CHINESE acupuncturist stuck 205 needles into his face, head and body to celebrate Beijing hosting the Olympic games.
Wei Shengchu, attached flags to each needle to represent all the countries participating in the games.
He said: “We are used to seeing people with flags painted on their faces so I thought, why not just put them into your head?”
The self-taught doctor of traditional Chinese medicine inserted the needles one-by-one while spectators took photos and looked on in wonder.
