Man with 453 Piercings, Horns Sent Back From Dubai Airport

Rolf Buchholz had planned on making a guest appearance at a club in Dubai which was hosting an event featuring the world's "strangest people", but after shocking travelers and workers at the airport, he was prevented from entering the UAE and was instead placed on a flight back to Turkey.

Mr. Buchholz has quite a few holes in his body - 453 to be exact and has also had surgery in order to have 2 horns implanted near his temples.

He's alleging that he was stopped by customs officials and prevented from leaving the airport "due to suspicions of 'black magic' stemming from his many piercings."

Can we all please make an effort to keep this discussion both PG-13 and on-topic so that this thread isn't bounced into OMNI?

Rolf could have avoided the aggravation had he read the description of the gathering a little more carefully...it was for the world's "strongest" people.

His group will most likely be meeting in my home town some time soon...I'm sure he will be very welcome here in Portland where he will fit right in. Expecting a horn implant trend to get traction soon. Well played, Rolf.

Seriously the things people do to themselves to be different, unique, more to their own body truth belief is amazing. I bet the Dubai immigration was shocked when they saw him and thought Satan was coming for a visit or a jin.

I once saw a a person who had what looked something like those kind of "horns". Apparently some kind of natural scalp cysts. It wasn't at HEL, but the passenger may have come into JFK from HEL.
