More Needles!: Man Attempts to Break Piercing Record
Tue, June 29, 2010 
Aryan Hopkins made an attempt at the Guinness World Record for most piercings in one session and the most piercings ever. The previous record for most piercing in one sitting was 900. Aryan ended up beating that with a new world record of 1,093 needles. He fell short of the most piercings ever and missed his personal goal. Remember kids, it's important to set lofty achievements like this for yourself.
They wanted 2,000, but stopped piercing when Aryan Hopkins' body began to show signs of shock. They fell short of the overall record of 1,200 piercings, set in 2009, which used 16-gauge needles, which are larger than 18-gauge. It doesn't exactly hurt, Hopkins said. It feels extremely weird.
The event also raised money for the Shriners Hospital for Children, which means it wasn't a completely worthless act.
