Corset Piercing

October 4th 2008 16:52
One of the more popular surface piercing is the corset piercing which is essentially a series of surface piercings that give the appearance of the hooks of a corset. The corset piercing is a temporary piercing, especially since 97% of piercers who have ever performed a corset piercing have done it wrong.

Most of the people who get a corset piercing want to put lace through the piercing so th create the full corset appearance. Well, this is why it's typically always done wrong. The piercer will generally use CBRs, which is by far the worse piece of jewelry that can be used in a surface piercing. Then the lace is strung through the jewelry right after piercing, which again is bad because it irritates the already irritated tissues.


I just think it's so funny when people think that surface piercings are permanent. They go in and spend a good bit of money, and in a month or so find they have to remove all the jewelry.

If you go in knowing that the piercing will be temporary then there's no reason why you can't use the CBRs and go out to your event or take your picture and then remove the jewelry, but never expect a surface piercing done with CBRs to be permanent.

If you want your corset piercing to be near permanent, you will want to make sure that the piercer uses surface barbells with a slave ending so that when healed, you can lace the jewelry.

Another tip if you are really trying to make the piercing permanent, is to get just one or two sets done at a time. If you go in and get say 8 to 12 sets of piercings at once, the likelihood of healing is slim because you're putting a great deal of stress on your body and tissues all at once.

Most corset piercings are don on the person's back, but I have seen them on sides and arms, as well.

You'll just have to ask around. It's not necessarily finding a person to do it, but a person with proper experience. Most piercer will actually do it, but whether they really know what they're doing is different.

hey I have a question... can you explain the difference of the correct and incorrect? because what I see looks like microdermal or transdermal implants with the rings attached or screwed on a few of the piercings ends while the others are flat. I'll try to check back on this page for a reply...

thank you!

Gotcha... Just remember piercers don't make that much money when you're charging $35 a basic piercing and the shop gets (typically) 20% of that. Unless you just pay a chair fee a month and you get the whole thing. Depends on the shop how fees work, but most piercers don't make a living off of piercing alone, especially just starting out. You have to make a good reputation out of yourself and get a good clientele before you can make decent money. My ex used to be a piercer but he never made enough to support himself, so he had to get another job and eventually stop piercing. It was enough cash each week for spare cash, but never enough to pay bills, and we're in a military town that does WONDERFUL with tattoo sales. You're young, consider all options and all career paths before settling on piercing.

No, a corset piercing, no matter where the location is not going to be permanent. It is a temporary piercing. Surface piercings have a 99% rejection rate, and a corset piercing is just a series of surface piercings. The last picture is using surface barbells versus CBR's.

Because it's pierced with CBR's and not surface barbells or tygon. If you have any hope to heal and keep a surface piercing, you're best bet is to use surface barbells or tygon; although the rejection rate is still very high.
