Fashion or Just DUMB? Meet The World’s Most Pierced Man – He’s got 453 piercings & an implanted pair of horns!

A heavily tattooed German man whose face is embellished with horn implants and more than 100 piercings said Sunday he was refused entry to Dubai without reason, forcing him to skip a planned appearance at a nightclub.

His look may have been a step too far for the Gulf’s most liberal city, where a carefully cultivated reputation for tolerance and cutting-edge cosmopolitanism occasionally clashes with the region’s conservative Islamic values.

Rolf Buchholz, 55, was travelling to the Middle Eastern commercial hub for the first time last week to appear at a circus-themed venue that woos partygoers with over-the-top attractions such as sword swallowers and burlesque dancers.

He told The Associated Press that immigration agents initially stamped his passport and let him through, but that he was stopped again before he was able to exit customs. He soon found himself in a room with other deportees.

Rolf Buchholz’s Profile

Rolf Buchholz, from Dortmund, Germany has a total of 453 studs and rings all over his body, and has been acknowledged by Guinness as the most pierced man in the world.

The 55-year-old computer expert discovered the world of piercing 11 years ago, and loved it so much that he has since then had 453 piercings in various parts of his body. Looking at him, you’d probably think most of them are on his head and face, but you’d be wrong. Rolf has 94 piercings in and around his lips, 25 in his eyebrows, 8 in his nose, and a whopping 278 in his genital area. I don’t need to see it to believe it, but I wonder how he managed to fit that many in such a small area.

Apart from his passion for piercings, Bucholz also has a thing for tattoos, and sports a full body suit that covers his entire torso and limbs. Although he has more piercings than any other man in the world, Rolf Bucholz has a long way to go if he wants to become the most pierced person in the world, seeing as Elaine Davidson, the most pierced woman in the world, sport almost 7,000 piercings all over her body. Rolf, along with several other record holders has been featured in the latest edition of the Guinness Book of Records.
