The human body is a thing of wonder. Just when we set a limit for our body, someone comes forward with an incredible, new body record. Sometimes it’s the thrill, some times it’s the challenge, while at other times it’s just an abnormality which enables a particular human body to break and set new limits. In this article, we have brought you 10 such unbelievable human body records.

1 Most face flesh tunnels

German extreme body artist Joel Migger was awarded a Guinness World Record in 2014, with 11 face tunnels in his face ranging from 3 to 34 mm.

Joel Migger took piercing to a whole new level after creating a giant flesh tunnel in his cheeks. He started experimenting with body modifications at the tender age of 13. At 23, he now holds the world record for the highest number of flesh tunnels in a face.

Until now, Migger has spent more than £4,000 to alter his body. Despite his extreme look, he insists that his tunnels do not affect his daily life and instead simply takes smaller bites when eating. Migger says he has acquired a grand total of 27 different piercings, as well as six tattoos, an implant, and has even had his buttock branded.(1,2)
