With a whopping 6,005 piercings, Elaine Davidson of Edinburgh, Scotland, is the most pierced woman in the world.

Now, you may be wondering, "How does she even have enough surface area?" The Brazilian-born Davidson tells the Telegraph that more than 1,500 piercings are "internal."

Ouch.

Davidson first graced the Guinness Book of World Records in 2000 with 462 piercings — 192 of which were on her face. In 2001, according to Guinness, she had 720 piercings. Nearly eight years later, Davidson has added more than nine times that amount! Despite her dedication, Davidson insisted she doesn’t like the process. "I don’t enjoy getting pierced, but to break the record you have to get to a high level." That’s one determined woman!

Oh, come on! Ladies of the Masthead what are you thinking putting this trash on wow?  She’s obviously in need of mental help, but I don’t appreciate this freak on this site.  As far as I’m concerned, it makes my stomach turn….

What happened to good taste!  Is this site going to capitulate to mediocrity and sensationalism?

Her make-up scares me more than the piercings. I have four so far, two in each ear. The original two when I was a baby, the other two when my baby her piercings. I still want a tongue ring, but I keep getting thwarted . . . I certainly couldn’t do all those piercings … I can’t even wear a watch or bracelet when I play the piano, the vibrations hurt my wrist. I don’t even WANT to think about the vibrations through all that metal! Oh EKA, if the stuff is silver or gold, I don’t think they set off the metal detectors, though I could be wrong.

Wonder what she will look like when she ages and all that metal sags with her skin.  She will need a wheelbarrow to move all that around.
