Elaine Davidson, the Guinness World Record holder for the “most pierced person” stopped by Southside Body Piercing Studio in Glasgow, Scotland for some work, and Paula sent in a snap. Yes, before you ask, I agree, I’d love to do an interview with her!
Elaine Davidson, still getting pierced!

her makeup is insane.
amazing.
i want to meet her someday! i guess when you come to think past what people think of you and focus mainly on how happy you are on yourself, you would always present a lovely demeanor. i mean, how could you not? youd be doing exactly what you’d want to, and life would be too damn awesome not to be nice to everybody.
at least, that’s how i see it.
my first thought was, how does she deal with the smell? or is she one of those people who don’t get the funkgunk piercings? i don’t except for stretched piercings, but still! having that many must make cleaning difficult yet VERY necessary…
she is absolutely amazing!!
how many piercings is she upto now?
thats alot of metal….and i cant help but wonder if she stuck that much metal in her face what does the cooch look like? now THATS what i want to see!
I wonder how the people that are saying how this is “ugly” (in their opinion of course) would feel if I came up to them and said “in my opinion, you are very ugly.” Just because its your opinion doesn’t mean its not a hurtful opinion. Its not always a bad thing to keep it to yourself. I’m not saying people aren’t allowed their opinion, because that should always be the case. But try not to be so judgmental of whats ugly and whats beautiful.
her surface jewlery is tygon
its flexible and more comfortable to wear than a surface bar.
true story…. and as for the whole she’s ugly thing
who cares, you get piercings for youself, because they make you feel better, and make you feel more beautiful
nots not anyones place to judge.
i enjoy body modifications because they make me feel more attractive and make me more confident
same for most everyone i feel.

There are many people in many places who would find my few piercings and tattoos unattractive, however normal they are here in Seattle. I always try to keep this in mind..some would say that my stretched lobes are revolting.
I have always dug this lady, what ambition!
if i wanted to be pretty for other people – i would bank the money i spend on modifications and head to Walmart- While I would hesitate to call another human ugly- i assume she not only knows people may hold this view- but her choice to alter herself to this degree may be a comment saying she doesn’t give two thoughts to what others think and it is about how she views herself.
That is my mods. I’d say it is probably fairly easy to be pretty to the masses- I just can’t think it would be very fun.
She is great- and i think she is *so red* cause she wears a lot of decorative face paint and makeup??
as well i read online (how ever reliable that is) that she has something like over 500 genital piercings up to date.
I don’t know what’s more amazing…the piercings, the makeup or the hair. She’s walking art and self-expression. And just like art itself, some people “get it” and some people don’t.
We were in glasgow,absolutely slaughtered after a gig…and we went for a Dominos and she was outside having twos with some hippy guy…
Yeah she ordered pepperoni…
the piercer is fit too…quickly to glasgow!!!3 hours on a bus chyeah right!
You know, it’s not the piercings that bother me at all. I actually admire them quite a bit.
It’s the godawful makeup that gets to me.
I just can’t help but wish she would trim the tygon in the wrist and arms and shorten her eyebrow barbells. There is a bit of extra length/diameter on almost everything she wears, which will lead/has led to scarring.
Trying on clothes in a shop would be interesting with that many exposed piercings…
I can just see the shop keeper now:
“NO NOT THE LACE!! NOT THE LAAAACE!!!”
is that makeup on her face?
honestly I’m a big fan of piercings… but this is just redicilous.. it does not fit her… its way over done..the hair is nice though…
I have a badge with her picture on it I got in Edinburgh 🙂 I see her whenever I’m out in the city and she seems so nice! She always chats to the tourists. <3
Agreed with post 117! They’re sooo long :s
Wow, I wonder how much it has cost… I wouldn’t do that, but if she wants to, it doesn’t interrupt my life. She seems happy, good enough for me.
Awesome! Good luck to her! It’s not my personal style but she seems so happy – who cares if others don’t like it? She’s doing what she wants and thats the best thing ever. This made my day.
i want to touch her face…i really love it!
I saw her late last year at the Scottish Bodyart Show in Perth. Quite a sight in real life.
Holy fuck! She’s the reason I started wanting to get pierced as a kid. I remember seeing her on Riply’s,or some other show, and thinkging, “wow, that’s horrifyingly sexy to me!”
Thanks to her i dicovered BME… i was searcing her pictures on web.. but thats not what i wanted to say. I just love her look 🙂 hoottt.. 😛
Hey, Shannon, i would be very happy if you ever get to interview her 🙂 I bet many would like to read it too ^^
her piercings are cool, but i dont get here make up. looks a bit tacky with the red cheeks and glitter.
might look a bit better if her jewellery actualy fit the piercings..he eyebrow bars aggitate me there so long…
must be annoying
Every time I see this woman around town, I wonder how she cleans all her piercings, and if she can get through airport security without taking them all out!
Hey, wow – I used to see her practically every day when I lived in Edinburgh; she always made me smile. I was working up the courage to go up to her and say hi. Go her!
& possessed > I was wondering if I’d get stopped going through airport security on my way into the US – not a beep going through the metal detector! I know I only have ten holes, but still. 🙂
poor lady her face is just one big rejection scar already she needs to stop.
I know her.
She is a lovely person and has had most of these piercings for years, so rejection isn’t really a worry for her. She will just get them re-done.
Interview, please!!!
#74 I don’t think this is a flattering picture, everything looks jumbled, but in that video it looks like it suits her face. Pretty!
Love that sunshine smile. 🙂
