John Lynch Guinness World Records said a 78-year-old British man with 241 piercings on his body has been certified as a world record holder.

John Lynch of Apsely, England, is listed as having more piercings than anyone else in the world in the 2010 Guinness Book of World Records, The Daily Telegraph reported Monday.

Lynch, a retired bank manager, said he got his first piercing in his 40s upon leaving the bank and followed it up with hundreds of piercings and tattoos.

"I never thought about breaking the record. I've always just done it because I like it but it is quite an achievement," he said. "I was actually a few short so had 20 or so popped into my arms to up the numbers and if somebody beats me I could always find space for a few more."
