Corset Piercings

If you have any stunning pictures of corset piercings, the subsequent description will seem familiar to you - a back (almost always a woman...come to think of it, I've never seen a male back with Corset Piercings) with rows of piercings straddling the spine, the piercings are evenly spaced to imitate corset eyelets, and the piercings are either surface bars, rings, or rings with string criss-crossing through them, resulting in a corset appearance.

I'm sorry to do this, but corset piercings, as the general public understands them, are a gross misconception. It is simply not possible for someone to get their back pierced for any length of time. The pictures you see are usually photoshopped (to eliminate the swelling and redness) and give no indication that the corset was put into place solely for the photograph. People are very mislead by these photographs. People who get Corset Piercings HAVE to remove their piercings promptly - this is not a piercing that can remain in the body for any length of time.

The back is too active - there are too many muscles constantly in motion - for any of the corset piercings to stand a chance at becoming long term. Most piercers take pictures of corset piercings to add to their portfolio, many photographers arrange for their models to have corset piercings specifically for a photo shoot, and many people in fetish and BDSM circles get corset piercings for a temporary amount of time. Corset piercings with string connecting them all are particularly only for short term purposes, because the string pulls the skin taunt and thus makes healing impossible. If left in too long, the piercings will be rejected, they will migrate, and they will leave scarring.
