I love this traceotomy piercing (or beautification, as she puts it) by Missy Twohig at Karma Tattoo Studio in Erie, PA. It’s healed in this photo, and is certainly one of the most unique piercings I’ve ever seen!

That’s really neat. I love how many different ways people can own/beautify their body and enhance even perceived flaws. Awesome idea.

amanda –
how could one possibly aspirate such a piercing?? it’s a scar from a tracheotomy tube. not a gaping hole.
brilliant.

I think there are a couple people here who don’t know what a tracheostomy is.
Basically instead of putting a breating tube into their lungs via the oral cavity, they make an incision right below the vocal cords and insert the tube that way, most the times because there is an obstruction in the upper oral cavity.
I’m 99% sure that all trach incisions heal completely shut (there would be way too many risks otherwise) so she couldn’t aspirate that jewelry.
on that note, that doesn’t look like a she. Otherwise “she” has a big adams apple! haha.

Nobody called the person a ‘she’… ‘bodymodgirl’ was referring to her own friend.
The person who appeared to not know that a tracheostomy scar completely heals shut probably thought this was a breathing stoma.

Actually, in
âI love this traceotomy piercing (or beautification, as she puts it) â¦â?
the “she” refers to the artist who did the piercing – “Missy Twohig at Karma Tattoo Studio in Erie, PA”.
