YOU might get your hair coloured or buy a new outfit for a special occasion – but how about getting piercings all the way down your back? Or you could accessorise your look with body piercings down either side of a leg, laced together with ribbon or chain.
For most people, getting something pierced is a big decision and, even if it’s not intended to be permanent, the expectation is that it will at least be there for a while.
But with the growth of interest in piercing and body modification, more and more people are having temporary corset piercings as part of their outfit for a big event.

Corset piercing is often done down the back and laced together, imitating a traditional corset but, explains Laura Hunt, who owns Dragstrip Tattoo and Piercing Studio in Bitterne: “Wherever you can pinch the skin you can do it.”
Other areas of the body where people may have corset piercing are down either side of the ribs, arms, the back of the legs or, in the case of Ant Evans, who went under Laura’s piercing needle, the front of your neck.
Deliberately wounding yourself in the name of fashion – and for a temporary effect at that – may sound bizarre to the uninitiated, but Laura says that for those in the tattooing and piercing business it’s pretty run of the mill.

“For people in the industry it’s a standard thing – it’s just a surface piercing – but for everyday people I imagine it’s seen as extreme.”
More unusual body modifications include placing silicone under the skin to create raised effects, branding, scarring and even transdermal implants, which leave spikes protruding through the skin with attachments such as spikes or horns added.
Although corset piercing is relatively tame, Laura says people often struggle to find a piercer to do the work, and her customers often find her via forums.

“Some people said it was cool and other people were shocked. A woman in a queue behind me turned her back completely so she couldn’t see it.
Judith says that while it was painful having the 12 piercings done – “it made my toes curl a bit” – and could be uncomfortable, she would definitely have it done again.
“I’m thinking about having dermal piercings done in my back rather than surface piercings because they’re more permanent. I’d like it for the summer.

I’ve got a couple of festivals I’m going to and you get your skin out so I’m thinking about it. It looks pretty – well, I think it looks pretty.
“I did miss my corset when I had it taken out. I like how it looks and the effect it has – people’s reactions. It’s quite interesting.”
Ant says he’s keen to get another, more complicated corset piercing, and is on the look-out for a suitable event to have it done for.

“If I get a new piercing or tattoo, it’s like someone else getting a new haircut. It’s just a way of changing the way you look and improving yourself, in your eyes.”
It is important that we continue to promote these adverts as our local businesses need as much support as possible during these challenging times.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.
