Piercing Marathon Sets Record
Um. But why would you want to?
A man has had 1,015 metal rings skewered through his body in a non-stop piercing session  all without anaesthetic. Kam Ma, 32, above, a hairdresser from Seaburn, Sunderland, broke his own world record of 600 piercings, which had stood since May 2002, with the help of Charlie Wilson, a professional piercer.
The pair had been aiming for 3,000 piercings, but Mr Ma went into shock after almost nine hours. Mr Wilson, 45, said: “The average man in the street would probably only be able to stand about ten minutes before they ran off. At one point I pierced him 165 times in an hour. That’s almost three a minute. I find it very easy.†Mr Ma said: “When the rings are all in it feels as if I’m wearing body armour .â€Â
Ouch.
