The World's Most Pierced Man.

Englishman John Lynch holds the record for most body piercings at 241 piercings, including 151 in his head and neck.

The world most pierced man is now almost 81 years old old John Lynch or Prince Albert - his nick name which will give you a clue to where some of his piercings are.  John is from Hemel Hempstead in Hertfordshire, UK.

He was found to have 241 piercings including 151 in the head and neck when examined and made sure he had some extra piercings beforehand to gain the record in London on the 17th of October 2008. He said, "I never thought about breaking the record, I've alway's just done it cause I like it, but it is quite an achievment" "I was actually a few short so had 20 or so popped into my arms to up the numbers and if somebody beats me I could always find space for a few more."

John Lynch  is a unique character whose story is just as interesting as his visible appearance. He is known for having the most piercings of anyone in the UK where he resides. You may recognize him from tattoo and piercing sites, tattoo conventions, and magazines.  

A former Barclay's Bank manager, Lynch gave up his 'regular' life style in the late 1990's after reading a book on piercings.

John Lynch (UK) was born 9th of November 1930. He worked in a bank for 30 years before retiring and getting his first piercing in his nose. Lynch hated the conformity of the work place and developed an interest in extreme body modification as a way of standing out from the crowd. Although the piercing came after he left the bank, Lynch got his first tattoo when he was in his 40's.     

I have personally met this man, a very nice, interesting easy going gentleman.
