10 World's Most Extreme Body Piercing (Warning: Graphic Contents).

Body piercing as defined by Wikipedia, is the practice of puncturing or cutting a part of the human body, creating an opening in which jewelry may be worn.


However, this act has taken a totally different turn, a turn to the extreme. In fact, humanity has been doing it for a long long time. One of these rituals was celebrated at Phuket, Thailand's Vegetarian festival where devotees pierce their faces and deny eating meat to become "pure".

Penetrating the body with objects of all kinds, however, is something that is practiced across the globe, although it has become far more common in the West over the last few decades.

Here are a few collections of the world's most extreme body piercings.
