A Chinese man has pierced his head with 2008 needles to commemorate the forthcoming Olympic Games in Beijing.
Dr Wei piercing his head
In a bizarre publicity stunt, Dr Wei Shengchu pierced the decorative needles in his head, face, hands and chest in the five colours of the Olympic rings.
The picture of Dr Wei’s was taken in Nanning, Southern China, and demonstrates the patriotic fervour among the Chinese people in the build up to September’s Games.
Dr Wei’s latest stunt was not the first time he had gained notoriety for sticking pins in his body…
In 2004 he secured a Guinness World Record after piercing 1790 needles into his head. [Telegraph, via Asianoffbeat]
