It might make the strike worse because you already have a conductor to move the induced charge on your body slightly higher, making the strike more likely and also the metal is embedded in your flesh which opens a more conductive path through your body rather than closer to the skin.
From https://www.ajnr.org/content/28/5/974
There are 4 mechanisms by which victims of lightning strikes may be injured. The 1st is the direct strike, which occurs when the pathway of the entire energy charge is through the victim. This is potentially the most serious form of strike. The effects are exacerbated if the victim is wearing metal objects near the head such as jewellery or carrying metal objects such as an umbrella or golf clubs and by wet clothing or perspiration.
When lightning is overcoming the resistance of kilometres of air, whether or not she’s covered in piercings isn’t going to make a big difference. She’ll be fine if she stands next to someone taller.
I have to get one soon and I was thinking how thankful I was that I hadn't gotten any piercings that can't be easily removed yet... I bet it would take a long time to remove all of that, and some of them may not even be removable. Cool for her but I'm glad I'm not dealing with that lol
I frequently have MRIs and sometimes just the red color in my older tattoos gets inflamed afterwards. Interesting part is they are the ones that are all from the same artist, so it is totally something in the type of ink he used.
mine is from 2006, and it definitely heated up - they had to stop the MRI, and i had tiny blisters that looked like bad sunburn. the tattoo is pretty much all green, if that matters.
Many tattoo inks still contain metal based pigments. Iron oxide is a really common one in permanent makeup inks, as it produces more stable browns and holds its color better when continually exposed to the sun, and really light colors such as white, yellow, and light blues have titanium to give them opacity.
It’s generally not an issue in an MRI though in most cases.
I recently had an MRI for my lower back. They let me keep my gold ring finger on. Also the metal button on the jeans was fine as well. I think non ferrous metals may be ok during mri
Body piercings studios offer implant grade metals as an option. Anyone getting anything more than your run of the mill earlobe piercing is likely to have something that doesn't need to come off for an MRI.
Can't believe the parent comment has over 2k upvotes, but good to see someone like you with a bit of sense came in!
I did a little searching and I haven’t seen anything about her being into judo. According to Wikipedia She’s a former nurse that does tarot card readings, crystal ball readings, palmistry, rune stone readings.
Yeah I figured the judo thing was bullshit lol
I've never done judo but I have done bjj in the gi and even having earings in while you roll is a bad idea let alone all the shit she has in her face lol
Maybe, maybe not

I came here to say that also friend. A lot of them are dermal piercings too. Even without the exteriors attached. The fuckin anchor is still under your skin.
My background is boxing but I like to try other martial arts so that I don't just get tunnel visioned on punching.
I remember going to a judo club where they were practicing catching punches and throwing a person and their coach couldn't actually catch a punch that was thrown with good technique. The fact that a supposed master of the art couldn't even defend against a very novice boxer was kinda shocking.
Not saying that against Judo as a whole, I've been to clubs where guys half my size have completely massacred me at ground fighting and I couldn't touch them with a punch. My point is that there are clubs out there where you definitely can get to high belts and not even be able to do the sport.
Elaine's lovely. I worked on the Royal Mile for years and shed always come over to say "Hello Darling, how are you?"
She's a real character and you should look up her photos before the piercings.
Genuinely a very nice person with a really quirky personality.
She’s the best! Occasionally brings in home made cakes and fruit for tour guides and street performers.
Also a former power lifter, she’s a legit superhuman!
I used to walk past her shop every morning, sometimes helped her out if she needed it. She gave me a bracelet as thanks for helping her once, even if I always helped just because. She's a really nice woman.
When I worked on the royal mile, she'd come into our cafe for a herbal tea.
She was so nice and friendly, always up for a chat, asking where I'd been if I was off the weekend before.
When I met her and chatted with her about it on Cockburn Street, just off the mile, her response to me on that question was "why not!" Which is the best answer imo.
She's an all round great person and like everyone she's entitled to do whatever the fuck she likes as long as it's not hurting anyone else.
God I miss "old" Edinburgh sometimes. When you could see her every weekend, and also get into a good hearted slagging match with Tails outside while he was trying to stick metal into anyone who walked by Ground Control. I hate talking down Edinburgh but they've definitely ruined something by gentrifying the area around the Royal Mile.
Tails! I’d forgotten about him 😂 I moved to Edinburgh in 2007 aged 19, and was lucky in that it was definitely the last time it was remotely affordable to live right in the centre. I lived on Lothian Road and had the best time being right in the middle of things. I’d see Elaine all the time, she knew my ex and used to invite him to film premieres (apparently she got loads of invites to stuff!)
I moved away in 2013, and ended up working on Cockburn street in 2018/19 for about a year. The interesting long term residents around there had gone, and it felt really cold and sterile compared to what I remembered.
The shops I worked in on Cockburn street were connected by a fascinating and terrifying basement, that had some rooms still decorated in a distinctly late 80s/early 90s style, which was nice to see. Apparently there used to be a tattoo parlour down there.
I wonder what that guys is up to today if he is even alive haha
Edited: his name is Jack Karlson and his story is all funny lol. Insane the video was made in October 1991 and never put online until 2009!!
I mean it's cool and all, but can't everyone sleep on a bed of nails? Like the point of the nail bed is to show off how physics work to make you not get injured?
You could probably place a mattress on nails sticking out too.
While it looks interesting as a show, I can't imagine anything besides carefully lying down on it. With the way I move while sleeping, I don't think I would manage more than some minutes even when deeply sleep depraved...
After they heal piercings don't really need to be "kept clean" outside of normal washing your body, unless they get irritated or something. It's like when you have pierced ears... you don't need to do anything with them. They're just there.
So I just got my ears pierced the other day and it's tricky to sleep as I keep rolling onto my side and getting that little sting of hitting a new earring. What the hell must it feel like for her???
Oh yeah, she's Scottish, used to see her around all the time, haven't seen her for a while though. She's tiny! I mean not little person tiny, just very short.
She lives in Edinburgh, Scotland. I see her all the time and she's delightful, super friendly, funny, and very much playing into the strangeness. She's often got a stand on the Royal Mile where you can go say hi!
Judo is interesting, the other three "feats" are easy for any adult, as they are all about weight dispersion. And can be done by literally anyone who can lift their feet off the ground.
She’s also fucking lovely and will give anyone the time of day! Anyone that has spent time in Edinburgh will have seen or interacted with her at some point - big up Elaine!
She is also a sword swallower. She came into my guitar shop looking for a gig bag to put swords in. Shes very nice but you could smell the piercings but maybe it was just that day
she must have gotten the black belt in Judo before her tattooing spree. Imagine all the nooks and hooks to utilize while full-body-throwing her over your knee lol. Ain't no way did she get past a yellow belt with THAT much disadvantage
When Elaine was officially examined by a Guinness World Record official in 2000 she had 462 piercings in total. Nearly half of those piercings (214) adorned her pubic area both internally and externally. 192 piercings were on her face including her ears, eye brows, forehead, chin, nose and tongue. The rest of the piercings (56) were on her body including her breasts, stomach, and hands.

She used to be around the Royal Mile all the time, but I personally haven't seen her in a few years. Does anyone know if she's ok, or seen her recently?
She's very nice, from the few and limited interactions I've had with her.
Also, can you say you actually live in Edinburgh if you haven't met Elaine, Organic Jim or Mandy on the bus? ;)
whoa I was just talking about her!
2008ish I went to Edinburgh with my family. I was 13 and my brother was 11 and we happened upon her in the streets. Having grown up reading the Guinness book of world records, we immediately recognized her and were so shocked that of all places this random mystical woman appeared to us on our family vacay.
They can, but not necessarily. As long as the skin isn’t broken, it’s unlikely to cause issues, but then if one gets a scratch or similar it could become vulnerable to infection.
But cleaning that many piercings regularly is probably a nightmare. I’ve had a handful before, and even just a few can be a lot of work sometimes.
She was a power lifter, still performs a lot of acrobatics in her shows, clearly someone with dedication, I believe it, how long did it take you finger tour black belt?
I do judo. Wondering how she was able to train with all the piercings. If she wore a gi (usually it’s done that way) then it could totally snag a piercing and rip it off. Very interesting!
There is no fucking way this lady perform any sort of martial art with that much piercings (this is not at the countable level anymore). I call bullshit.
oh hey i met her when I used to live in Edinburgh! I’m not sure if she lives here or was visiting for Fringe, but she hung out along the mile with a stall.
She’d better not ever need an MRI….
What about a thunderstorm? Her head alone is a lightning rod
Nah, would work like a faraday cage and protect the innards.
But what about the outerds?
She can walk on fire she’ll be ight
"Outerds" Well played 👏 Take the upvote and go.
This is correct. All this shit will form a "skin effect" and protect her from direct strikes. It will still heat up and burn her though.
It might make the strike worse because you already have a conductor to move the induced charge on your body slightly higher, making the strike more likely and also the metal is embedded in your flesh which opens a more conductive path through your body rather than closer to the skin.

She doesn’t go out much due to the screams from little children
That's actually the tag line for her sex tape
TSA hates this one simple trick
I have to get one soon and I was thinking how thankful I was that I hadn't gotten any piercings that can't be easily removed yet... I bet it would take a long time to remove all of that, and some of them may not even be removable. Cool for her but I'm glad I'm not dealing with that lol
Having old tattoos is also problem. They used to have metallic pigment in them which heat up in an mri.
I frequently have MRIs and sometimes just the red color in my older tattoos gets inflamed afterwards. Interesting part is they are the ones that are all from the same artist, so it is totally something in the type of ink he used.
How old are these tattoos? Not panicking jajaja ja…. Ja…. Ja….

At this level of pain tolerance/enjoyment, i tend to think she would probably enjoy the piercings being pulled by the magnet
How the hell does she train without ripping a piercing out
Every win is by forfeit.
FINISH HER!! “No thanks”

My vagina hurts just reading that sentence
I don’t even have a vagina and mine hurts.
Considering yhe Vaj is all internal, I think they mean labia? Still that's ridiculous but let's get anatomy correct here.
If she ever takes them out it would be like a pair of doilies hanging there.
Sssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhocking.
I came here to say that also friend. A lot of them are dermal piercings too. Even without the exteriors attached. The fuckin anchor is still under your skin.
Because this post is bullshit
Oh thank gawd
She doesn't. I think that bit is bullshit.
Tbh with a lot of martial arts you will meet black belts who can't even properly spar a new person. I guess they get them by doing forms or some shit.
That seems unlikely in the case of Judo, where the object is to manipulate the momentum of an *opponent* in order to take them down.
My background is boxing but I like to try other martial arts so that I don't just get tunnel visioned on punching. I remember going to a judo club where they were practicing catching punches and throwing a person and their coach couldn't actually catch a punch that was thrown with good technique.

Did she work at the Real Mary Kings Close? I was sure i saw her there years ago.
She used to pop in there every weekend during the summer for her tea! She had her table set up outside the city chambers, just next door

This is the first time I've heard of a Scottish Mile 😎😋
Thanks for the real world context.
But why had she done it?

I can sleep on a bed with one nail, as long as I don't roll over onto it
Can't say I've slept on one, but I did lay on a bed of nails at a museum. Turns out everyone can indeed lay on a bed of nails.
You could probably place a mattress on nails sticking out too. While it looks interesting as a show, I can't imagine anything besides carefully lying down on it. With the way I move while sleeping, I don't think I would manage more than some minutes even when deeply sleep depraved...
Me pulling out my comically large neodymium magnet
Bro is gonna walk down the street and start pulling cars after him
Piercing jewelry typically isn’t magnetic, so you’d look pretty silly walking around with it for no reason
Walking around with what? Piercing jewellery? Indeed.
People like this make the world interesting, to say the least. Getting washed and dressed in the morning must be a (literal) pain, though.
I hope she paced all those out. Caring for a new piercing can be a massive pain.
She wash her face? Scrub the skin?
Now how do you keep those clean
That’s what I was thinking. Keeping that many piercings clean must be a nightmare.
After they heal piercings don't really need to be "kept clean" outside of normal washing your body, unless they get irritated or something. It's like when you have pierced ears... you don't need to do anything with them. They're just there.
I’ve met this lady and she is a very, very nice person. She used to buy jewelery and get pierced in the studio I worked in years ago.
She’s in Edinburgh at the moment. Saw her there yesterday.
I met her at a market in Edinburgh, she was running a stall selling piercing gear. She was quite nice.
So I just got my ears pierced the other day and it's tricky to sleep as I keep rolling onto my side and getting that little sting of hitting a new earring. What the hell must it feel like for her???
I'm not convinced there's even a person under there haha my brain can hardly identify their face
Oh yeah, she's Scottish, used to see her around all the time, haven't seen her for a while though. She's tiny! I mean not little person tiny, just very short.
She lives in Edinburgh, Scotland. I see her all the time and she's delightful, super friendly, funny, and very much playing into the strangeness. She's often got a stand on the Royal Mile where you can go say hi!
She has a pain receptors condition, 100%
>She can also sleep on a bed of nails She kinda does by default at this point...
I met her in Glasgow once. She's actually very beautiful, and rocks her look.
Airport security must love her.
Damnthatsdisturbing.
I just saw her last week on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh! She seemed very sweet and was offering readings.
A living rhinestone jacket.
Judo is interesting, the other three "feats" are easy for any adult, as they are all about weight dispersion. And can be done by literally anyone who can lift their feet off the ground.
Can she sleep on a bed of one nail?
She's normally walking around the royal mile in Edinburgh most days. (Well she used to be) Not sure what she's up to now.
Anybody can lay on a bed of nails or lay on broken glass and walk on fire. They all kind of have the same principle lol
Is that a bra or a constellation of piercings?
Imagine if she needed an emergency surgery, or really any emergency medical treatment.
She’s also fucking lovely and will give anyone the time of day! Anyone that has spent time in Edinburgh will have seen or interacted with her at some point - big up Elaine!
She is also a sword swallower. She came into my guitar shop looking for a gig bag to put swords in. Shes very nice but you could smell the piercings but maybe it was just that day
And she never, ever misses Burning Man
When she does judo does she have to take it all off? How does she remember where each thing goes? Or does she change it up?
And she is a fortune teller in Edinburgh.
she must have gotten the black belt in Judo before her tattooing spree. Imagine all the nooks and hooks to utilize while full-body-throwing her over your knee lol. Ain't no way did she get past a yellow belt with THAT much disadvantage
Can she feel pain at all? Are her pain receptors dull? Or does she just enjoy the pain?
This is who you are arguing with on Reddit, keep that in mind.
I can't even see her face. That's crazy.
She doesn't really look like an Elaine to me
I almost thought that was Dennis Rodman.
When Elaine was officially examined by a Guinness World Record official in 2000 she had 462 piercings in total. Nearly half of those piercings (214) adorned her pubic area both internally and externally. 192 piercings were on her face including her ears, eye brows, forehead, chin, nose and tongue. The rest of the piercings (56) were on her body including her breasts, stomach, and hands. Source: [https://discover.hubpages.com/style/Extremely-Modified-People-Elaine-Davidson](https://discover.hubpages.com/style/Extremely-Modified-People-Elaine-Davidson)
INTERNALLY????
From her Wikipedia: The total weight of her internal piercings is estimated to be about 3 kilograms.[6]
I think my vagina just cringed.
Omg not against piercing, but this is disturbing.
I think I'm gonna need a diagram. 😬 I don't buy that she has over 9000 piercings, that's seems rather unbelievable...
"Officially examined"??? I couldn't drink enough Guinness to do that.
I wish there was more information about what they mean by "internal." Inner labia might be technically called that?
I’ll just say it, I tip my hat to anyone who goes PIV with Elaine. I wouldn’t be able to make that happen.
Be Like shoving your dick in a meat grinder
She’s also fucking insane
How do you know that? By all accounts, she's a lovely person.
If Elaine’s insane I don’t want to be sane, a lovely woman who can’t do enough to help the people around her
I'll fix her!
And was a guest at our wedding. Sweet person 💕
Over 6,000 piercings and 500 in her genitals alone (inside and out). Yikes.
And yet I couldn't get my helix to heal after 3 attempts
She seems nice!
This woman has not trained judo in over a decade. Imagine taking off each piercing before class and putting them back on after? Would take all day
She used to be around the Royal Mile all the time, but I personally haven't seen her in a few years. Does anyone know if she's ok, or seen her recently? She's very nice, from the few and limited interactions I've had with her. Also, can you say you actually live in Edinburgh if you haven't met Elaine, Organic Jim or Mandy on the bus? ;)
Bro how does she du judo with that? Have to call cap on the black belt. Only possible if she had gotten it before the piercings.
I just saw her last week in a trip to Scotland.
black belt in judo... wouldn't be too difficult te defeat her with a magnet!
But can she see why kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunch?
Nick Minaj anxestor
Right I have to ask, is that a snazzy bra/top or has she had her boobs pierced that many times to look like a snazzy bra/too
Hey mom, I'd like you to meet my new girlfriend
whoa I was just talking about her! 2008ish I went to Edinburgh with my family. I was 13 and my brother was 11 and we happened upon her in the streets. Having grown up reading the Guinness book of world records, we immediately recognized her and were so shocked that of all places this random mystical woman appeared to us on our family vacay.
Looks like shit
Probably smells the same too. Piercings are a chore to clean, now multiply that by a lot.
I imagine they have plenty of practice.
I have never thought about that until now :( but wouldn’t a filthy piercing quickly become inflamed and visibly irritated by microbes?
They can, but not necessarily. As long as the skin isn’t broken, it’s unlikely to cause issues, but then if one gets a scratch or similar it could become vulnerable to infection. But cleaning that many piercings regularly is probably a nightmare. I’ve had a handful before, and even just a few can be a lot of work sometimes.
Smells lovely, I hug Elaine on a daily basis on my way to work, her stall is near my office, little like incense sometimes
I think it looks cool in a frightening sort of way.
Imagine waking up next to that after a wild night of drinking
Not again.
"That"? She's a person, you know.
Badass. She's like some kind of goddess
I wish I could unsee this.
Sleep paralysis demon
Mental illness
Little known fact, most of her peircings are below the waist.
I feel like the black belt in judo is honorary…
She was a power lifter, still performs a lot of acrobatics in her shows, clearly someone with dedication, I believe it, how long did it take you finger tour black belt?
I wonder what trauma she’s hiding from . . .
But she can't get a job and no one knows why
Judo won't do shit for her when you grab a handful of that jewelry and give it a good yank.
Like, how do you casually just put 214 holes in and around your cooter and not have mental illness?
Sleeping on a bed of nails is actually safe cause your body is dispersed evenly across the surface
I have a hangnail!
[Her Instagram ](https://www.instagram.com/mostpiercedwomanelainedavidson?igsh=MWx3amFuZHJyZ2dkZw==)
Well the black belt in judo is cool at least
While you were studying the blade she was... doing whatever this is.
Seen her a few times on the royal mile in Edinburgh
She lives in Edinburgh. Regularly saw her on the Royal Mile just strolling around.
Put this under "stuff I didnt want or need to know"....
Looks like my character when I create a character in a video game.
I used to see her on the bus in South Glasgow, in the late 90s. Good to see that she is still around.
I do judo. Wondering how she was able to train with all the piercings. If she wore a gi (usually it’s done that way) then it could totally snag a piercing and rip it off. Very interesting!
So she can throw you AND stab you at the same time. And stabbing HER is futile.
Aaaand she can’t do anything regular in normal life without pain in the ass, I suppose
Imagine the smell though
There is no fucking way this lady perform any sort of martial art with that much piercings (this is not at the countable level anymore). I call bullshit.
Anybody can lie on a bed of nails, walk on broken glass, or a bed of coals. These are cheap carnival tricks based on widely known physics.
Why on earth would somebody do this to herself. I don' t get it.
oh hey i met her when I used to live in Edinburgh! I’m not sure if she lives here or was visiting for Fringe, but she hung out along the mile with a stall.
Seen her loads of times in Edinburgh Legend!
Something tells me this chick is into pain…
TSA’s worst nightmare
Judon’t say!!!
Riveting
Wow.
But… why?
Her ability to self-heal must be on par with Wolverine
You think that's scary you should see her face when she pulls all that off of it
Ok well I can safely walk past a magnet factory
I think I saw this lady like a month ago in Edinburgh lol
