With facial piercings like that, how does this guy manage to swallow water?

And in today’s example of a person who has permanently changed their body in a way they definitely won’t regret in their 50’s, we have Joel Miggler.

Also called the ‘Bodymoded Punky‘, Joel is a 23-year-old extreme body artist from Germany. And ‘extreme’ is not an exaggeration.

Now, this guy’s piercings are intense. There are TWO GIANT HOLES in his cheeks, so we’re going to make you scroll down for your own protection. It’s definitely NSFW. And probably also NSFL (not suitable for life):

Okay, here it is:

We’re calling it: This is worse than the guy who put a massive hole in his chin.

All in all, Joel has 27 piercings, 6 tattoos, a SPLIT TONGUE, a bunch of ‘implants’ (whatever that means) and a ‘branded buttocks’.

As for those holes, he’s been stretching them a little bit at a time since he was 13. Apparently he has to take smaller bites when eating, and he needs to put caps on them when drinking water, but other than that, he doesn’t notice them.

Take a look at some of Joel’s other ‘work’. You know you want to…
