The Black Alien meme centers on Anthony Loffredo, a French man who has undergone radical surgical and cosmetic procedures to achieve his 'Black Alien Project' vision. His transformation—which includes splitting his tongue, removing his nose and ears, and getting full-body blackwork tattoos—has captivated and shocked the internet. Memes featuring Loffredo typically focus on the dramatic contrast between his original appearance and his current state, or use his striking, non-human aesthetic to represent 'final boss' energy or the consequences of extreme life decisions. While his journey is a personal art project, his image has become a staple for dark humor and social commentary on the limits of self-expression in the digital age.
