Textiles- corset piercing

Corset Piercings


I felt these sorts of piercings tied in with my 'stitched skin/wound' idea, as they still tugged at the skin, alien material combining with skin causing contrast.


becoming a newer 'craze' corset piercings hadnt really been established till the late 1990's from the growth of the body piercing industry.

wiki- 'corset piercing is a piercing that is pierced multiple times mostly side to side to look like a corset being laced up the body. Two rows of bilaterally symmetrical piercings are performed and can be composed of as few as four piercings (two in each row)'

Yes it still looks very painful, the good news is you can have it temporary or permanent! temporary is usually used in such cases as for a photo shoot, to promote a piercers business or even for a fetish. Permanent is basically that, corset piercings take a long time to heal, so it is quite easy to keep opening the wounds or not taking out the piercing (though it would be uncomfortable to keep it in all the time) until the wounds have completely healed as adjusted skin holes.

they have the same risks as any sort of piercing to get infections or problems down the line.
