Most Flesh Tunnels in Face: Man has 11 Facial Tunnels - Measure 34mm but planning to make them bigger

Some Guinness World Records are impressive feats of skill while others are down to the grace of God - but perhaps the most memorable are the strange ones.

Joel Miggler holds the record for the most flesh tunnels in the face - 11 as of 2014 - and boasts more stretched piercings than anyone else on the planet.

Speaking ahead of Guinness World Records Day - the 11th annual celebration to acknowledge the superlative feats of 650,000 holders - the 22-year-old reveals where his obsession began.

The German-born record holder explained that at the age of 13 he started with a single, regular ear-piercing and decided that he liked that look.

He then slowly began adding flesh holes fitted with expanders to his lips and nose - saving the largest two for his cheeks.

These measure a very painful 34mm but Joel has plans to increase them to 40mm, despite them already acting as a window to the teeth inside his mouth.

He said: 'I think body modification is a very addictive process.




'When I make something new I have one week in a little bit of pain, after this week I am very proud to have a new thing. I am very happy and want to go to the next one.'

Joel also discussed his world record and explained that while he was not the first person to cut his cheeks and fit flesh holes, he was the first to cut them three times.

He noted that the process involves a lot of bleeding, but that eventually it does heal very well and he then begins thinking about getting another.

In terms of eating Joel said that he does not have many problems, although he is required to take small bites and of course soup is liable to leak out the side.

Showing off what he can do with his body modifications, Joel is filmed sucking a lollipop through the large hole in the side of his mouth.

He also places a strawberry lace through one cheek before pulling it out the other side and holding either end of it.

Joel is even able to poke his tongue, which has been surgically split down the middle, through the flesh holes in his mouth.

In the future Joel plans to stretch his face even more and would also like to get an eye-ball implant - a piece of decorative jewellery placed within the superficial, interpalpebral conjunctiva of the eye.
