A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

    1: How cool would it be to wear a backless wedding dress revealing a pierced corset!

    I also like her lower back tattoo. The lily and the the nature of the lines makes it more delicate and less tramp-stampy.

    I’ve always wondered if a corset with Microdermals would work…If you could fix rings into the ends?

    Pearl, one of my friends had a corset piercing done and wore a backless dress to our high school graduation formal, if that helps 🙂

    P.S I’ve been wondering whether a corset piercing using short surface bars would work in the long term. It would be a hell of a lot of work to keep clean, though.

    For the people wondering about more ‘permanent’ corsets- it certainly can be done if you can find a piercer who’s got the skillz =)

    Here’s some pics of one my boss (Pete Sheringham) did – all punch and taper and spread out over a few sessions to give them a chance to heal.

    You’re right though, you have to be very dedicated to heal and maintain something like that! =)

    my problem with “corset” piercings, is that ideally, when corseting, you don’t want that curved shape. the corset should make straight lines.. or as straight as possible. so if you were to get “true” corset piercings, you’d have two vertical lines of piercings.

    end of rant.

    I’m trying for a long lasting corset right now, but it’s with 4 big surface bars that have rings on each side so it becomes an 8 ring corset. it’s another option to surface bars so that you don’t have to have a ring and a stud
    it’s just about a month old now, and going strong so we’ll see how it turns out!
