Forty-three year-old Brazilian Elaine Davidson, who lives in Scotland, has made it into the Guinness Book of World Records for the most body piercings: 5,920 in total. She also won the world record in 2000 when she only had 462 piercings, including 192 on her face alone. Elaine is a nurse, and does not drink or smoke. Surprisingly, she doesn’t set off metal detectors at airports unless she is wearing a watch.

Hint: in Portuguese, the word “piercing” is the same as in English.
