I’ll post some more later still, but until then to tide you over, this 12-point corset was done by Damien Caskey at Monsterz Ink in Sylmar, CA. There’s a second, more gratuitous photo after the break.

Danae had this done by Koppatone at Fallen Angel Tattoo in Citrus Heights, CA. More photos continue after the break.
This photo and facial corset is by Amanda Wolf, Laughing Gremlin, Grandville MI. I haven’t had a chance to move across any of the old pictures yet, but I’ve added a corset piercing gallery to BME finally and it’s where I’ll be filing all of the semi-permanent corsets (any done with jewelry basically)…
PS. Don’t miss the very nice industrial piercing by the way!
Anna’s passions include dance and body modifications — which I see as being very similar passions in a lot of ways — and her friend Anna Powalowska documented that in a recent photo shoot. The corset (done only for these pictures) was done by Pawel at Black Star Studio in Warsaw, Poland. Her tattoo was done by her boyfriend Karol who also tattoos at Black Star.
My friend Steve Truitt in Albuquerque wrote me with this photo of an eight-piece microdermal corset he did on a client. The oldest one is about eight months old and the newest about half that, and they’re all doing quite well (although it seems that there was a bottom pair that got removed; I’m assuming due to pants interaction). She’s worn the slave ring ends for over a month now, and as a dancer, occasionally laces them up for work — I wonder if she gets more or less tips those nights?
Michelle is proof that corset piercings, done correctly, are perfectly capable of surviving into the longterm. At nine months old it’s quite well healed and looking very healthy.
It’s winter, I can’t put the rings on myself, and I’ve lost all the ribbon — excuses, excuses. I still can’t go through a good sized party in my home town (or college come to think of it) where someone doesn’t ask to see my back or tell someone else that they just need to see that metal I have. I almost always make people touch it — it makes the night just that much more fun.
I know I’m always asking people I’ve just met to touch my piercings too, but the only piercings I have are below the belt so the context is different.
Amber sent me a shot of her best friend’s upper arm corset piercing (“she was a trooper though it all — lots of squirming and ‘oh fucks’ were involved, but no tears”), which she got after losing her hip piercings the week before. They were done for the Pomona Convention, but she’s planning on babying them with the hope that she’ll be able to keep them as long as possible. Rick Anders at DV8 Tattoos and Body Piercing in Vallejo, California did them for her.
This gorgeous corset is by Laura Haley of Boothill Tattoo Studio, London, UK.
Mike Moore at Eternal Tattoos of Clawson, MI recently did this funny piercing project; a set of four pierced-in-place garter straps! Click through for a couple less gratuitous photos of it.
Kelly got fifty-six needles by Sean at Manakin Tattoo in Pismo Beach, California.
