A body modification addict, whose appearance scares children, now wants to achieve the world’s largest nostrils.
Over the years, Jessy Kirkpatrick has altered her body in many ways.
The 28-year-old has had three large facial tattoos, seven body modifications to her earlobes, tongue, labret, septum and nostrils, as well as 27 piercings.

Her new aim? To make her nostrils as big as possible.
“I was speaking to a friend one day when I came up with the idea,” Jessy, a content creator from Kansas, US, told What’s The Jam.
“I wanted a new challenge, so I made a Facebook post telling everyone what my next venture would be.
“I want to be the world record holder of the largest nostrils.”
The Guinness World Record for the longest nose is held by the late Mehmet Özyürek, who died last year at the age of 75.

His nose was 3.46 inches (8.8cm) long.
Currently, there is no record for the largest nostrils, but Jessy wants to get hers as big as possible before entering herself for the win.
Currently, she is at 27mm.

She said: “I’ve had a lot of congratulations and funny memes sent my way.
“Most from my friends of course but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
“My nostrils are currently 27mm, my septum went up to 12mm and I even sized up my nose bridge piercing.
“It’s my passion.
“Sometimes all it takes is something small to keep someone going.
“Passion can save people, passion can give people a purpose and it gives them something to strive for when no one else believes in them.”
However, her appearance has also been met with judgemental reactions in the past as not everyone appreciates her dedication to body modifications.
She said: “I’ve had children run away from me crying.
“But reactions always vary.
“Sometimes someone will say something completely unhinged that I’ve never heard before, rather it be rude or funny, and I just laugh.
“It gets boring hearing the same insults over and over again.
“But it is a free country, everyone is entitled to their own options and feelings.
“The only problem I have is when someone tries to take my freedom of speech away based on their biases or opinions.
“Essentially trying to force me to believe what they do.
“That’s where I call the line.
“If they want to berate me or insult me, or laugh at me; [more] power to them.”
So far, Jessy has spent $15,000 (£11,350) on her look.
She said: “I also have 27 piercings.
“Most of my them are around my lips but I also have two industrial piercings, a tongue piercing, nose bridge piercing and nipple piercings.
“I have a new labret body modification.
“That’s the middle jewellery piece right under my lip.
“I recently stretched it up a size or two, and I plan on getting it up to 15-16mm to start.
“Then I go from there.
“My earlobes are getting back up to 76mm, where I am currently at 70mm now, and I am also going towards the world record on the largest earlobes in the world.”
And as much as some haters may try to convince her otherwise, she doesn’t plan on stopping anytime soon.
She added: “Once I stopped trying to please everyone and once I started not caring what others thought – that’s when I thrived.
“I felt beautiful again, I felt whole and free.”
Jessy plans to continue stretching her nostrils to get them as big as possible before entering the Guinness World Records next year.
