The world’s most pierced man, Rolf Buchholz, has been denied entry into Dubai after he was due to make an appearance at a hotel nightclub.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The 53-year-old German has 453 piercings on his body and face, as well as two horn implants on his forehead.<\/p>\n

Mr Buchholz told the BBC that airport staff said they feared he may be practising “black magic”.<\/p>\n

The computer expert was recognised by the Guinness Book of Records in 2012 as the world’s most pierced man.<\/p>\n

Mr Buchholz told the Associated Press news agency that he was initially allowed through immigration, but was later stopped prior to customs and put on a flight to Istanbul.<\/p>\n

As a result, his scheduled appearance at the Cirque le Soir nightclub in Dubai’s Fairmont Hotel on Friday was cancelled.<\/p>\n

The club said in a statement on Sunday that it had done its best to get Mr Buchholz into the country but their efforts were unsuccessful.<\/p>\n

Posting on Twitter after the incident, Mr Buchholz vowed never to return to Dubai again.<\/p>\n

He said his luggage was still lost in Dubai.<\/p>\n

Police and officials in Dubai have yet to comment on the incident.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
