Meet Joel Miggler, a 22-year-old with a ‘disturbing’ addiction
to flesh tunnels. He’s taken body piercings to a whole new
level with a total of 11 flesh holes fitted with expanders on his
face, including his nose and lips. Two of the largest holes are
on his cheeks, each measuring 34 mm in diameter. And he
soon plans to increase them to 40mm! Scoop reports:

 
German-born Miggler now holds the Guinness World Record
for ‘most flesh tunnels on face’. His obsession with body
modification began at age 13, when he got his first ‘normal’
fleshy on his earlobe. Since then, he’s developed a taste for
the process that he simply never got out of his system. “I’m
very happy with my flesh tunnels, but I always want to get a
new one,” he said.


Apart from the flesh tunnels, Miggler has a total of 27
piercings, six tattoos, an implant, and has had his b*ttock
branded. He also has a forked tongue, which is is able to fit
through both the holes in his cheek. He shows off his holes
by sliding a string of strawberry lace from cheek to cheek
and pulling it out through his mouth. He can also suck a lollipop through the sides of his mouth… Miggler admits that
body modification is painful – he says he experiences a week
of pain after each procedure, but as soon as it’s healed, he
begins to think of the next one. He wants to increase the size
of his cheek holes and even get an eyeball implant in the
future.

Miggler says that his modified body hasn’t really affected his
life all that much. Although he only takes “small bites” of
food, he can eat pretty much anything he wants. His face
mods also haven’t affected his social relationships very much
either. He’s been dating an artist for the past few months,
and he says people on the streets are quite kind and
respectful. “When I walk around on the street, people only
stare or sometimes ask me questions if they are interested in
my jewellery. It is only on social networks that they mostly
discriminate and offend me.”
