This was the astonishing sight as the world’s most pierced woman got married in Britain yesterday – to a balding retired civil servant.
Elaine Davidson has an eye-watering 6,925 piercings covering her body – including 500 studs in her genitalia.
Brazilian-born Elaine, 46, got hitched to her older lover Douglas Watson, who is aged in his 60s, at a low-key wedding reception in Edinburgh yesterday.
She made a bizarre sight in a flowing white wedding gown and floral tiara with only her face visible – which was painted green and covered in 192 piercings.
Meanwhile, the conservatively-dressed groom wore a simple navy suit on top of a sky-blue shirt and Marks and Spencer tie.
Bespectacled Douglas clutched his bride’s hand as they walked out of the central Register Office in front of stunned onlookers.
One witness said: ”It was the strangest thing I’ve ever seen.
”Here was an older gent holding hands with some kind of sea monster dressed in a bridal gown. It was bizarre.”
The couple posed for photographs before heading off for a reception at the trendy City Cafe.
One of the guests, Gavin, who runs a comic shop near Elaine’s aromatherapy shop in the city, said: ”Elaine came in and invited me to her wedding reception.
”She looked incredibly happy and in love. We don’t know too much about her groom but he’ll have his hands full with her.”
Speaking after the wedding ceremony, Douglas – who has no piercings or tattoos – said: ”Elaine looked astonishing today. People see the piercings but I see the amazing personality underneath.
”We have known each other for a long time. We met in a coffee shop in Glasgow 15 years ago and got chatting.
”We connected straight away and have been together ever since.
”I am always amazed by the effect her piercings have on people. She’s an incredible woman.
”People think its unconventional but that is the woman she is and people love her for it.”
Douglas and Elaine live in Edinburgh, she she runs an aromatherapy shop called Tropical Rainbow.
She said: ”If he [Douglas] did not like tattoos and piercings he would not be the one for me. I feel very happy.”
A pal said: ”She’s an amazingly kind woman, she divides opinion in the city, she’s not your typical Edinburgh housewife.
”She looked amazing. She and Douglas may look like they come from different worlds but they are soul mates.”
wow. neat.
why?
Oh, I duno, I didn’t just see a woman with nearly 7000 body piercings…
What does that have to do with you? Surely you don’t think that they’ll drug you and you’ll wake up with all those piercing.
her hygiene must be non-existant, hope the guy likes crabs…
I’d bet her hygiene is pretty good, to have 7000 piercings and not be a walking staph boil.
ditto, to the comment above. I have a friend who has 10 piercings, and she’s always complaining how hard it is to not get infected. She must have a routine of cleaning each one. I wonder what she looks like without the piercings/ paint on her face.
ditto to below I mean, ‘guest’.
Throw her in the deep end to see if she floats !!!!
Scared now…. I’m put off getting my ears pierced now…
what ever floats your boat
She’s got an anchor or 500 in her boat.
there is no room for 500 studs on anyone’s genitalia …
Maybe Douglas is really well hung, and made room.
well the mind boggles with 500 piercings!!!!
I want to hire her to sand and refinish my hardwood floor with her face.
at least you didn’t say with with genitalia 😉
just when you think you’ve seen it all…God would have put all those holes in our bodies if he wanted them there ….not to be a hypocrite because I have ears pierced once tried twice , and belly button..but had to have small incision surgery and didn’t want to rish infection…who am I to judge they are happy so be it..
God gave humans a free will…do whatever they want…thats her way of using God’s gift
Krazy idiot
disgusting women in the world that i have ever seen.
