This man has over 560 piercings on his body, which earned him a world record
In addition to the piercings, he has horn-shaped implants in his forehead and his body is almost entirely covered in tattoos
But the most fascinating part is that he used to be a regular office worker, and he got his first piercing at the age of 40
How this man looked before all these
He was on his way back from checking a weather sensor, the snow crunching under his boots, when he saw a small flicker of white against the ice. It wasn’t a snowdrift. It was a tiny Arctic fox, curled into a tight ball, its body shivering violently.
He knelt. The fox was so weak it couldn’t even lift its head. It was a juvenile, starving, and its ribs stuck out like a tiny cage. Aris knew the cold, hard truth: this is how nature works. The weak don’t survive. His training told him to walk away.
He stood there for a full minute, the wind whipping his face. He thought of the data, the rules, the ethics. Then he looked at the tiny, dying creature. “To hell with the rules,” he muttered.
He gently scooped the fox up. It was terrifyingly light. Back at his camp’s tent, he wrapped the fox in a thermal blanket and put it in his lap. He opened one of his own ration cans—a thick stew. He didn’t know if it would even eat.
