Back in 2012 when Davis Kizza Kana was interviewed by a Ugandan media, he had 32 piercings on his body.

Today, the dancer, model and fitness instructor, otherwise known as Rasta Kana, has 83 piercings, making him the most pierced man in Uganda.

Nose piercing, which is still a common practice among the Berber and Bedouin people of North Africa and the Middle East, determines the wealth of a family.

The unique art of lip piercing and stretching is still prevalent in Africa among the Mursi people in Ethiopia who have plates infused to their piercings mostly for aesthetics.

Currently, people get piercings for various reasons such as aesthetic appeal, self-expression and sexual pleasure, with the world’s most pierced man being Rolf Buchholz, from Dortmund, Germany, who has 480 piercings.
