A human ‘devil’ has reportedly been issued a new passport featuring his Satanic name and image of himself with no nose.

Michel Faro do Prado is well-known for being a body modification enthusiast with silver tusks, missing fingers, horns and claws.

The 44-year-old tattoo artist has dubbed himself the “human Satan”, covering 80% of his body in ink.

Michel claims he recently obtained authorisation from the court to make his Satanic name official, with the right to a new photograph and document.

The writing states his new name as “Diabão Faro Do Prado”, with Diabão translating as ‘Devil’ in Portuguese.

In the image, the artist – from Praia Grande coast, a small coastal town in São Paulo, Brazil – can be seen looking at the camera with black eyes.

“I focus on blackwork and brutal tattoos, which are types of tattoos where you ink a large part of your body,” Diabão, told What's The Jam.

“But my wife has specialised in the area of modifications and the idea is for me to become her masterpiece when it comes to tattooing!

“I have a good resistance to pain, I don't think anything is so painful, I suffer a lot more in the post-procedures than at the time.

“And the truth is that there are changes that without anaesthesia would be almost impossible to do, I would love not to feel any pain.

“But if I have to feel pain, to achieve what I want, for sure I will face it!”

He also posted an image of his new passport to Instagram, (@diabaopraddo), where he has over 206,000 followers.

One fan said: “Devil God bless you!”

Muryell added: “The only certainty is that no one can steal your identity and impersonate you,” followed by a laughing emoji.

Rafael commented: “Congratulations friend.”

Elian wrote: “Devil son of the Evangelist.”

Someone else said: “No words.”

Agatha added: “Congratulations.”

Vivien commented: “I adore you, the most angelic Devil in the world.”
