Its certainly not for the squeamish but volunteers in Croatia have been testing their body's pain threshold through an extreme new form of body piercing. On the rooftop of an empty building in Zagreb, Dino Helvida carefully pierces his client Kaitlin's torso, legs and face before putting hooks through her skin.
Once Kaitlin is ready, he suspends her from a metallic frame, leaving her heavily tattooed body dangling horizontally in the air. Shocking: Its certainly not for the squeamish but volunteers in Croatia have been testing their body's pain threshold through an extreme new form of body piercing.
Helvida, 27, is a professional piercer and body suspension expert from Bosnia Herzegovina, who for the last six years has been hanging up the bodies of those brave enough to partake in what is an extreme form of body piercing, sometimes for hours.
The process is carefully done, and in this case Helvida works with his girlfriend Zorana. It involves first piercing the skin with needles, putting through metallic hooks, which are then attached to a thin rope to lift the suspendee off the ground.
You have different hooks for different positions and different hooks for different body parts,' Helvida told Reuters. It took Helvida around an hour to prepare Kaitlin, visiting Zagreb from the United States, for suspension. Prepared: Helvida, 27, is a professional piercer and body suspension expert from Bosnia Herzegovina.
