See Pictures of World's Most Pierced man 2012

52 year old Rolf Buchholz, from Germany is the man who hold's the world record for most pierced man this year. He has 453 studs and rings scattered across his body.You can see many of them right here on his face — including 94 around his lips, 25 in his eyebrows and 8 nose rings.

But more than half of his many piercings are around his genital area.
All told, he’s got 278 piercings in and around his genitals, helping to make him the 2012 Guinness World Record holder for most pierced man on the planet.

Now i thought this story was remarkably irritating until i found out that the woman who holds the same record this year has...wait for it...over 6000 piercings!!

Elaine Davidson is a Brazilian-born nurse, living in Scotland.

In 2000 she was acknowledged as the world’s most pierced woman, by the Guinness Book of Records, with 462 piercings, of which 192 on her face. But she kept adding to her collection, and in May 2008 she had 5,920 piercings. As of February 2009 Elaine is the proud wearer of 6,005 pieces of metal.

I find piercings of any kind really irritating (except they're your ear lobes or maybe belly buttons even though i dont think i could do that) what do you guys think of this record holders?
I hear guys find it sexy though...
