Back Corset Piercings

          One of the newest kind of piercings. However picture's can be misleading. This look is created by having as few as four piercings, (two in each row) or as many as the individual wants or has room for, and then running a ribbon through them to create a pattern down the skin. Since there are many risks to having this piercing it is usually done as a temporary job for a special event. Like a photo shoot, advertising campaign, or a play.
         When done temporarily, usually captive bead rings are used as the jewelry, but it can also be done with hypodermic needles which can simply be removed after the event.

       When done as a permanent thing, surface bars have had the best results. However, it is highly unlikely that every surface piercing will heal correctly. Normal daily actions are a big threat to the healing piercings which makes it a lot of work for the wearer to take care of them. Also, just like any other surface piercing, rejected or unhealed corset piercings can leave permanent scarring.

      One big thing for corset piercings too are the fact that most pictures of them show them laced and freshly pierced which can mislead the viewers to thinking they can be laced at all times, which isn't the case, even for a well healed permanent corset piercing. Also in advertising they can airbrush the pictures to hide redness, swelling, or irritation. 
      As you can imagine, this kind of piercing was created to resemble olden day actual corsets and be seductive. While I was researching this I found several artistic pictures done of the corset piercings. I would of posted some on the blog, however they were taken to show off the beauty of the natural (naked) body, so decided against it. My point though, is that even though this is a very erotic and strange kind of piercing it's also been accepted as being artistic and creative.
