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.

Cervical Piercing… Wow…

So I’m thinking to myself, ok, this eyeball tattooing stuff is the craziest stuff I’m going to post in a while. I wasn’t even going to post any more tonight, and then I see this piercing come across our desktops and I’m just blown away…

CERVICAL PIERCING?!?!

Definitely one of the wildest things I’ve seen quite in a while. All I can say right now is, wow, I’m really surprised to see this, and it takes a fair amount to surprise me! This was done, DIY, all by touch, by Ashley Crawford at Custom Art in Norwich, England, using a 2mm x 12mm (ie. 1/2″ 12ga) titanium curved barbell.

I’m guessing that the body’s pretty resilient to damage to the cervix and this will probably heal fairly quickly — hopefully Ashley will keep us updated on how it goes. Cervix piercing… Just when you think everything that can be pierced has already been pierced!

Edit/Update #1: From the comments, our resident doctor writes, “Technically difficult but fairly low risk. Probably healed crazy fast too. The cervix is remarkably resilient and can take a lot of abuse. Being very mucosa, it’s a fast healer.”

Edit/Update #2: Click here to read more about it on Ashley’s LJ page (here’s her original entry).

Edit/Update #3: Click here for a long interview on the subject of these piercings as well as the post-gender experience! Highly recommended reading.

    Holy Christ on a stick. That must have hurt so much… I can feel my own cervix trying to crawl up into my fallopian tubes!

    But I still want one!

    Technically difficult but fairly low risk. Probably healed crazy fast too. The cervix is remarkably resilient and can take a lot of abuse. Being very mucosa, it’s a fast healer. That night of crazy sex that resulted in bleeding is often completely healed 24 hours later.

    Oh man, since my Christina piercing didn’t work out, I’ve been itching for something non-clitoral for a piercing . . . I doubt I can find anyone in my area to do it, but it’s a nice thought!

    I wonder how much it hurt, though. My own cervix can’t feel a thing; if you stick a finger in there, the actual cervix feels nothing. I know where it is and what it feels like, and the rest of that whole neighborhood is pretty darn sensitive, but that area? Not so much. More motivation to find someone to do it!

    My thought would be that the jewelry has to come out during pregnancy. I’m curious as to whether this makes one more less vulnerable to STDs since most of those have to travel through the cervical os (opening) to do their thing.

    As for pain, I suspect that this was not a party. When doing biopsies, cervices can be quite tender. Not feeling much but pressure is easy to explain as the membranes are intact. Penetrate those and things change pretty readily. Only the piercee can describe her experience for sure.
