Yikes. That must be an obsession for sure. Hope Elaine had a lot of money for all the gold and silver she would have to keep in those piercings.

Um, that is just gross!!! Why the heck would someone want to pierce one's self that many times? I can think of a bunch of horrible ways to tease such a person. Best not ever fly because that metal detector would have a field day and she couldn't possibly take all that off in time to make her flight! Best not play with magnets around her, she would sure throw off the whole magnetic field. But hey, if the ever loose her or want her to come home really fast, I guess her husband or whomever could just power on the electric magnet! LOL Nevermind, I don't need those shoes after all, I feel my husband pulling me home. ha ha Oh, and a question...if you take them all out, would she deflate? Quick! Someone plug that holes before she ends up like a balloon flying around the house. Oh nevermind, I can't...I don't have enough fingers or toes! Wow! I am sorry for picking but that is just insane!!!

OMG. I just took a close look at the image and I think I am going to be sick. That is so ugly. I cannot understand why anybody would want to pay so much money to abuse their body. Even after looking at that awful pic, I still couldn't see myself allowing any of my children to have their lip pierced. Anyway, they're all grown up now, so I suppose I couldn't stop them, but I could stop them coming to visit.

I won't kiss my daughter with that thing in her lip. She will get the point after awhile. It is nasty.

Oh my, That had to hurt! What would you want that many piercings for? You wouldn't even be able to see the person's "true" beauty. It would be covered with jewelry. Oh well, "To each their own". But I personally would not want more than one in each of my ears.

Some consider it beautiful, others not. You are right, to each their own.

Yeah, now aren't you thankful that she doesn't have as many piercings as Ms Davidson does? That is just alot of piercings, I don't think I'd go that far with my body.

Too much of anything is just not right. 720 piercings, I can only imagine the smell. Body piercings when not cleaned properly (DAILY) smell....could you imagine how this woman must smell? EW! There is no way that she could properly care for all of those every single day.

I need to tell my former roommate about Elaine Davidson! :) My former roommate was up to 13 piercings at one point, and she said she wanted to go for an even 20 before she stopped, but she was running out of places to pierce! Apparently there are a lot more places that she could pierce, if someone can have 720 piercings! :)
