Just call Ed Bruns the human pincushion. During a marathon 4-hour, 27-minute session at Pain for Sale piercing and tattoo parlor in Gillette, Montana, he broke the Guinness World Record for most piercings. Actually, he didn’t break the record, he shattered it by a staggering 304 piercings! In total, Bruns got 1501 piercings during the session! While all of the piercings have been removed after the record was broken, he’s keeping#1501, a barbell in the back of his neck, to remember his painful experience.
All in all, the tattoo parlor used a year’s supply of 16-gauge needles on Ed during the course of this record-setting piercing session, but no doubt it’s worth it just for the free publicity. As for Ed, the 46-year-old truck driver earns a little respect, his name in the record books, and a trip to school with his daughter to be her display at show and tell. People said he was crazy to try it; maybe he was, but now he’s a crazy man with a world record!
Someone should buy him and his daughter a pierced kitten to remember their experience by?
