Man spent 2 million Naira tearing holes through his face [Graphic]

A 22-year old  man has broken the world record for 'the most number of flesh tunnels'.

Joey Miggler, 22, unsettling piercings would allow him to feature in the upcoming Guinness book of World Records.

He has spent 2 million Naira acquiring a grand total of 27 different piercings, as well as six tattoos, an implant and has even had his buttock branded.

Mr Miggler, from Germany, said he usually experiences a week of pain after a new or wider tunnel, but as soon as it has healed, he starts thinking about the next one.

The body artist received his first piercing when he was 13 years old - a "normal fleshy" in his earlobe.

However, since then he has developed a taste for bizarre body modification and has admitted to feeling "addicted" to his unique pasttime.

He can even slide a sting of strawberry lace from cheek to cheek - as seen in the picture below.

He has eleven 'expanders' in total all over his face, including his nose and lips.

Mr Miggler said: "I'm very happy with my flesh tunnels, but I always want to get a new one.

"In the future I want to stretch my face even more - to be the most unique person.

"I just enjoy playing with my body".

He added that people on the street are surprisingly kind and respectful - unlike those on social media.

Mr Miggler said: 'When I walk around on the street, people only stare or sometimes ask me questions if they are interested in my jewellery.

"It is only on social networks that they mostly discriminate and offend me."
