,” the São Paulo-based tattoo artist spilled to Need To Know.
“We met around four years ago at a tattoo event.”
Deby’s no stranger to the ink life herself, sporting tatts on 60% of her body, a forked tongue, and forehead implants, not to mention her gigs doing body suspensions. Despite hitting it off, Marcelo and Deby, who rocks over 1,500 tattoos, kept it strictly platonic until last year when sparks flew into a full-blown romance.
“We’ve been together for some time now.”
Marcelo shared. “And it’s my first relationship with someone who also has modifications.”
The pair, he says, are a hit with onlookers.
“We get along very well and people always say they admire us whenever we are together.”
he added. “They say we make a perfect couple.”
And apparently, they’re quite the sight to behold out in public too!
He shared: “People on social media always adore us.
“And on the streets, in the metro, everywhere we are.
“People always come over with a smile on their face and talk to us.”
Marcelo has been vocal about the public’s reaction to his distinctive style in the past. He went on to say: “I’m happy with what I’ve done and my family won’t stop me because they know I work on my body and look.
“I always get attention wherever I go and people are always curious to know if the [modifications] are real.”
“They take photos and make videos of me.
“People are usually delighted and surprised to see so many tattoos.
“They are impressed with the [look] and I don’t regret it at all.
“I don’t even miss my index finger and all my modifications already seem so natural.
“It feels like I was born this way.”
