Surely some daring Neatoramanaut can beat this record:
ARLINGTON, Texas, May 11 (UPI) -- A Texas body modification enthusiast said he broke a Guinness World Record by receiving 1,197 piercings in a single day.
Jeremy Stroud said Arlington body modification artist Tyson Turk spent about five hours May 2 inserting 800 needles into his back, 300 in his right arm, 50 in his leg and about 20 in his left arm, the Fort Worth (Texas) Star-Telegram reported Monday.

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.
