Top 10 Bizarre Piercing Images
Published on January 26, 2008 - 109 Comments
Body piercing is something of a modern fad amongst youngsters (and some oldsters). It involves inserting metal objects in to places in the body that really don’t need to have metal objects in them. Some people have become so fascinated by this practice that they have “extreme” piercings. This is a list of the top 10. These images are all safe for work - though I can not be held responsible for your dry-cleaning bill if you are viewing this after eating.

1. Joni - January 26th, 2008 at 11:13 am
So what happens when they have to go through a metal detector at the airport?
2. alexlwe - January 26th, 2008 at 11:17 am
Joni: they have to take them off one by one..
3. jfrater - January 26th, 2008 at 11:18 am
Or you could just have a high powered electromagnet which takes them all off in one go
4. albert0 - January 26th, 2008 at 11:21 am
OUCH!
5. TH3W1R3D - January 26th, 2008 at 11:24 am
#4 destroyed her skin.
6. jfrater - January 26th, 2008 at 11:30 am
TH3W1R3D: skin? is there any left behind the metal?!
7. Juggz - January 26th, 2008 at 11:41 am
Nice to see your Watermarking your images now Jamie.
8. NBA Analyst - January 26th, 2008 at 11:42 am
second to last one looks like obama!
9. steve - January 26th, 2008 at 11:45 am
why?…
10. jfrater - January 26th, 2008 at 11:59 am
Juggz: I decided it was time - it helps to protect against ebaums thefts and hotlinking
11. Scar.. - January 26th, 2008 at 12:09 pm
Yikes, I doubt any of them can get in a plain!
12. Qelqoth - January 26th, 2008 at 12:19 pm
Number four looks like my community diversity officer.
13. Jess - January 26th, 2008 at 12:20 pm
How do these people sleep at night? Especially number 7…ouch.
14. Spence425 - January 26th, 2008 at 12:22 pm
i don’t get it…i don’t get it at all.
15. John - January 26th, 2008 at 12:27 pm
I would soooo not want to be #3. Though the other ones are really bad too. Why do people do that to themselves???
16. King of the Horizon - January 26th, 2008 at 12:31 pm
no 2 doesnt look too extreme altho he seems to be a type of klingon(check out the weird forehead)
17. goof_ball - January 26th, 2008 at 12:44 pm
#3 is cool
#7 is unique
The rest are TOO MUCH!
18. >HCC - January 26th, 2008 at 12:53 pm
I like 3…I think it looks cool ^^
I like alot of peircings but they’ve actually obscured thier faces with this shit!
I wouldn’t call them pretty people tbh, but whatever floats your boat =]
19. Fili - January 26th, 2008 at 12:57 pm
This list could’ve had practically hundreds of pictures.
http://www.guinnessworldrecord.....ssion.aspx
20. Sue - January 26th, 2008 at 1:10 pm
i guess i just don’t get it.
i just got my lip peirced because i figured it might make a cute counter balance in my face, and it works, but i have no real urge to keep going farther.
besides that, it hurts like a son of a bitch!
21. Daniel - January 26th, 2008 at 1:29 pm
Personally, I don’t get it. What do they see in it? It’s ugly and it ruins your appearance. I can’t imagine anyone would find it attractive (or even not nauseating).
Anyone here want to explain it to me?
22. Deegan - January 26th, 2008 at 2:05 pm
You think they have enough money to fly?
23. malena992 - January 26th, 2008 at 2:12 pm
i can’t even begin to understand how you ranked them. they all go to number one to me
24. jfrater - January 26th, 2008 at 2:16 pm
malena992: with my eyes closed
Deegan: hahahah!
25. DiscHuker - January 26th, 2008 at 2:34 pm
they probably don’t have enough money because they spent it all on these piercings. i feel like they all need a hug.
26. Vicky - January 26th, 2008 at 3:04 pm
The ribbons are kind of pretty, but it’s not the kind of thing I would want to make permanent.
27. Jaffa - January 26th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
#3 doesn’t seem to fit with the rest. Flesh corsets (which is what they’re called) are usually temporary, and heal much more cleanly than the rest of the ones up there. I mean, sheesh! to the rest.
28. Ruairi - January 26th, 2008 at 3:52 pm
are 6 and 9 the same person?
29. el duderino - January 26th, 2008 at 4:08 pm
“Mommy and daddy didn’t love me.”
30. Jess - January 26th, 2008 at 4:19 pm
Ruairi: I think they are! Jfrater, you made a mistake :O
31. NoPunyNerd - January 26th, 2008 at 4:20 pm
DiscHucker: “they all need a hug” … good one! but they just look so … I dunno … unapproachable?
32. Cat Skyfire - January 26th, 2008 at 5:38 pm
I think 6 and 9 are the same person.
33. Alicia - January 26th, 2008 at 5:40 pm
Surgical steel isn’t magnetic, duh.
34. Alicia - January 26th, 2008 at 5:41 pm
..And he’s not a Klingon, I believe those are implants. xD
35. glaukopis - January 26th, 2008 at 6:05 pm
6 & 9 are the same guy
36. LePetiteMort - January 26th, 2008 at 6:47 pm
@glaukopis - they are!! -le gasp-!!!
There’s been a mistake!!
37. copperdragon - January 26th, 2008 at 6:53 pm
and that’s just from the waist up!!!
Jfrater, you should include a more “extensive” list on the NSFW area.
38. Mom424 - January 26th, 2008 at 7:18 pm
I read about a guy getting all those rows of rings (#7), went into shock and damn near died….
To do the corsetting thing, ya must be quite the endorphin junkie…
I’m thinkin’ #7 is some cultural thing,,,
are the rest circus performers? (i was gonna say freaks but thought better of it)
39. Mom424 - January 26th, 2008 at 7:19 pm
i mean 8,,,,lol
40. Kelsi - January 26th, 2008 at 7:36 pm
Vicky: They’re not permanent, surface piercings grow out pretty rapidly. It sucks because they’re so expensive to get done, especially that many, but they’re not really permanent and if they’re done well shouldn’t scar either.
41. JWJWBEAN - January 26th, 2008 at 8:04 pm
If 6 and 9 are the same, he has a lot more added as 6 than as 9.
42. amoondoo - January 26th, 2008 at 8:25 pm
number 7 was on tv once…after they put all those in, they took them out for infection reasons or soemthing…..pointless really.
43. riledupone - January 26th, 2008 at 8:49 pm
It would be a lot less painful to just hold up a sign saying, “hey! Look at me!” Same result.
44. nick - January 26th, 2008 at 9:08 pm
sexy lol.
45. JettaKeiran - January 26th, 2008 at 9:29 pm
Three isn’t really that odd. I’ve seen it plenty of times in person. However the rest of them disgust me and I will admit to corset piercing being a shock to someone who isn’t used to it.
46. GingerLee - January 26th, 2008 at 10:17 pm
One ring to rule them all…plus another four or six dozen.
47. Bacon - January 26th, 2008 at 11:29 pm
I think there should be a before and after type thing where they take the piercings out.
On second thought, no, I don’t want to see that.
48. Miss Destiny - January 27th, 2008 at 12:51 am
I saw the first one and thought, “My God, that’s the first image? How can it get any worse than that?”
But it got worse. Still very fascinating! Dare I ask if a bizarre tattoo list is coming soon?
49. jfrater - January 27th, 2008 at 1:14 am
Miss Destiny: you mean like Top 20 worst tattoos?
[NSFW]
50. jrjb - January 27th, 2008 at 1:18 am
I’m flabbergasted! #4 she almost looks like burn victim.Not cool. The WWE should take a look at some of these 8 and 10.
Miss Destiny: There is a tatoo list on this site cause they were just as nuts as this people.
51. 20Fan20 - January 27th, 2008 at 3:15 am
So what is with all the really bad make up? At least #3 can be covered with a shirt after you sober up some!
52. corinthian0430 - January 27th, 2008 at 3:36 am
i fink i’m gonna throw my cookies now….
53. jfrater - January 27th, 2008 at 3:37 am
20Fan20: I wondered that too - it is really weird.
54. amie - January 27th, 2008 at 3:55 am
Can anyone say ouch?? I wonder if these people honestly believe they look “fashionable”?
55. alicia - January 27th, 2008 at 4:01 am
it is incredible:S
56. Mick - January 27th, 2008 at 10:08 am
is it just me or do pics 6 and 9 look like the same person¿
57. Ian - January 27th, 2008 at 11:55 am
#4 lives quite close to me in Edinburgh - I often pass her in the street. She did hold the world record for most piercings for a while, I’m not sure if she still does.
58. delioglan - January 27th, 2008 at 12:58 pm
6 and 9 is the same i guess.
i really cant understand why these people to this to themselves, it looks like they only make their life harder with those metals.
59. goregina - January 27th, 2008 at 2:31 pm
i have my lip pierced twice & bridge, and most people i talk to think thats enough! hahahaha
60. Diogenes - January 27th, 2008 at 4:36 pm
Now if they all had bizarre mustaches to boot, then i would open my hands and have a dance with the Apocalypse.
61. Conni - January 27th, 2008 at 8:50 pm
Well, as for me, my ears and nose are all I have pierced and that works just fine. They are really special peolpe =).
62. chris - January 27th, 2008 at 11:03 pm
Anyone who pierces anything besides simple nose and ear piercings is either incredibly dumb, or they just can’t feel pain. I know that you would have to pay me a large sum of money to do half of what these people are doing.
63. sue - January 27th, 2008 at 11:08 pm
ouch!!!!!
64. Ikkin - January 28th, 2008 at 1:58 am
Four and Five are the same lady right. Or am I just imagining things.
I love peircings. They can be quite beautiful if not over the top and done correctly. I have my nose, left side of my lip and just got a labret done. I also used to have my eyebrow done but that grew out and left a nice scar. I’m also stretching my ears
and people think all that’s weird. I should show them this.
65. fishing4monkeys - January 28th, 2008 at 2:14 am
Ikkin:
I don’t think 4 and 5 are the same but 6 and 9 are the same guy.
66. aahhh - January 28th, 2008 at 2:47 am
modblog.bmezine.com
check it if you want to see similar piercings and other modifications
67. Ikkin - January 28th, 2008 at 3:20 am
fishing4monkeys:
I dunno there’s some very similar piercings and jewelry there. And also her mouth, nose and eyes are very much the same. :S
68. melloyello - January 28th, 2008 at 3:21 am
I think 3 looks really neat. Very creative. But then again…I am afraid of needles and therefore have 0 piercings so…
69. Kristin - January 28th, 2008 at 8:41 am
I have a few body piercings, but nothinf that bad, i want to know what these people would like if the took all those out. Their faces must be extra heavy.
And not to sound really weird or anything but i kinda like the corset piercings. I would never get one but they look kinda cool, but i heard the people that get them are not allowed to keep them in for a long period of time. they have to take them out almost right after they get it done. To me thats not worth the pain.
70. Rick B - January 28th, 2008 at 10:16 am
Ok here we go again, more freaks. Now are the normal people supposed to ignore this and each of these freaks should be hired into high paying public jobs? I’ll bet there is one person who would say yes. So I will say, would you let your son or daughter go out with somebody like this? And after he/she has had an affect on your daughter, would you gladly drive her to get her body pierced?
71. Diane - January 28th, 2008 at 11:20 am
Im pretty sure 6 and 9 are the same guy.
72. MzFly - January 28th, 2008 at 12:47 pm
Maybe it’s me but, does anyone else think #9 looks a lot like Barack Obama?? lol!
73. SpookyMulder - January 28th, 2008 at 1:32 pm
#7 was going for the world record for most piercings in one sitting. I believe he beat the record with 1,016 piercings.
74. szirmaic - January 28th, 2008 at 5:49 pm
Is it just me, or are #6 and #9 the same person?
75. batesman - January 28th, 2008 at 9:10 pm
not only are #6 and #9 the same person, but so are #4 and #5.
76. Diogenes - January 28th, 2008 at 9:20 pm
Rick B- Hopefully we stear our children away from going into extreme overload such as existing in these examples.
aw man! what’s the story behind number 8?
those arnt twins right? thats the same guy, no?
77. Alycia - January 29th, 2008 at 5:07 am
The number 3 ones are awesome!!
78. SpookyMulder - January 29th, 2008 at 10:40 am
Wow Rick B. Apparently you will bash anyone that is different than you. Wait I think I know of more people like you….oh yeah. They are called nazis.
79. Satori - January 30th, 2008 at 3:26 am
#6 and #9 are the same guy.
80. cryndigo - January 30th, 2008 at 9:06 am
Those all look very painful.
81. thefatbasturd - February 1st, 2008 at 1:00 am
I know someone who did #3 because she “Saw it on the internet and wanted to do it because it was original.” I pointed out to her that it wasn’t exactly original if she was copying someone else, but the logic was lost on her. Gotta love it. “I’m showing my individuality by conforming to a trend!”
82. Jorgegrl - February 2nd, 2008 at 12:16 pm
I wanted a corset piercing for a long time. They are only temporary though. http://modblog.bmezine.com/wp-.....7-pix1.jpg
this one really gets my goat.
CAUTION (its kinda graphic. guys. I am warning you. seriously)
83. Jorgegrl - February 2nd, 2008 at 12:17 pm
Actually. Go to bodymod.com they have some crazy pics. The ones on this list were tame.
84. JwJwBean - February 2nd, 2008 at 4:56 pm
It took me a bit to figure out what exactly I was looking at. I knew what it was. I just didn’t see the type of piercing. How is that even possible? Can he still pee? LOL
85. JimmyKnipps - February 4th, 2008 at 5:09 am
jorgegrl: Have you seen the BME Pain Olympics? I just threw up in my mouth a little bit thinking about it. 2girls1cup is Sesame Street compared to that.
86. the hound - February 4th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
i want to see 2 of these people making out so they get stuck.
87. Thelonious - February 4th, 2008 at 11:51 pm
Some people!!!!!
88. manduh - February 5th, 2008 at 3:42 am
hmm. I’m pretty sure the first 3 images are from bme….they get a little pissy about that kinda thing….
89. devilishgrin66 - February 12th, 2008 at 5:12 pm
kristen - i think corset piercings are gorgeous on girls.
jwjwbean - he might have to take it out, theres actually a piece of jewelry for the prince albert piercing that is called a ‘prince’s wand’ , it has a removable piece that you actually piss through.
Rick B - Are they asking for higher paying jobs? Many of the extremely heavily modified people (katzen, lizardman, enigma) often do circus/freakshow type performances and use their modification to their advantage. I would let my kids have any kind of modification they wanted.
I myself have 8 tattoos and 6 piercings (i took the 7th out because it was a single piercing on one side, i have ocd and need to have things symmetrical). I have ’snakebites’, 2 piercings in the lower lip, one on each side, my nipples pierced and earlobe piercings that are stretched to 1/2 inch (about the size of a chapstick tube). My only visible tattoo is on my wrist, but I am planning many many more. I will admit that some things are quite extensive but I believe that people should be happy and allowed to do what they want with their bodies.
#3 and 7 are play piercings, #3 can be permanent but it is very rare and usually are only kept in from a few hours to a month. #7 is one of those types of play piercing that is often taken out as soon as it is completed.
90. devilishgrin66 - February 12th, 2008 at 5:17 pm
Oh and to add to above, I am only 20 and have gotten all of those on my own since I turned 18…at a cost of about 4 to 5 thousand dollars of my own money. I work and go to school and pay for it all on my own. I plan on going into piercing and opening a tattoo shop.
However I would like to throw in a picture of something I hope to have one day that will probably elicit a much more extreme reaction from you guys than anything up above, even though it is in a very simple place that is seen all the time.
I will warn you now that it is not for the faint of heart.
http://www.niioc.nl/cei-eng.htm
91. JwJwBean - February 12th, 2008 at 7:17 pm
That made my eyes water. It looks very pretty. I could never do it. I am not against others having these things done. I personally can not do it. I have my ears double pierced, but that is due to me tearing my earring out when I was really young and it never healed so I had to get a second hole to be able to wear earrings. I rarely wear them tho because my ears became itchy and red. I would be afraid of tattoo ink. I worry I would be allergic. I love to look at people that have them tho.
92. devilishgrin66 - February 12th, 2008 at 10:02 pm
i sat myself down and watched the video of the procedure, it was hard to do but i got through it lol. i reallyyy want it though because i think its a testament to how far body modification has come.
93. JwJwBean - February 12th, 2008 at 10:07 pm
I am surprised everyday by who I find out has some sort of body modification. Not to the extreme of this list, but some sort of small something. Scarification is the one I have a really hard time with. I don’t understand the thinking behind that one. If someone wants to do it so be it, but I try to figure out their psyche on it.
94. JwJwBean - February 12th, 2008 at 10:11 pm
I watched the video and it doesn’t seem all that bad. I don’t know what kind of recovery there is.
95. devilishgrin66 - February 12th, 2008 at 10:43 pm
recovery isnt hard. they create a space in the conjunctiva and so the eye retains its sphere shape, you just put drops in your eye 3 times a day for a week and then its healed. it apparently feels ‘like you have an eyelash stuck in your eye’
96. dean - February 17th, 2008 at 10:51 pm
shit! imagine wat ur face would look like if u took all of em off.. *shudder*
97. Draco - February 18th, 2008 at 10:33 am
For Goodness sake!!! They are destroying the METALS!!! hehe.
98. devilishgrin66 - February 18th, 2008 at 10:59 am
dean - it would basically just look like a bunch of small holes (fistulas). when you get pierced, its the same as if you got shot. your body has an open wound. the natural instinct of the body would be to close around it. however, because with a piercing you have a piece of metal in the way, the body heals around the metal and creates a new opening. i have my ears stretched like the guy in #7, so if i were to take out the earrings they would close up a little bit but never all the way.
99. chris - February 21st, 2008 at 7:31 pm
these piercings are really awsome
100. Paul - February 23rd, 2008 at 8:01 pm
9 and 6 are the same person
101. Gr - March 14th, 2008 at 7:04 pm
7 and 3 look pretty cool actually, but god i would NEVER do that
102. Akira - March 18th, 2008 at 8:46 am
# 9 is Barack Obama
103. Cat - April 1st, 2008 at 6:55 pm
I don’t understand why they do this to themself.. It must huurt a little, ouch
104. xlucyemogirlx - April 12th, 2008 at 10:23 am
i get it when you get piercings it releases endorphins (like when you cut yourself) and you can get addicted to it. so far i have 3 lip peircings, 7 ear peircings, 1 naval peircing and 6 corset peircings! And actualy i find it kind of addictive.
105. devilishgrin66 - April 15th, 2008 at 3:36 am
haha if you want i’ll send in my pictures of my split tongue, microdermal piercings or the flesh hook suspension pictures i have.
106. guess who - April 26th, 2008 at 3:51 pm
im al 4 piercings but wow this is ****in crazy
107. Taranis - April 29th, 2008 at 2:16 pm
The second picture, (the younger dude) actually doesn’t look that bad, but his bridge piercing is lob-sided, which is a pain in the butt to fix. I like 4 and 5 how they have the dragon bridge piercing on their noses (having a row of barbells that go down your nose to look like a chinese dragon’s nose) I’d like to get that but my nose is big enough, I don’t need it to dominate my face. haha
108. Taija - May 11th, 2008 at 6:18 am
Oh, wow. That’s all I can say.
