Piercing King

(Dubai, United Arab Emirates)

The world's most-pierced man, Rolf Buchholz, was just deported from Dubai, for fear of 'black magic', he says.[…]

While the 55-year-old from Dortmund's 458 metal piercings include 127 in and around his lips, 25 in his eyebrows and 8 in his nose, a further 278 punctuate his genital area. We'll leave it to the imagination what that must look like or demand in the way of maintenance.

Add the twin horns, giant earlobe tunnels and equally prolific swathes of tattoos acquired during the past 15 years, and he makes an undeniably striking figure.[…]

The Cirque le Soir nightclub in Dubai, which had invited him to join an array of sword swallowers and other distinctive guests at an event, said airport authorities cited “security reasons” in denying him entry.

I suspect the Dubai officials were spooked by Buchholz's appearance and didn't want to take any chance that he would disrupt society in Dubai.
