A few days ago I posted one of the small number of ultra-rare piercings, the eyelid ring, and I wanted to follow that up today with the even rarer, and arguably more dangerous, Achilles tendon piercing. This piercing literally passes through the small gap in between the Achilles tendon and the junction of the fibula, tibia, and talus junction — it goes without saying that if problems arise, they can be literally crippling… This particular example was done by David Bendele of On The Edge Body Art Studio in Findlay, Ohio.

Just a follow up to this thread.
2017 marks the 21st birthday of my ankle piercing.
Although I’ve all but stopped my performances, the hole still lives on.
Regarding choice of piercers, my usual piercer opted to back out, so I did mine myself.
As far as restricted function goes, not long after I did it, I walked the coast from Melbourne to Adelaide, pulling a trailer, and it gave me no grief.
I now wear a 10mm tunnel for everyday use, and only wear the spike for “special occasions”.
