(Photo) Man With 2,009 Needles On His Face Breaks Guinness Book Of Records Title

Wei Shengchu

The most needles on the head is 2,009 and was achieved by Wei Shengchu, a native of China on the set of Lo Show dei Record in Milan, Italy on April 11, 2009.

Wei's passion for self-acupuncture stems from a 2002 newspaper clipping which reported that a Canadian had a Guinness World Record for inserting 420 needles into his arms.

"It's not much compared to our centuries-old acupuncture," thought Wei, who began experimenting with inserting needles into his body. Wei finally achieved his Guinness World Record for self-acupuncture when he inserted 2,009 needles into his face
