Known to his TikTok followers as “Jason Big Nose,” Jason Shoultz has officially been recognized by Guinness World Records for the largest nasallang flesh tunnel. With a remarkable diameter of 2.15 cm (0.84 in), the piercing is large enough for him to comfortably pass his finger through.
A nasallang piercing is a rare and complex modification that passes through both nostrils and the nasal septum with a single piece of jewelry. Shoultz, who is the vice president of a car audio company, has slowly stretched his piercing over the course of 15 years. He said the journey was inspired by his desire “to see how far I could go” and a fascination with body modification culture since he was a child.
Shoultz’s record-breaking feat, verified on January 26, 2024, is the result of immense patience and dedication. He told Guinness World Records that the amount of work it took to achieve his goal is a constant reminder that with a bit of patience, one can achieve a lot.
The Indiana native is no stranger to unique body art, with a split tongue, a stretched labret, a heart-shaped subdermal hand implant, and extensive tattoos. While he receives daily reactions from the public, he says they are “generally quite positive,” and he is always open to talking about his modifications.
Shoultz joins the ranks of other body modification record holders, including the man with the world’s largest nasal septum flesh tunnel. His unique record is a testament to the diverse and extreme forms of human self-expression.
