Burlesque shows, fetish clubs, body modification conventions, suspension performances, and sometimes even sideshows—are all places where you might encounter someone with a corset piercing.
In simplest terms, a corset piercing is two parallel rows of piercings through which a ribbon is laced through. One popular style is to have the shape mimic that of an actual corset that women would wear. However, corset piercings can be done on any gender.
However, you don’t see many people walking around outside of the places listed above with corset piercings. This is because they’re usually done temporarily for photoshoots and performances.

Traditionally, corset piercings were performed as surface piercings where either D rings or captive bead rings were used as jewelry. These surface piercings were meant to be temporary because it’s very difficult to heal them.
Once you’ve decided on your placement and selected the jewelry you want to use, your piercer will take you back into a sterile space. They will thoroughly cleanse the area you’re getting pierced and then carefully measure and mark where each piercing will go, making sure the piercings are symmetrical and that it’s safe to pierce in a certain spot.
Next, they will use either hypothermic needles (if you’re doing this as fetish play or for an event, they create the least amount of scaring), hollow needles, or a dermal punch to create each individual piercing. Your piercer will insert jewelry after each piercing.

Each person is different and everyone has a different pain tolerance. However, a few things will affect the pain of a corset piercing:
When it comes down to it, corset piercings are never intended to be permanent. They’re usually done and worn for special occasions, performances, fetish play, conventions, or photoshoots and immediately retired. If you get one done with dermal anchors, there is the possibility that they will reject or migrate.
In general, a corset piercing will take at minimum 2 months to heal, and this is with daily aftercare and careful monitoring of each piercing. One of the reasons it’s so difficult to say how long this piercing takes to heal is because each individual piercing could heal at different times. It depends on how much movement or friction it’s exposed to as well as how well the aftercare is kept up.
How Long Do Piercings Take To Heal?
When you get a corset piercing, you’re going to want to make sure that your sheets and clothes are all freshly clean to avoid getting any bacteria into the area. You’re also going to want to avoid sleeping or putting any direct pressure on the area.
You’ll want to make sure that you’re showering every day; don’t take a bath. Dirty bath water could lead to an infection if bacteria get into a healing piercing. The same goes for any public body of water—you’ll want to avoid the beach, pools, hot tubs, saunas, etc. to avoid the spread of any bacteria.
To clean your corset piercing, you’ll want to buy some NeilMed Aftercare Spray and apply it on each piercing twice a day. Never touch your piercings, especially to rotate or twist them. If you ever have to touch your piercings, you’ll need to wash your hands with antibacterial soap first.

You’ll also never want to tape down the piercings, use ointment of any sort, or apply any harsh chemicals, such as Bactine, Neosporin, hydrogen peroxide, or rubbing alcohol on them while they’re healing.
Corset piercings are great for temporary body modifications. Yet, you’ll rarely see someone who has had one for a very long time. Still, they’re fun and can be really exciting or sexy. Make sure you do your research for an experienced piercer before you go get one.Corset piercings have long been on the radar just on the outskirts of body piercing. These beautiful and often ornate projects can be done in several places on the body, in almost limitless configurations and accessorized in any number of ways. While the most popular option is two rows of the piercings down the back (often specifically the lower back, hence the name), they have been seen popping up on forearms, the calf and even around the neck or throat!
Though these piercings are traditionally done as a surface piercing utilizing a captive bead ring (CBR) or a D-ring, more often we are seeing these performed as micro-dermal to provide additional much sought after longevity for this modification.

Pain level will obviously depend on a number of factors, including but not limited to; surface piercings vs dermal, placement on the body (clearly it stands to reason that your back will be less painful than your throat, but probably more intense than your arm or calf), your personal pain tolerance and of course your individual artist’s technique and experience.
Though these piercings are traditionally done as a surface piercing utilizing a captive bead ring (CBR) or a D-ring, more often we are seeing these performed as microdermals to provide additional much sought after longevity for this modification.
For the procedure, your artist will thoroughly cleanse the area with their chosen cleansing agent, then set to mark the area. During this time (which can be considerable), they will feel the tissue to understand the anatomical ramifications of placing a piercing there and often will also measure marks to ensure symmetry and proper placement.

It is not uncommon with ANY piercing to have to mark and remark a time or two, so be patient with your artist. It was not a rushed or half-hearted blueprint that leads to the Empire State Building. Once your marks are set, the piercer will select the appropriate jewelry and needles to begin the work.
Most often, these will be freehand piercings – meaning no clamps. However, several other tools may be helpful depending on the jewelry selected. Feel free to ask your artist what various tools do or how they will be used if you are wondering!
As always – if the tools are already out of their sterile pouches before you watch them open the package, request (read: demand) fresh tools still inside of their intact packaging or find a new shop.

The same rule applies to needles and jewelry – ultimately, you can never be too careful in this department. Bloodborne pathogen cross-contamination is no joke, and you deserve an artist that takes your health as seriously as you do.
Corset piercings are essentially never meant to be a permanent modification. Historically, these are done for a photoshoot, a convention or some special occasion, such as a wedding, prom or just an exciting night out.
Many of them done as surface piercings are performed, shown off, photographed, fawned over and removed all over a weekend. Those were done with microdermals with the appropriate jewelry to allow the threading of ribbons or lace to have greater healing potential and can be worn for months or in some cases even years.

In either event, proper aftercare should be observed not only during wearing and healing but also immediately following removal to limit the risk of infection.
Most piercers will recommend standard aftercare including saline rinses. Ideally, these piercings (being done as surface piercings or as microdermals) will reap the most benefit from two daily soaks. Because of the location of most corset piercings, clean bedding and clothing are an absolute must for proper healing (during AND after wear).
For this type of piercing, you will most likely need to designate an aftercare buddy who can help you soak the area, and check the general area for proper response to aftercare and any signs of irritation or infection. As with any modification – when in doubt, contact your artist as soon as possible for reassurance or advice.

In most cases, these will leave some type of scar tissue. That said, proper procedure and aftercare (even if they are only in for a few days) can limit a lot of the visual scarring. Additionally, post-healing; various agents such as Vitamin E oil or Tea Tree Oil can be applied to the area to calm down the tissue, further concealing some scarring.
While a well-done procedure can start you limiting the appearances of scarring, a lot of this depends on your care of the area, as with all wounds. Your artist should discuss all of the procedures, risks, and care of any modification they are doing for you.
