What is a corset piercing? The idea actually comes from a corset, which is laced at the back.

Now you can do this without a corset if you arrange the appropriate piercings and pierce them in such a way that you can later pull a thread or ribbon through them to lace the corset, just like with a corset.

It is usually pierced on the back, but it can also be pierced along the side or on the legs - ultimately there are no limits to your imagination.

Some women don’t just wear it on their backs, along their sides, along the lungs towards their hips, no – they wear it between their breasts.

The piercing is suitable for permanent wear, although it should not always be pulled too tight.

Other customers get this type of piercing just for fun, for parties like the Life Ball or for a photo shoot.

The corset piercing is actually a combination of many surface piercings, so the information available on surface piercings also applies to the corset piercing.

Healing:

The healing of surface piercings sometimes takes a little longer than with a piercing due to the tension of the skin and thus the pierced skin area.

When doing a corset piercing, you should not initially pull any ribbons or cords through it, but let the rings heal in peace.

The length of the piercing also affects the healing time.

Finally, the diameter used is 1.2 mm or 1.6 mm.

In general, you can expect an average healing time of about 2 months.

Meanwhile, daily care is crucial for success.

Important:

Handle the single-point piercing as little as possible (and only with washed and disinfected fingers) or expose it to other unnecessary irritation. Do not remove or twist the piercing vigorously while cleaning, as both can damage the wound channel. Use Spray and Gel twice daily for the first 2–3 weeks, and then once daily for another 3 weeks.

Healing process for all single-point piercings:

Depending on the piercing location, healing can take between 3 and 12 weeks. Complete healing can take up to 12 months. Swelling of the lymph nodes is  completely normal in the first few weeks.

In the beginning, only have your piercing changed by your piercer because of the ball, bar, and ring sizes.

Never tape your piercing shut. You should also avoid using wound-healing ointments, alcohol-based or chlorine-based disinfectants, hydrogen peroxide, or essential oils.

Saunas, solariums, steam baths, and all types of full baths (swimming) must be avoided for the next two weeks. Exception: Seawater is allowed after 7 days.

Do not dye or tint your hair for 6 weeks; be careful when combing and at the hairdresser.

It's normal for your piercing to produce some discharge (clear at first, later yellow/brownish—please do not confuse this with pus) and sebum. This is part of the healing process. It can be easily removed after soaking with spray or showering.

Slight redness and swelling as well as slight bleeding are normal during the first 10 days.

Be careful of your piercing when getting dressed and undressed, eating, shaving, applying moisturizer, showering, washing, etc., to avoid accidentally injuring it by catching it. Also be careful when opening cabinets, etc.

Avoid lying down too much or putting pressure on the piercing, as this can cause it to become crooked.

If your piercing grows crookedly in an unwanted direction, you can move it in the appropriate growth direction by gently turning it in the opposite direction and holding it for a few seconds.

Positioning:

The most important thing with a surface piercing is the correct depth of the piercing channel under the skin.

The rings are inserted according to the customer's wishes and the corresponding length of the corset.

Either 1.2 mm or 1.6 mm jewelry can be used, although 1.6 mm is recommended.
