Body Artist Resembles A Zombie As He Creates Giant Flesh Tunnels In His Cheeks

#1 Joel Miggler, 23, from Küssaberg, Germany is an extreme body artist, and alternative model.

#2 He was called Bodymoded Punky for he has undergone some extensive body modifications.

#3 And one of the most extreme are the Holes in his cheeks, which he can stick his split tongue out or blow smoke through them.

#4 Though these holes didn’t affect his daily life, the only downside is, he must take smaller bites of food when eating.

#5 Joel Miggler was 13 when he began experimenting and altering his body.

#6 I know piercing is an art, an extreme art for me. But for Joel Miggler it’s just like a play time.

#7 Luckily, his mother is very supportive of his decision to change his body, but he does admit that she is not too fond of his cheek tunnels.

#8 It also seems that having huge holes in your cheeks doesn't create any problems

when it comes to his love life and has been dating an artist and body piercer for over six months.

#9 The public's response to Joel's bizarre modifications seems to be pleasant overall,

apart from a wave of negative response from the online community and social media channels, people either simply stare at him or occasionally stop him to ask questions.

#10 He said:

When I walk around on the street, people only stare or sometimes ask me questions if they are interested in my jewellery.

#11 It is only on social networks that they mostly discriminate and offend me.

My mother likes most of my modifications and she has supported my decision to look the way I do but she doesn't think the more extreme things, like my cheeks, are very beautiful.

#12 There is not one person or one thing that inspired me, I just enjoy playing with my body and blood.

Having my cheeks pierced was not really painful, there was a local anesthetic involved in the procedure.

'My cheeks are currently 36 millimetre wide in diameter but my goal is to stretch them to 40 millimetres.'
