I did not do this for 15 minutes of fame. I did this because my friend Tyson, the one who pierced me, asked me to. Its that simple. I worked at this for a long time, and broke the record. I had Doctors approval and medical staff on hand. I knew i ran a very high risk for infection, i had antibiotics on hand. I am still perfectly healthy after 2 weeks.Just thought I would stop by and say hello...OH AND, there is a reason that the person that got to 5000 didn't make the book. FOLLOW THE RULZ.....

Owch

I'm big into piercings, body mod's in general and tattoo's... but this is just insanely overboard.

His body is going to reject a massive amount, if not all of them. Plus he put his central nervous system, blood sugar levels and heart under serious pressure.

I wouldn't be surprised and I honestly would not feel sorry for him, if in the near future if he develops one, if not a few bodily system problems.

HeartlessMachine:- Would the total risk of infection be less if he had all howevermany piercings spread out over a longer time? I see no reason to think it would.

Heartless, if they were planning on healing all of those piercings you would be correct.

iirc the non-Guinness record is something like 5000 piercings done in one sitting in one day.

This is very unhealthy for the body. One or two piercings at a time, I can understand. But putting that many holes in one's body is just begging for some kind of infection. (I know they use all sterile stuff, but there's a lot of dirt out there, and this guy is asking a lot of his immune system.)
