Spectators watch as Viktor Liu is suspended from hooks pierced through his skin by professional body artist Wei Yilaien at a bar in Shanghai, China on September 16, 2018. Liu said his first experience hanging from hooks thrust into his skin was three years ago. It was a hasty decision made on a night when Liu was drunk, he said, but he now takes up the challenge once a year. “The process is very calming, as if I had separated from the world and entered a different space altogether which was wonderful and unreal”, Liu said. However, he admitted it comes with a price. “After the suspension, it felt painful. Very painful”, Liu said. (Photo by Aly Song/Reuters)
