Corset Piercings


Question Posted Sunday April 20 2008, 2:16 pm

Ok, so I want a small "corset piercing," except, i want five on my stomach, that way, when laced, its a star. anywho, they aren't really permanent, so i want to get it for a special occasion. i don't want it to look too red or anything either, so when's the best time to get it? like, the day of the occasion, the day before, right before or the morning before (assuming the occasion is in the evening)

I agree with the people below.
Definitely on the same day, as close to the event as possible.
One thing that you should be careful with is that you don't lace it up too tight.
A friend of mine did that, and she pulled the rings together so tight that they started ripping out through out the day :

Good luck :)

It's probably in your best interest to have the piercing done the same day to avoid accidentally ripping one out of your flesh the night before (which is a lot more common than you'd think). I would also suggest having the piercing done directly before the event so you do not have to leave it in any longer than needed. You should definately call your professional piercer beforehand and make an appointment and to ensure they are aware of what type of piercing you will be getting.

You also should be aware of the scarring you will experience from the piercing. Surface piercings will never truly heal no matter what and your body will reject them--some bodies reject quicker than others. If you heal quickly then don't expect the piercing to last very long at all before becoming incredibly itchy, red, and puffy.

When your body rejects a piercing, what happens is rather frightening. The skin that is around the piercing literally sacrifices itself and dies off to expel what is underneath. This being said, some scars can be a lot more noticeable than others.

It's also noted that most corset piercings are only worn for a few hours usually before removal to minimize the scarring and infection possibilities. They are very, very rarely ever worn for over a week.

In my experience, there isn't really a good way to reduce the scarring either so you need to decide if you can deal with the scars for a long period of time. I had a surface piercing done years ago and the scar is still very noticeable and itches periodically.

Also, keep in mind that you will need to purchase some saline solution to put on the piercings each day to keep down possible infection if you're going to try to keep it for an extended period. Try your best not to mess with them and cause more damage to the area. The more you mess with the piercing, the quicker it will reject and the higher the possibility of infection. Please make sure you've researched this entirely so that no surprises come up that you were unaware of and unequipped to deal with.

I also recommend asking your piercer to do the piercing with surface bars instead of captive rings. Rings tend to be rejected quicker, leave more scarring, and have more likelihood of being accidentally torn from the flesh. You can get slave rings attached to the surface bars to hold the lacing on.

I hope all goes well and you get yourself informed enough to help reduce some of the scarring/infection risks.
