What is corset piercing?

Corset piercing is a type of body modification that involves creating a series of piercings down the back in a pattern resembling the laces of a corset. Typically, two parallel rows of surface piercings are placed on either side of the spine, usually starting at the top of the back and extending down to the lower back or even the buttocks.

Corset piercings are usually done in pairs to create the appearance of lacing, and can be done with either captive bead rings or surface bars. The jewelry is then laced together with ribbon or chain to mimic the look of a traditional corset.

While corset piercings can be visually striking and aesthetically pleasing, they can be quite painful to get and may require a longer healing time compared to other types of piercings. It is also important to take extra care when cleaning and caring for corset piercings to prevent infection and ensure proper healing.

Because corset piercings are considered to be a temporary form of body modification, they are often done for special occasions or events, such as photoshoots, performances, or fashion shows. It is recommended to consult with a professional piercer who has experience with corset piercings to ensure the procedure is done safely and properly.
