It’s hard for a woman with almost 7,000 piercings not to form attachments – and on Wednesday, Elaine Davidson, the world record holder for body adornments, added one final ring to her collection when she got married.

Elaine, who has 6,925 piercings weighing 3kg (7lb), got hitched in Edinburgh to Douglas Watson â who has none.

âPeople see the piercings but I see the amazing personality underneath,â said the groom, who is in his 60s.

Brazilian-born Elaine said: âPeople often just want to look at me or touch me â some even want to kiss me.â

The 46-year-old former nurse, from Edinburgh, never removes the rings and studs, even in bed, and insists there is no pain involved in piercing. She also sleeps on a bed of nails, walks on fire and lies on broken glass.



Meanwhile, Staysha Randall yesterday set the world record for the most body piercings in one sitting.

The 22-year-old show performer was pierced 3,200 times in her back, arms and legs in Las Vegas â breaking the record by 100 but short of her aim of 3,600.
