OK, this is different, but very, very cool. CORSET PIERCING: A corset piercing is basically a series of surface piercings done to emulate the appearance of the lacing on the back of a corset. Two rows of bilaterally symmetrical piercings are performed and can be composed of as few as four piercings (two in each row) or as many as the length of the area being pierced (usually the back) and the vertical space between piercings will allow space for. Due to the difficulty and risks associated with permanently healing single surface piercings, most corset piercings are intended to be temporary in nature. Temporary piercings are often performed for aesthetic reasons, often as part of a fetish event or photo shoot. A body piercer may also perform a corset piercing to promote his or her business, to be photographed for a portfolio or to be used for advertising purposes. They may also be performed as play piercings as part of BDSM activity. Often temporary piercings are worn laced with ribbon, rope, or chain. Usually temporary corset piercings use captive bead rings as jewelry, but corset piercings intented as play piercings or as part of a short photo shoot might simply be done with hypodermic needles, which will be removed after the activity is finished. Rarely worn for more than a week, corset piercings may be worn only for a few hours, until the event or activity they were performed for has ended. Temporary corset piercings are open wounds, and are subject to the same infection, cross contamination, and irritation risks as any other healing piercing or small wound.

Risks associated with corset piercing

Corset Piercing is an invasive procedure and is not without risks. When properly performed, these risks can be minimized, and most individuals who receive their corset piercing from a professional will enjoy a safe and healthy experience.
