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.

Non-Temporary Corset Piercing

Cat had this great permanent (click for a shot showing that; it’s now four months old and doing well with no signs of rejection) corset piercing done by Jason AKA Rip who works at Addiction NYC. The piercings were done with eight surface bars using CBR beads for the lacing in photoshoots and flatback beads for day-to-day wear.

    Sadly, I do not live in the LA area. =/ If you do happen to get ahold of a client who’s willing, let me know how it goes. If you have IAM you can reach me there. 😀

    I like seeing long-term corsets doing well! I’ve had mine now for over a year and the only sort of ‘sacrifices’ I had to make were becoming even more panicky about germs (i.e. germs on my clothes getting into my piercings!)
    Mine is a lot smaller than this one, its only 4 surface bars, so I’m really impressed that she has the dedication to keep twice as many! It looks fantastic on her!

    It helps if you have understanding parents/boyfriend. Those three people were essential in me keeping my corset in the beginning. Now I just leave it alone!

    Wow! I didn’t think my piercings would have had such a big turn out. I’m glad everyone likes them.

    For the first 3 months of healing I didn’t sleep on my back at all, I didn’t bend over, and I spent most of my time soaking in hot sea salt baths in the tub. But now I sleep however I damn well please.

    Thank you to Shannon for thehonorable mention and thanks to my piercer Jason who is the awesomest.
