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.

A fellow A.L.F supporter and owner of killer modifications to boot! Can’t get more perfect than that. Love the contrast on the plugs.
Rock on brotha 😀

actually greg if you look closely known of this women appear to have nostrils past an inch……..i am totally aware of this tribe and have been for some time……they were what inspired me as well
sadly the practice is dying out were the younger generation is no longer practicing it….the influence of baptist missionaries in the area
not that it matters anyway……its not a contest

if you look at pauls nose with the current 1 1/4″ plugs ,youll see that the plugs are a little bigger than half the distance from his bridge to the tip of his nose. look at pictures of apatani women and i doubt youll see one where the plug is as big a percentage of nose size as that,and most of them seem to be about 1/3 of the height.just on proportion of nose height id say pauls plugs are larger than any apatani pictures i can find .i think its unlikely that apatanui exceed 1″ with their nosttrils.and when you add in that these are very small women ,well below the height of a western man(paul), their plugs look deceptively large to us .
but as paul says ,this snt a competition ,and im certainly not minimising the glory of the apatani ladies.

simply amazing and wonderful.

any one of these mods on their own would be amazing, but to have all of them together and how they compliment each other is mind blowing, it really looks great. On another note picking crusties and boogs out of your nose must be alot easier now

Pauly, Iâm a BIG fan of yours. All your mods are truly tribal.
As far as the biggest nostrils in the world⦠I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but as you have seen in other posts, the Apatani tribe in Arunchal Pradesh, Northern India, still possess the largest nostril plugs on the planet. Some of their plugs measure two to three inches in diameter as evidenced by this photo:

That said, the Apatani tradition of nose plugs is dying out and given time, Pauly, you will be king!
Pauly, have you considered a larger lip plug⦠or maybe two? You would look awesome with an upper and lower lip disk. You could start with Lobi sized plugs (a tribe in Africa, which wore 1 to 2 inch plugs in both lips) and then move up to Sara Kaba sized plates (my favorite tribe in Africa, whose lip plate measure up to 1 foot or more). All of these tribes can be found in the following Yahoo Groups:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/tribalnose/
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/omolp/ (Lip plates group)
Even more tribal body mod groups can be found at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/tribalgroups/ in the LINKS section under: âTRIBAL BODY MODIFICATION & ADORNMENTâ?
Itâs always nice to see where some of these traditions started.
Thanks Pauly for keeping them alive!

dude. it is so fucking wierd how pauly gets praised for his huge nostrils(which by the way are FUCKIN’ AWESONE) and freakboy got alot of shit for his temp. wolverine claws(also awesome). i think the mindless should be taken into a field and shot. but hey thats just me

I hate to think this is all I can think of but.. If pauly did do drugs, imagine all the ways he could sniff them. He could make a straw design that looks like the water slide in Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure.

What I would give to nibble on those ears… but yeah, the nostrils are pretty fuckin righteous. This is my favorit pic of him mainly because of the jewelry and I really like his hair.

Wow, and to think I spent a fortune for a nose job. Beauty comes in many forms!

I absolutely love the ears and the nostrils. The only problem I have with his scalpeled labret – or any scalpeled labret for that matter – is that it forces the mouth into a somewhat permanent “sad” look, and I would like to think that anyone who has the courage – and the willpower – to stretch their ears and nostrils to greater and greater sizes should have a look of satisfaction about themselves . . . a look of pride and confidence.
Other than that, I like everything else he’s done, and I hope he continues stretching his ears and nostrils. It’ll be interesting to see if there is a limit to just how large the human earlobe and nostril will stretch. I hope there isn’t.

maybe we will just have to redefine what a look of pride and confidence is like,because i think that thats exactly what paul has.
as he should
and speaking of labrets ,its immaterial whether its stretched from a piercing or scalpeled,the “sad mouth ” comes from the height of the plug.as lips get bigger in the next couple of years ,we will just have to stop associating the mouth shape with sadness

Armylad your the kid of person that is so insecure about themselfs that you have to judge other people to give you a false sense of supperiority, its people like you that are the racists, killers, and rapists of this wolrd (i dont only mean that in a litteral sense). People like you are destroying this world, i know for a fact that paully would have nothing bad to say about you and would act kindly towards you, even though you would only show ignorance in return. Please try directing your comments toward yourself next time.
Paully keep doing your thing, this world would be so much better if it were full of kind, caring, unselfconcious people like you. I have nothing but respect and admiration for you paully!

Hi,
Its fantastic. I have been wanting to do that thing you have done with your sack for years. What do you reckon is the best way to start? I was wondering about plugs in the cheeks as no one else seems to have done it.
Cheers
