Japanese model and body modification enthusiast Nero Daikokudo has officially entered the Guinness World Records for achieving the largest conch flesh tunnel (male), stretching the cartilage of his ears to a jaw-dropping 3.8 cm (1.5 inches) in diameter.
The conch is the central part of the ear, and modifying it requires extreme precision, commitment, and years of gradual stretching. Nero’s transformation has drawn global attention for pushing the boundaries of body art while maintaining aesthetic symmetry.
Nero, known in Japan’s alt-fashion and body mod community for his striking appearance, shared his excitement upon receiving the recognition:
“This is more than just a record for me — it’s a form of self-expression and art. I’m proud that my dedication to body modification has inspired people around the world.”
Experts note that stretching cartilage, especially in the conch area, is a complex process that involves months — sometimes years — of healing and resizing. Achieving such a wide and even stretch without complications is both rare and risky.
This unique achievement not only celebrates Nero’s personal passion but also highlights the growing global acceptance of extreme body art as a form of identity and individuality.
From the heart of Tokyo to the pages of world records, Nero Daikokudo is making a bold statement — one ear at a time.
