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!

i just dont like this, i dont think it works for her, its just not attractive
some people can pull off the full face pierced look, she is not one of them, and that arm tattoo REALLY needs to be re-inked
Mmmm, I’ll not leave any comments.
lol i think she’s brill
whats the jewellery in her arm though? looks very thin
considering she has so many piercings, i’m suprised she doesn’t do them herself. Must have cost her a fair bit over the years
So… when she has to clean them… does she just bathe in saline?
The arm stuff made me want to vomit. But seriously, more power to her for being happy with all of it.
I guess if that’s what she likes, why not? To me… how about no.
i actually just cant take my eyes off that makeup!!!!!!!
an interview would def be awesome. so the stuff on her face…makeup?
#1..#5: Yeah, I don’t really like her work either, but boy, do I respect her.
Just don’t be kkk, please 😉
It’s very interesting to know about her more.
Please, Shannon, do interview!
I would love to know the motivations behind it; she seems so happy– I love it! If i ever saw her I’d give her one helluva hug.
Imagine her with all that taken off/out of her face. Just look at those eyebrows and the ridge of her nose. I wouldn’t be proud of it. But whatever 🙂
I agree on the arm piercings, looks like one of them is growing out too. Still, gotta give credit where it’s due. INTERVIEW!!
I just noticed, my sentences/clauses rhyme =]
why is everyone so negative?
I think she’d bold and brave to live the way she wants when society is so close minded (have the previous posts not just proved that).
dont get me wrong, i am very happy for her!!!!!!!!
and im very glad that she embraces it!
its just not for me ^.^
Aww she looks so happy!!
i kind of like the row going across her top lip.
I see nothing wrong or unappealing about her look. I adore the eyemakeup as well. As a whole, she’s very eye-catching.
14, we’re here to express our opinions right? Well, some people dont like this kinda thing – we cant all just say “woah, that looks awesome” all the time, or this place would be pretty boring. Then again, these days every post turns into an argument…
For me, I dont like the look, its just too overpowering. The arm piercing dont look too great either, looks like someone didnt use the surface bar method. Still, as people have said before, much respect to her for going against the grain and taking her image into her own hands.
Do an interview for sure! I really want to know if that’s gymp in her arm…Haha.
quantity not quality it seems.
I find her quite intriguing.
i love this woman….almost as much as angelina jolie… 😛
just for the fact that she rocks this every day, and that she keeps doing what she loves no matter what…in a way i look up to people like her because seeing heavily modded people gives me the drive to keep piercing and modding myself….just seeing someone else very happy with their choices just keeps reinforcing my belief that I won’t regret these mods yeears from now…no matter what those around me may say. i love what i have, what i’ve done and i won’t regret it…its good to see living proof that you can grow older with mods and still be happy with them.
are those stretched piercings on her cheeks? like, below the dimple areas.. i cant tell, is that flesh hanging ?
this is just me, but all those piercings look like more work than theyre worth. id never be able to keep up with them all!
Interview!
I would love to know what inspired her to ‘become the world record holder’!
most piereced person, for real? actually this doesn’t look so much to me and I think most of the “much”-effect comes from all the dangling stuff. I bet it would look less if she’d replaced all the rings with studs. but I don’t know what she looks like underneath her clothes 😉
Interview = yes. I admire her dedication to piercings. She just WOWs me. It’s not my thing, and in some ways I feel it’s too much but the fact that she’s done it is awesome. Moreover, her makeup rocks!
PS – I love her cheshire cat smile
PPS – The mods in her arms look like they’re made of flexible material. Maybe like a plastic tubing with beads on the end.
I actually think it’s hideous. not to try and be mean, i just really don’t like it.
sorry, hideous was a mean word, I just thing it looks really unpleasent.
Seriously, how does she clean her face and how long does it take? I would guess that a washcloth would get caught too often. Do you think she created her own sponge or brush to suit her needs? It seems like a lot of care would be needed thereby taking a lot of time.
Michelle: As someone else has pointed out its not negative to point out incorrectly done piercings on someone…At least in my eyes, from a professional stand point its not…But again there is an ethical way to do it and a non-ethical way.
The ethical way is to be accepting of her decisions, because they are hers and hers alone to make. But personally in MY opinion, its overkill and does not properly give a “flow” between piercings and person…However that is MY opinion, which is definitely contrast to others, such as Elaine Davidson…Who its probably safe to say LOVES the way she looks. And just like others on here, absolutely LOVE the way she looks..
I definitely agree that if there’s one person to interview, it would be Elaine Davidson.
Piercer points I’d like to make…Definitely interested in finding out if the material on her arms are ASTM spec’ed PTFE or ISO spec’ed Tygon…or if they are the BioPlast that is being immensely rampant within the piercing community because they don’t know any better.
Also the gloves look a bit thin, is she using vinyl sandwich gloves?
Amazing! Any other pictures of her? What is the record?
:O i live round the corner from there, i got 2 belly bars during my lunch break at school ;D
I wonder why so many people feel compelled to make sure everyone knows its “not their thing”. I understand not everyone would like her look, but why make a post about it?
I think the people who don’t like this as an aesthetic hae missed the point. I don’t necessarily think it’s meant to be pretty, it’s just not meant to be about how other people perceive you, it’s a very personal journey.
If you are only getting tattoos and piercings because of what your friends will think, you should really look at yourself and why you’re transforming your body. For me, and a lot of others (and my ink has been posted on this blog before), it’s something much more personal than what others think about me.
Wow. It’s weird, but just looking at her makes me happy. Maybe it’s because she herself looks so happy.
Jay: Why do so many people feel compelled to say it IS their thing and that they love it?
Opinions…Everyone has one…and when given the option of voicing your opinion, that means everyones entitled to post their opinions.
or would you rather us all just blindly go: “OMG TEH BEST PIC EVAR!!!!!” every single time and simply not discuss/debate (in a proper manner) the images/topics we are given here?
Your opinions/views are valid, because they are yours to have…So not saying you’re in the wrong for stating that, but neither are the people who “felt compelled to say its not their thing”
Dimlight: Exactly it’s Elaines personal journey, her views on it are obviously that its beautiful…But everyones journey’s are different.
Some people want to get a lot of piercings, as its their personal views/journey…Others simply want a navel piercing or an ear lobe piercing…While others are more precise in placement,etc…Nobody is wrong in their own personal views when it comes to body modification…because we all have different views on whats too much or not enough,etc.
no, I’m not saying everyone has to say they like it. I think Thumper sums it up best: “if you don’t have nuthin nice to say, don’t say nuthin at all.” saying its hideous or unpleasent looking is not a discussion or a debate, its just rude. thats all I have to say about that.
She looks sweet..
I just googled her.. apparently she has 3 kilograms worth of piercings.. (700+ piercings)!
Hey, you put yourself out there, you invite the comment . . .
Anyway, totally not my style. I agree with whoever said that there was no flow between the person and the piercing – all aesthetic value has been lost in the sea of metal. But when you’re holding a record, I guess some things have to be lost to aesthetics sometimes, eh?
Brilliant! When I lived in Edinburgh I would see this lady EVERYWHERE, and she always just made my day. She always looks so sunny and happy.
And really, why does everyone have to be so down on the not-technically-perfect piercings, or so keen to point out how they don’t like X without adding to the conversation? Maybe we should just get agree/disagree buttons and cut out all the identical replies…
I wonder which one was her first!
i would like to know exactly how many piercings she has…and how long it took her to compile all of them. i definitly wouldnt do what she has done, but if it makes you happy, go for it. i wonder if or where she works too.
I wonder if the yellow dots around her eyes are makeup or piercings/microdermals?… Eek, I cant imagine having my eyelids pierced :X
i can’t decide if the piercings are what seems overwhelming or simply the jewelry choices. i wonder how she would look if she switched the hoops/dangling things for something more fitted-looking. does that make any sense?
and obviously everyone is going to have different opinions and i think ALL comments, whether negative or positive should be accepted. i do think, however, that saying WHY you like or don’t like something is way more constructive for everyone. for me personally, i think this looks cluttered (which may just be the dangling things all over) which is one reason i don’t find it aesthetically appealing. if you like it, say what you like about it. if you hate it, say why. there isn’t one wrong view and i feel negative views on modblog are usually attacked.
i think if she got the proper jewelry for the types of piercings she has it would look worlds better! the hoops just arent working for me
Jay Prince: I agree saying something is hideous or disgusting,etc is not utilizing a means of proper dialog in a conversation…But by simply saying its not their thing, is much different then claiming it to be hideous or disgusting.
Positive conversations not Negative conversations…When someone claims its disgusting/hideous they shoot the conversation right down to being negative and puts people on the defensive.
her arm piercings look like they have twisty bag ties through them. that would suck a lot to get that caught on something!
If she was a hot 17 year old girl i bet lots of people would LOVE her look..
pierced people come in all shapes, sizes or ages. She looks happy in every picture of her i’ve seen, and that is what matters.
