I believe so as well. To have grown so long as to puncture the guy's hand the nails must have been very long. However, the description failed to mention that the nails had to be in single pieces. I tried to find something to that description, but came up with nothing. The closest I could find were pictures with the nails still attached to the hand, which violates the creators description.

Yeah, its a religious rite. They keep one arm raised in the air for years at a time and don't trim their nails. Some may say that it's an odd way to express their devotion to their faith, but other religions have odd sounding practices too.
