Meet Elaine Davidson. She is the world’s most pierced woman / most pierced female according the the Guinness Book of World records. Ouch! That was first reaction when I saw her photos online. How can she have so many piercings, and on her face at that! Ouch again. Just looking at her makes me squirm! You can tell I’m no fan of piercings. In fact, it scares me! And I cannot understand how people can stand the pain of having punctures all over their face and body.

According to a recent article, Elaine Davidson, the world’s most pierced woman, has just added a few more to he collection bringing her new total to 6,005. Born in Brazil, she first made the Guinness Book of World records as the most pierced female in 2000 with 462 piercings all over her body – 192 on her face alone. Then in 2001 she was re-examined and found to have more than 700 punctures all over her body. This jumped to almost 4,000 in 2005 with the greatest number concentrated on her genitalia!

What is surprising about all these is that she does not, repeat, does not like getting pierced. She does this to get the “most pierced” world record and adds more to keep it. “I don’t enjoy getting pierced, but to break the record you have to get to a high level. I wanted to break the record,” she was quoted as saying. (Photo source: Flickr / Janek Mann)

Having said that, who knows how many piercings she’ll end up with.

Elaine Davidson is the “Most Pierced Woman” according to the Guinness World Records.

When examined by a Guinness World Record official in May 2000, Davidson had 462 piercings, with 192 in her face alone. By August 2001 when she was re-examined she was found to have 720 piercings.

She has more piercings in her genitalia than in any other part of the body – 500 in all, externally and internally. The total weight of her jewelry is estimated to be about 3 kilograms. As of May 2008, Davidson’s piercings total 5,920. As of Feb. 2009 her piercings total 6,005.
