Man Got 1,197 Piercings in One Day

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 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.
