Biggest Nostril Piercings in the World?

I’m going to make the claim that Pauly Unstoppable has not only the largest nostril piercings of anyone living in Indiana, but I’d say in Western culture as a whole, and I’m also going to claim that he has the largest nostril piercings of any living person.

What do you think? Know anyone bigger? Pauly’s are currently 1 1/8″ each, done in ebony with nice inlays, made to match the large plugs he wears in his ears.

I recently (BMEfest) got to see them in person and they look amazing. His nose is an entirely new shape, and it’s quite stunning… and whether you like the look or not I hope you agree that he deserves a lot of credit for the courage to go ahead and choose an aesthetic that’s radically outside the mainstream.

    Very different. How’s he going to feel when he is 50? Just curious. I don’t relly care one way or the other about this. If he is looking for attention in public , he will get it.

    That is freakin’ AWESOME.

    I just had my nose stretched, and I’m talking TIINY stretch here and it was excruciating. The fact that you’ve managed to go so far with yours is VERY impressive.

    Truly amazing mod job. You’re an inspiration man.

    🙂 Thank you Pauly for inspiring my boyfriend in some respects, his nose is currently 7/16 and he is stretching bigger after they settle down.

    P.S. We love your entire chin, tattoo, lip plate, everything 🙂

    His nostrils are lame.

    It’s a classic case of being extreme just to be extreme. No tribal roots or even celebration in that…just standing out to stand out.

    That’s my opinion….
