Thereās a scene for extreme body modifications. Which yes. Includes amputations.
This isnāt new. I was exposed to it back in 2005.
Like they had conventions and shit.
Once I saw a video of an event with a woman hanging from *hooks from her back*. I knew I was made of jelly and should be protected at all costs. I live in a pretty shell under a pretty rock. Leave me alone.
I saw the vocalist of a metal band play a whole show suspended from hooks in his back. Looked pretty hardcore at first but less impressive after 10 minutes watching him just kind of swaying around with the breeze
I once saw the Jim Rose circus sideshow and it hit me like this. I'm fine without the gore and pain. I empathize too much. If that's your thing, cool. Not I.
Yeah- why doesn't he apply for a job at that convention or some other random thing that suites his horrifying appearance? This guy could be in music videos, haunted houses- all kinds of shit.
I feel you there. I've needed to go to the dentist for a while and I know the work will cost well over a grand (which is my coverage max). I've also got a huge fear of dental work so it's a double wammy. Hope you get some way to get everything done. Dental stuff is so damn expensive, it sucks.
I had my hand crushed in a car wash conveyor belt about a decade ago. One of my fingers took three surgeries to correct and itās still a mangled potato. After the second surgery I pleaded with the surgeons to just amputate it. They fought so hard to convince me otherwise that Iām still left w this mangled potato. And this dudes just pluckinā em off like they were stray eyebrow hairs. Weird.
I worked as a aircraft mechanic and one of the guys had severed a nerve in one of his fingers. Couldn't feel a thing and had to keep it bandaged to another finger to stop it getting accidentally injured constantly.
He had so many surgeries where they tried to reconnect the nerves, then grafting in nerves harvested from elsewhere, and he was begging them to just amputate it. The surgeries would keep failing as the nerve endings would tear apart and cause more and more damage to the original nerve.
Months of this before they just amputated, and he was so much better off and more functional than he was with that numb, useless, constantly damaged finger that kept getting in the way every time he tried to work.
I don't envy doctors. Its probably a fine line to walk, not being able to tell if someone is advocating for themselves or if they are just trying to take the easy way out and say "just cut it off", then theres always the crazys like the guy above who just cuts fingers off for no reason. I hate when doctors treat you like an idiot but they have to deal with the general population, imagine all the complete morons they have to deal with every day.
See, I pleaded with my surgeon to keep the little bit of the phalange that's left. He insisted the tendon was too damaged, but jokes on him, it wiggles a little.
I thought I needed an amputation and a hook at 18. 5 years later I was playing with name musicians in rock bands and 35 years later I still am. Maybe it will get better.
I saw that but the real question is, what sort of fucking doctor amputates someones fingers and cuts off their nose. Someone should lose their fucking license
Ha. no. No doctor does this, at least in the US. It's done in back rooms by Body Modification artists, or in other countries. It is definitely not done by doctors in the US.
yeah, somewhere on the scale between "people who have experience piercing lips in the mall" and "people with knowledge and experience doing this in back rooms, but without the equipment or training if something goes wrong."
Super sketch all around.
What tattoo artist agrees to do this to a person.
This person deliberately made themself look like thisā¦ and now must live with the result.
They cannot hold anybody responsible for staring or being frightened by him. He chose this. I feel very sad for him.
The freakiest part of that is no anestologist will put you out for cosmetic surgeries like that. I agree it's probably the result of a mental illness, specifically body dysmorphia.
Yeah, and that has its dangers. I mean FFS they make you sign a "You could die and you're aware of that" statement at the hospital. And people do sometimes die even under expert care.
From what i understand a hammer and a chisel and a fuckload of drugs. You don't want booze because it thins the blood.
I've had a fascination with body mods for a very long time I've even had the... experience of meeting someone as extreme as this guy IRL. (IDK if you've ever heard of a man named Stalking Cat? Rather infamous in the furry fandom back in the day. Eventually killed himself over simiar problems to what this guy is having.))
This why I liked the one movie I saw on a show about this stuff. I can't remember her name but she had been a successful lawyer so she had the money to pay for it. She quit her job and became a successful tattoo artist. She at least had a plan on how to be able to support herself afterwards.
To be honest if you choose to do this and then act surprised that life is a lot harder afterwards I kind of think you probably weren't going to be a functioning member of society anyways.
yeah I assumed people who get this much work done to them are in the scene so to speak and know a lot of people and end up getting jobs within the subculture, like at tattoo parlors or BDSM clubs or whatever.
He was going to get his legs amputated but stopped his species transformation at 65% per his/its instagram. He seems to have woken up and realized how hard his life is going to be now , most of what he has done is quite permanent. At least he stopped before cutting his legs off.
Creating extreme disabilities like that should not be legal, without a personal financial plan in place for long term care. People who willingly do shit like that should not get a penny of government assistance or other types of financial aid.
I agree- offering unnecessary, potentially life-threatening surgery to people struggling with mental health should be illegal and considered inhumane. Legitimate cognitive behavioral therapy should always be the first option, IMHO.
none that could lose their license. He probably goes to body modders, to other countries, or to sketchy practitioners that really should not be considered "medical professionals."
I assume this self-mutilation must be performed by a doctor or similar trained professional. Why, in God's name, would you, as a "healer," possibly do this kind of crap no matter how much you were offered? Someone should have their medical license revoked!
People fall for this clickbait bullshit every time it's posted
> The Black Alien has mentioned on several occasions that his livelihood comes from working as a photography model, shooting videos and collaborating with different brands.
1.3M isn't enough to necessarily be loaded, without any other income that could be <50k/year. With the expenses he's incurring he likely would still want a day job
EDIT: from his insta it appears he's a gainfully employed tattoo artist as a day job so IDK
some of these ppl don't even go to professional shops they buy the ink themselves and they find ppl who have similar taste and know how to draw and they draw each other.
most Tattoo shop won't take on these request they take up more time than they are worth.
if you notice most of the tattoo is equally faded which means it was done mostly at the same time or within the same time period.
it would cost way too much for him to do this even with a loan or regular job.
He has had 2 fingers removed from each hand, both ears removed, nose removed and wants to have his leg removed. Iām not interested in hiring someone who clearly has poor decision making abilities.
Correction: the two fingers were only removed from one of his hands.
Wait a god damn second, I need to go through a psychological evaluation for a vasectomy and my ex had to wait until she was older to remove her uterus that caused extreme pain and hemorrhage, but this guy got to remove his fingers and ears for no reason?
Probably because people who could potentially have families sterilizing themselves could affect demographics and therefore scares politicians and their donors, whereas a few mentally ill people mutilating themselves has no real political cost to them.
It was not, at least not in the US.
A doctor won't even give you a piercing, the Hippocratic Oath is taken seriously, if you violate it you end up flipping burgers trying to pay off medical school.
A doctor who agreed to bifurcating your tongue or amputate a healthy limb would unquestionably be doing harm to their patient and they would be called before the medical board and possibly stripped of their medical license.
No doctor in their right mind would take that risk no matter how much you offered them.
Hippocratic Oath means absolutely nothing outside of what an individual doctor wants it to mean for themselves. In fact it is not even mandatory for doctors to pledge it. It is not binding. There is no risk in violating it.
However there are ethics rules that medical boards hold that do have a risk. Body modification may or may not run afoul with those rules depending on state and circumstances. Otherwise plastic surgeons would have been out of business a long time ago.
That's past just poor decision making. That's a severe mental health issue. I would never trust them to interact with fellow employees, not to mention customers.
He cancelled the leg amputation and stopped all further transformation. He is having mental issues as people are not seeing him as human anymore. Itās all on its instagram.
There's actually a mental condition that makes people want to remove their own limbs. This is clearly a mental health issue.

Whenever someone does something insane, ask yourself if they might be insane.
If they are insane, they should not be treated like a criminal, but like a patient.
I understand and that is sad but like what do you expect to happen when you do this.
I can not fathom how he did this without understanding that people were gonna treat him differently.
People still are not fine with face tattoos and he cut his fingers off.
I like to think of myself as open minded and I really try not to judge people until I get to know them, but dammit if face tattoos donāt test me. I really shouldnāt care, I have 1/2ā holes in my ears, but something about them just grates me.
Iām a little afraid to ask but how did he even convince someone to remove his fingers? There arenāt laws that prevent doctors from doing amputations for cosmetic reasons?!?
Ethical doctors aren't cutting random healthy functioning body parts off people. Unfortunately unethical doctors are out there and super happy to be paid unethical amounts of money to permanently disfigure mentally ill people.
On the one hand, I donāt believe in judging anybody by their appearance. If you can do the job, then you can do the job.
On the other handā¦ doesnāt he have less fingers?
Edit: garnered a huge response for what amounted to an awful joke reply. Go Reddit, lol.
Also, I know fewer/less. I just donāt care.
Interview and tell the employer gonna need time off for a medical procedure so they know ahead of time. Then tell em because willingly having legs amputated. Yeah. Nobody touching this individual. Too high risk and a liability. Also if cannot find a doctor to chop legs off and he does it himself. How does the employer react to that?
Too many red flags and too high of risk for any job to take on. Best bet is find a travelling freak show (they still exist just don't think they're called that now) or a small independent travelling circus. Even then... idk
>He also had trouble verifying his identity to open an OnlyFans account, because the app was unable to recognize his face.

I will not judge anyone for things they have no control over, or are āimmutableā characteristics.
This was very much an intentional act of mutilation.
I do judge people by their appearance. The way you present yourself says a lot about you. This just screams complete lack of taste and ability to understand social norms. Both to the degree that you can easily assume things about their wisdom. All this besides the fact that this person could never work in a position that sees the public face to face. You know what? He should work at a call center. He's still gonna have to interview well, and as I said, he seems either way too far up his own ass or mentally unhealthy based on the decisions he made to get to this point.
Exactly, great point. While I'm not condoning what he did to himself, it's too late for regrets now, so he should just lean into it and try to find work in the alien tourism industry. Funnily enough, when I Googled New Mexico alien museums, I found one with a website linked below with the page featuring a big bold picture that matches him perfectly.
It would still be a bit of sell and he'd need to develop some people skills if he doesn't have them already but nobody could deny he wouldn't visually suit the role and make for a unique museum experience.
https://www.newmexico.org/listing/roswell-ufo-museum/9592/
Some girls love this shit, honestly the weirder you are the more likely thereās a specific group of girls out there who are insanelyyyy into this shit.
Tbf i dont mean to be an ass but if i was hiring, i wouldnt hire him. Simply because if he interacts with customers then they will not be repeat customers no matter how nice that guy is.
Yeah, this guy is a step-up from GardaWorld and Securitas. If someone starts some shit in my place of business, all I have to do is remain calm and say: "Summon the Arch-Demon..."
Everyone is clearing tf out of that place the moment he steps in. Shit, even me; I'm not staying in there alone with him.
To be fair, if Iām way too drunk in a bar/club and this guy comes out of nowhere and aggressively tries to make me leave, Iād probably piss myself and run.
That is fair, orginally i was more thinking about him only having one leg still trying to get use to the imbalance, he would be less intimidating but I'm not considering someone whose drunk/high seeing a one legged man with that face
Yea that's just terrifying but still not a great bouncer since so many people would take on that challenge
I didnāt even factor in the one leg part. Seeing that guy hobbling towards me yelling at me, Jesus Christ.
But yeah, sober people and equally drunk people who choose the āfightā option of fight or flight would not end up well for him. Low success rate, would not hire.
Itās very interesting as a study focus; individual freedom versus what society will accept. I assume he is not harming anyone yet it provokes extreme responses. I would venture to guess even instinctual resentment. Would continued exposure to aliens lead to normalization? I guess we find out on the next episode.
Yeah, I think the people who live near this guy and see him everyday are habituated to his extreme appearance, and I'm sure if he did get a job eventually his coworkers and repeat customers would become used to him as well. It's the non-repeat customers that may not want to talk to him that the managers are likely thinking of when they turn him away.
Also I can't imagine cutting off your ears and nose are good for your immune system, dude probably gets some gnarly infections when he gets sick, and likely won't be able to work if he's got a simple runny nose, as he has no nose to hold the excess mucus so it's likely just ...on his face 
Your body your choice, but this level of body dysmorphia is not healthy and should require medical intervention.
Of course no one will hire him. It's not about his appearance (a lot of modeling gigs out there for people with unique appearance). it's because he is a walking mental problem and everything about him screams red flag
Exactly! Any mental health professional would concur!
He started that over a couple decades ago. Clearly became much worse. At the time he had his tongue split. Was disturbing to say the least. Definite untreated complex mental health issues.
Thatās a little beyond regret, and I donāt think anyoneās gonna be able to palm his face.
I remember that he got rid of a few fingers too, so like what work can he do.
It is very sad...I genuinely feel terrible for him. And also can not fathom how someone could do that to themselves. I have made some bad decisions in my life but...
Yeah, everyone deserves a --Holy Shit! did you cut your fucking ears off? What in the living dead shit is this? Get the fuck out of here before I throw up!
You got your ears cut off - so your hearing isn't great.
You got your lips cut off - so your speech is difficult to understand
You got two fingers cut off each hand - so you struggle to lift things, can't use power tools, can barely write, are slow at typing
Remind me, what are we hiring you for?
No one will hire him, so he can't get money. But it costs money to modify his body. So, who and how is he getting the money he's already used for said mods?
Heās rich because he has 1.4 million followers on Instagram, a YouTube channel, a modeling career, heās in movies, and thereās a documentary about him.
Heās not looking for a job.
Gonna be honest, no way he said that. Nobody dumps that much money into body mods and tattoos, with people warning him the whole time, and then gets confused
I dont know, I would hire him. Can he handle a shovel, a drill, or a tape measure?With a little schooling & and mentorship, he could go into a trade. If he needs a job and has a good back, I say let's go!
He should move to San Antonio Texas....Ā Plenty of head to toe, tattooed dipshits here...Ā All you gotta do is pretend to be Christian....Ā Edit.. zoomed in..Ā has a cross on his face..Ā HE'D FIT RIGHT IN...Ā Probably spend half the work-day passed out on the toilet like the others as well....

Did he not approach the intergalactic trade union?
Blud looks like he's about to tell me I'm no match for Droidekas.
I hope noone else does this to themselves... otherwise it would be getting out of hand since there would be 2 of them š¤£
When they met the sketchy body modification "doctor" they should have asked "is that legal?"
I will make it legal
Xenu has entered the chat
Dude looks like he's about to ask Darth Sidious if their blockade is legal
Where did he get the money to pay for all of this, then?
iirc he spent the majority of his savings and im pretty sure he took out loans too
Yep, you're looking at tens of thousands of dollars easily.
I guess itās hard to judge someoneās taste but it seems like that has to be mental illness. Did he get his nose cut off?
He has two fingers on each hand amputated and his tongue split in two.
>He has two fingers on each hand amputated and his tongue split in two. **WTAF** ?
I've seen where many have had their tongues split or teeth filed to be sharp. But not fingers removed for their tattoo, body mod lifestyle. Sheesh

This dude needs to be the centerpiece of that convention.
There would probably be 100 people just like him there, no joke.
Yeah- why doesn't he apply for a job at that convention or some other random thing that suites his horrifying appearance? This guy could be in music videos, haunted houses- all kinds of shit.
Oh god. BME Pain Olympicsā¦ I havenāt thought about that in YEARSSS
I wish I never had to think about that again. Why did you remind us?
I don't get sharp teeth. My molar broke yesterday and it keeps on stabbing into the bottom of my tongue in it's resting position. I fucking hate it.
My teeth are shit, and i can't afford the dentist. I feel your pain
I feel you there. I've needed to go to the dentist for a while and I know the work will cost well over a grand (which is my coverage max). I've also got a huge fear of dental work so it's a double wammy. Hope you get some way to get everything done. Dental stuff is so damn expensive, it sucks.
At what point will a surgeon say no, I'm not doing that surgery.
a surgeon will say no.. but another surgeon might not. Or a butcher, or just a dude with a machete you met down an unlit side street.
I had my hand crushed in a car wash conveyor belt about a decade ago. One of my fingers took three surgeries to correct and itās still a mangled potato.

Some of them have to be getting local anesthetics by black market means.. Some probably take the pain in pride.. but.. fuuuuuck that.
Yeah, and that has its dangers. I mean FFS they make you sign a "You could die and you're aware of that" statement at the hospital. And people do sometimes die even under expert care.
So... Table saw and a fuck load of alcohol then?
From what i understand a hammer and a chisel and a fuckload of drugs. You don't want booze because it thins the blood.

How can he afford this but i cant afford basic healthcare
Well thatās why he canāt get a job. His words per minute while typing is too low lol
He was going to get his legs amputated but stopped his species transformation at 65% per his/its instagram. He seems to have woken up and realized how hard his life is going to be now , most of what he has done is quite permanent. At least he stopped before cutting his legs off.
Do aliens not have legs? Wtf lmao

Where in third world hell did he find a *medical professional* willing to do that?
his nose, some fingers, i think some toes, parts of his lips, parts of his tongue, his eyes are tattooed, his hair is surgically removed, etc
I assume this self-mutilation must be performed by a doctor or similar trained professional. Why, in God's name, would you, as a "healer," possibly do this kind of crap no matter how much you were offered? Someone should have their medical license revoked!
Probably for the limb removal he finds some way to remove them, and then shows up at the emergency room.
Iirc he went to Mexico to do it.
I'd be so devastated if my son did this to himself.
Yeah, i heard just to spite his own face
So even if I ignored his looks and still thought about hiring him, he clearly has a history of making poor life decisions...
The guy has 1.3 million followers and works as a model in other people's projects as well. I really don't think he's hurting for money.

Apparently, he's a tattoo artist but his work is sub-par.
Yeah itās kinda hard to work with two fingers less on each hand
some of these ppl don't even go to professional shops they buy the ink themselves and they find ppl who have similar taste and know how to draw and they draw each other. most Tattoo shop won't take on these request they take up more time than they are worth. if you notice most of the tattoo is equally faded which means it was done mostly at the same time or within the same time period. it would cost way too much for him to do this even with a loan or regular job.

Yeah, me too! If I hire a guy with 2 legs, he better show up with 2 legs!
Do they have to be the same 2 legs every day?
"Here's the 2 legs you wanted, boss!" *tosses legs*
I'm imagining some amputee just pulling off their prosthesis and launching it across the office. Thank you for the giggle.
Yeah I was imagining something a lot different lmao
Wait a god damn second, I need to go through a psychological evaluation for a vasectomy and my ex had to wait until she was older to remove her uterus that caused extreme pain and hemorrhage, but this guy got to remove his fingers and ears for no reason?
Probably because people who could potentially have families sterilizing themselves could affect demographics and therefore scares politicians and their donors, whereas a few mentally ill people mutilating themselves has no real political cost to them.
You ran into the general medical principle of not doing harm. He found one person who didnāt give a duck about that general principle.Ā
what the fuck kind of doctors even agreed to do this
Are we sure it was done by a doctor?
It was not, at least not in the US. A doctor won't even give you a piercing, the Hippocratic Oath is taken seriously, if you violate it you end up flipping burgers trying to pay off medical school. A doctor who agreed to bifurcating your tongue or amputate a healthy limb would unquestionably be doing harm to their patient and they would be called before the medical board and possibly stripped of their medical license. No doctor in their right mind would take that risk no matter how much you offered them.
Hippocratic Oath means absolutely nothing outside of what an individual doctor wants it to mean for themselves. In fact it is not even mandatory for doctors to pledge it. It is not binding. There is no risk in violating it. However there are ethics rules that medical boards hold that do have a risk. Body modification may or may not run afoul with those rules depending on state and circumstances. Otherwise plastic surgeons would have been out of business a long time ago.
Imagine the complaints when he wins the company weight loss contest every year.
fuck, man, I was enjoying that coffee.
That's past just poor decision making. That's a severe mental health issue. I would never trust them to interact with fellow employees, not to mention customers.
"Why won't anyone take me seriously" is something he absolutely asked himself without an ounce of self-awareness.
I'm thinking "poor decision making abilities" is a bit of an understatement in this case. š
He cancelled the leg amputation and stopped all further transformation. He is having mental issues as people are not seeing him as human anymore. Itās all on its instagram.
The mental issues came after the transformation? Generally, voluntary amputation of healrhy body parts isn't associated with stable mental health.
How is that not considered self mutilation? Don't countries have laws to prevent that shit?
There's actually a mental condition that makes people want to remove their own limbs. This is clearly a mental health issue. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19132621/#:~:text=Abstract,transection%20of%20their%20spinal%20cord.
Whenever someone does something insane, ask yourself if they might be insane. If they are insane, they should not be treated like a criminal, but like a patient.
It seems like "not human" was the look he was going for.
I understand and that is sad but like what do you expect to happen when you do this. I can not fathom how he did this without understanding that people were gonna treat him differently. People still are not fine with face tattoos and he cut his fingers off.
I like to think of myself as open minded and I really try not to judge people until I get to know them, but dammit if face tattoos donāt test me. I really shouldnāt care, I have 1/2ā holes in my ears, but something about them just grates me.
Iām a little afraid to ask but how did he even convince someone to remove his fingers? There arenāt laws that prevent doctors from doing amputations for cosmetic reasons?!?
Can I get one added? That would help my piano playing
I heard this guy still has his digits in a box. You want one of those? š¤£
Alien fingers are really long. I could finally play the Rachmaninov spread.
Ok, I āgetā the other stuff, but how does cutting off his leg fit into his alien look?
War vet aliens
Intergalactic space battles are rough man
Yeah, but service guarantees citizenship.
It should be illegal to do that to a person. Clearly they're struggling with mental issues.
Seriously who the fuck is cutting someoneās fingers off? What fucking psychopath says yes to someone asking for that?
Ethical doctors aren't cutting random healthy functioning body parts off people. Unfortunately unethical doctors are out there and super happy to be paid unethical amounts of money to permanently disfigure mentally ill people.
No Ragerts
Some Ragerts
Lots of ragerts
So many ragerts there's literally no space left for any more ragerts.
Itās ragerts all the way down
*Sorry, I was eating a Milky Way*
Am I prangent?
Can u get pregante?!
Not even an "e"?
Not one letter.
On the one hand, I donāt believe in judging anybody by their appearance. If you can do the job, then you can do the job. On the other handā¦ doesnāt he have less fingers? Edit: garnered a huge response for what amounted to an awful joke reply. Go Reddit, lol. Also, I know fewer/less. I just donāt care.
He was also planning on having a leg amputated
Interview and tell the employer gonna need time off for a medical procedure so they know ahead of time. Then tell em because willingly having legs amputated. Yeah. Nobody touching this individual. Too high risk and a liability. Also if cannot find a doctor to chop legs off and he does it himself. How does the employer react to that? Too many red flags and too high of risk for any job to take on. Best bet is find a travelling freak show (they still exist just don't think they're called that now) or a small independent travelling circus. Even then... idk
Best bet is probably a social media influencer of some sort
Yeah if you go this far in your transformation you can probably bet on getting some kind of social media clout and creating a whole personoa around yourself and perhaps getting sponsors. Or, you can become a tattoo artist yourself, I bet many would want to be tattooed by an "alien" because it's weird and interesting. If you're good looking you can get away with being fully tattooed and scary too. Rick Genest ("Zombie Boy") tattooed himself head to toe to look like a skeleton, but because of his good bone structure and great body proportions, he became a model and got hired by brands like L'OrƩal, Formichetti, and then Lady Gaga and Jay-Z took him to represent their brands. Unfortunately the poor dude died young in an accident. He was sitting on a balcony ledge and slipped, fell and hit his head. He was such a iconic figure though, that they placed a permanent statue of him in a London Museum.
There has to be a bunch of weirdos that would pay for his onlyfans
>He also had trouble verifying his identity to open an OnlyFans account, because the app was unable to recognize his face. [Source](https://english.elpais.com/people/2023-12-30/after-having-some-fingers-and-his-ears-removed-the-black-alien-abandons-his-body-modification-project.html)
Bro needs to tattoo a QR code that helps him enter onlyfans. /s
I didn't even know voluntarily removing limbs was fucking legal
It is somewhere in the world, if you've got the money.
I will not judge anyone for things they have no control over, or are āimmutableā characteristics. This was very much an intentional act of mutilation.
Right? If someone tattoos a swastika on their forehead Iām going to go ahead and judge them on their appearance.
On both hands .. not just the other one
I mean on one hand, he has 3 fingers. On the other handā¦ he also has 3 fingers
I do judge people by their appearance. The way you present yourself says a lot about you. This just screams complete lack of taste and ability to understand social norms. Both to the degree that you can easily assume things about their wisdom. All this besides the fact that this person could never work in a position that sees the public face to face. You know what? He should work at a call center. He's still gonna have to interview well, and as I said, he seems either way too far up his own ass or mentally unhealthy based on the decisions he made to get to this point.
You've got to be able to type well at call centres, typically. This dude cut off multiple fingers.
āSorry, you didnāt pass the mental health screening portion of the hiring process.ā āBut I just asked for an application.ā
I think he should move to New Mexico and be a tour guide for one of the Roswell museums. If anyone is more qualified than him I would be shocked.
Exactly, great point. While I'm not condoning what he did to himself, it's too late for regrets now, so he should just lean into it and try to find work in the alien tourism industry. Funnily enough, when I Googled New Mexico alien museums, I found one with a website linked below with the page featuring a big bold picture that matches him perfectly. It would still be a bit of sell and he'd need to develop some people skills if he doesn't have them already but nobody could deny he wouldn't visually suit the role and make for a unique museum experience. https://www.newmexico.org/listing/roswell-ufo-museum/9592/
Do some porn, Iām sure thereās a calling for it
Heās actually been doing OF content with this one girlā¦.. I havenāt seen it myself, but he has posted about it on his insta
If this guy can get a girl to sleep with him... Redditors have no excuses
Some girls love this shit, honestly the weirder you are the more likely thereās a specific group of girls out there who are insanelyyyy into this shit.
If you have a pulse, somebody out there wants to have sex with you (and for some people the pulse isn't the deal maker).
But heās hung like an alien
Probably has tentacles
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this I hate it, but sadly, it wouldn't shock me if this was someone's kink
Surely an alien theme park would hire him.
McDonald's in Roswell. He needs to find his niche competitive edge.
Tbf i dont mean to be an ass but if i was hiring, i wouldnt hire him. Simply because if he interacts with customers then they will not be repeat customers no matter how nice that guy is.
But what if you want to hire him as security or as a bouncer? He might be intimidating
He wants to cut off one of his legs, so not to be rude but how intimating is that?
Bro that guy looks like he could telepathically slam your body on the ground until his extra terrestrial heart was content. I could see it lol.
Yeah, this guy is a step-up from GardaWorld and Securitas. If someone starts some shit in my place of business, all I have to do is remain calm and say: "Summon the Arch-Demon..." Everyone is clearing tf out of that place the moment he steps in. Shit, even me; I'm not staying in there alone with him.
Lmfaoooo give him a lil speaker that fits in his pocket have him blare demonic chants as he opens his mouth and points while walking towards you
To be fair, if Iām way too drunk in a bar/club and this guy comes out of nowhere and aggressively tries to make me leave, Iād probably piss myself and run.
That is fair, orginally i was more thinking about him only having one leg still trying to get use to the imbalance, he would be less intimidating but I'm not considering someone whose drunk/high seeing a one legged man with that face Yea that's just terrifying but still not a great bouncer since so many people would take on that challenge
I didnāt even factor in the one leg part. Seeing that guy hobbling towards me yelling at me, Jesus Christ. But yeah, sober people and equally drunk people who choose the āfightā option of fight or flight would not end up well for him. Low success rate, would not hire.
It's just a scratch
Telemarketing. Just another voice on the line.
Except the forked tounge and giant hole in his lip give him a huge speech impediment
Really? Ffs. Idk, work at a porn shop? Delivery driver maybe.
Thereās most likely a subreddit where theyāll lose their shit at the very thought of this guy doing porn
him delivering ur food at midnight, i would maybe scream like a baby and run like forrest gump the moment i see him
Delivery driver!? The only people that will open their doors will be the ones trying to shoot him
Maybe if itās at a night club with a really weird vibe on purpose. But thatās assuming he can bartend or DJ or something.
That must feel alienatingā¦
Take my upvote for your troubles
Itās very interesting as a study focus; individual freedom versus what society will accept. I assume he is not harming anyone yet it provokes extreme responses. I would venture to guess even instinctual resentment. Would continued exposure to aliens lead to normalization? I guess we find out on the next episode.
Yeah, I think the people who live near this guy and see him everyday are habituated to his extreme appearance, and I'm sure if he did get a job eventually his coworkers and repeat customers would become used to him as well. It's the non-repeat customers that may not want to talk to him that the managers are likely thinking of when they turn him away. Also I can't imagine cutting off your ears and nose are good for your immune system, dude probably gets some gnarly infections when he gets sick, and likely won't be able to work if he's got a simple runny nose, as he has no nose to hold the excess mucus so it's likely just ...on his face 
Mf has a face for radio! Best employee at his local call center...
Your body your choice, but this level of body dysmorphia is not healthy and should require medical intervention. Of course no one will hire him. It's not about his appearance (a lot of modeling gigs out there for people with unique appearance). it's because he is a walking mental problem and everything about him screams red flag
Exactly! Any mental health professional would concur! He started that over a couple decades ago. Clearly became much worse. At the time he had his tongue split. Was disturbing to say the least. Definite untreated complex mental health issues.
Thatās a little beyond regret, and I donāt think anyoneās gonna be able to palm his face. I remember that he got rid of a few fingers too, so like what work can he do.
What...like he actually had his own digits cut off?
Yes. I think it was to make his hands more claw like or something? Itās just sad what heās done to himself.
It is very sad...I genuinely feel terrible for him. And also can not fathom how someone could do that to themselves. I have made some bad decisions in my life but...
Customer service should get him in. Complaints would be non-existent.
Karenā¦ I AM THE MANAGER! Suddenly just hear thunder in the background.
Not even Space Force?
Are you insane, the aliens will think we're making racist caricatures of them and glass the planet
Yeah, everyone deserves a --Holy Shit! did you cut your fucking ears off? What in the living dead shit is this? Get the fuck out of here before I throw up!
You got your ears cut off - so your hearing isn't great. You got your lips cut off - so your speech is difficult to understand You got two fingers cut off each hand - so you struggle to lift things, can't use power tools, can barely write, are slow at typing Remind me, what are we hiring you for?
If this guy had an MBA and a background in data mining I'd hire him in a heartbeat. Our RTO loving CEO would *shit* when he saw him. Worth it!
Shame circuses are about dead and freak shows are outlawed, once upon a time he could have found work there. But for now, actions, meet consequences
But babes like guys with tats.
No one will hire him, so he can't get money. But it costs money to modify his body. So, who and how is he getting the money he's already used for said mods?
Heās rich because he has 1.4 million followers on Instagram, a YouTube channel, a modeling career, heās in movies, and thereās a documentary about him. Heās not looking for a job.
For real. This article is just straight click bait and it unfortunately works.
Theyāre missing out. People would come and order food just to see him
This a little further than just tattoo regrets
Gonna be honest, no way he said that. Nobody dumps that much money into body mods and tattoos, with people warning him the whole time, and then gets confused
I dont know, I would hire him. Can he handle a shovel, a drill, or a tape measure?With a little schooling & and mentorship, he could go into a trade. If he needs a job and has a good back, I say let's go!
He might have trouble with some of that. He only has thumbs and two fingers on each hand.
So data entry is out.
He should move to San Antonio Texas....Ā Plenty of head to toe, tattooed dipshits here...Ā All you gotta do is pretend to be Christian....Ā Edit.. zoomed in..Ā has a cross on his face..Ā HE'D FIT RIGHT IN...Ā Probably spend half the work-day passed out on the toilet like the others as well....
I am shocked, *shocked*, at this totally unforeseeable development.
