JennTS SG They're sort of like metal piercings in your body, and you can tie laces around them. They look kinda cool and I might get them (those pierced on your back instead of side) someday when I move away from my parents. But I still need to do a little research first, cause my main concern is the scaring involved, so does anyone know what these are called?
JennTS SG But they're sooooo sexy. Anyway, like I said, I'm still curious about it and I need to do more research. If I find out that it causes heavy scarring I'll probably veer clear from it forever. And they're sooooo sexy.
Chuichi Koshiramaru SG I believe they're called 'corset piercings'. http://xpress.sfsu.edu/archives/magazine/005034.html http://www.girlsandcorpses.com/issue13_mizuz.html It's amazing if you know how to use Google. http://www.google.com.sg/search?hl=en&q=body+modification+back+piercings+corsets+laces&meta=
JennTS SG While the first link was pretty helpful in answering my question, the second link just seemed to freak me out a little... Thanks anyway.
the Bear SG girl, they're extreme piercings and usually result in a LOT of pain, a LOT of scarring and in a lot of cases, medical problems from infections and stuff like that... buy a corset instead yah?
JennTS SG This one was the one that got me hooked onto the whole thing actually. My sister sent me this from her phone by bluetooth and it's currently my handphone wallpaper. Most of these are only temporarly, for about 1 - 3 months which was what I expected, but the redness I see on the skin from some pictures looks a little scary. Ahhhhhh, thanks anyway.
the Bear SG hmm.. 1 - 3 months is enough to cause a lot of scarring maybe i'm old-fashioned but i like stroking the skin of my partner.. things like that, make me afraid that i'll hurt her if i inadvertently catch the piercing with a finger or a ring... anyway, happy new year jenn
JennTS SG Found another pretty picture. Anyway I just read through several sites briefly, and it seems that almost most of the scarring is caused by incompetent/negligent piercers that use the wrong method of piercing (the image on top; you can obviously see from the redness of the skin), where they use a ring to pierce instead of a surface bar (as seen below). And thanks a lot Bear. Happy new year to you too. *hugs*
the Bear SG unfortunately, i get a red x anyway, be aware and careful of any of those incompetent piercing places... and be well yah?
JennTS SG Yea I know, I was in the process of editing it when you posted. I will be careful, and you take care too k?
the Bear SG you know about my meat being your poison? people love broccoli but i can't stand it... stuff like that.. variety, makes the world a wonderfully interesting place
jacqn SG sick! what if you forgot that you have these piercing, and one day you stretch your body? imagine the ribbons snap? yucks..
JennTS SG I hardly think that you could forget that you have over 10 metal pieces pierced into your body.
