Corsette piercing. It was hot in the uk in 2011. Has the fad made it to the US?

1. I've only seen it in person once

So, I'm thinking it never really 'took' on this side of the pond. Or maybe my friends and I are just getting old?

2. I say this as someone who has a piercing. That's just gross.

3. Would it be tacky to fake it as a tattoo?

4. Yikes...that's going to look bad once the migration sets in.

Piercings that aren't anchored into a relatively small area or piece of cartilage will migrate.

I've removed most piercings-I had 20 something at one point.

5. I've seen it in the US at a couple of BDSM conventions in the northeast.

Back in 2008 - 2010 or so. Haven't really run with that crowd since then so don't know if it's "in" now.

7. Oh. Shit. No.

I am constantly amazed by what people will do to themselves.
