Brazilian tattoo artist Michel Praddo, also known as Diabao or Human Satan, and his wife Carol Praddo, known as Mulher Demonia or Demon Woman, are quite special…in their own very unique way.
Prado, known on social media as DiabaoPraddo or Devil Praddo, changed his appearance by tattooing 80% of his body, reducing his nose size, slitting his tongue, and removing one of his ring fingers to mimic a claw-like hand. He also has sharpened fangs and implanted horns.
Once homeless and a drug addict, the 46-year-old tattoo artist said those tough years helped make him a better man who is constantly working towards self-knowledge.
“Turning into the devil wasn’t something I planned, it was not my idea,” said Prado. “The sinister attracted me.”

Even though he has faced prejudice and hate, Prado has learned not to care what others think about him. “What I desire differs from society’s established patterns,” he said. “I receive so much love, so much love that it (prejudice) has become so small.” REUTERS/Carla CarnielBrazilian tattoo artist Michel Praddo, also known as Diabao or Human Satan, and his wife Carol Praddo, known as Mulher Demonia or Demon Woman, take a picture with a fan at the beach shore in Praia Grande, Brazil August 18, 2021.
