France - A heavily tattooed man who refers to himself as a "black alien" feels at peace most of the time, except when he's at one specific location.

Tattoo and body mod fanatic Anthony Loffredo has removed his ears, nostrils, and a few fingers, sharpened several teeth and dyed them purple, and completely covered his body in tattoos. Not only that, he has numerous implants throughout his body – even his face and head.

Though the Frenchman has no issues with his extreme appearance, it's clear that others do. Out of all the places on this green earth where Loffredo feels comfortable in his skin, a dining establishment is not one of them.

"If I want to eat at a restaurant, sometimes the server says I can’t eat on the terrace" where those walking by would see him outside the establishment, Loffredo told LAD Bible.

Though people may not fully understand why Loffredo decided to transform his body in an alien-inspired way, it's not necessarily something others need to get.

Speaking of the alien project Loffredo started at the age of 27, the 33-year-told told LAD Bible that it's something that "helps me to understand life."

If that's not valid reason to transform your body any given way, we're not sure what is!
