Rolf Buchholz once lived a quiet life in Dortmund, Germany—working in IT, blending into the crowd. But everything changed at 40, when he got his first tattoo. One led to another, and soon, body modification became his passion.
Today, Rolf holds the Guinness World Record with over 560 body mods—170+ facial piercings, a split tongue, horn implants, and tattoos nearly head to toe. But for Rolf, it’s not about shock value or records. It’s art. A way to express who he really is.
Despite his extreme appearance, Rolf is calm, kind, and soft-spoken. While some admire his boldness, others react with fear—like in 2014, when Dubai officials denied him entry, citing “black magic.”
Now, he travels the world, meets fans, and continues to challenge society’s ideas of beauty and identity.
