A row of piercings vertically parallel and symetrical to another row, fashioned with rings allowing a ribbon to be threaded through in the style of a corset. Most often done on the back but can be done on the side too. Sometimes done for one night then all the rings are removed to allow healing.
"I'm thinking about getting a corset piercing for the concert."
"Aren't you afraid it'll get torn out?"
"Naw, it's gonna be mostly posers there, otherwise I'd be moshing."

Get the corset piercing mug.Undergarment designed to exaggerate or alter the body. Usually strengthened by strips of hard material (bones) such as steel, whalebone, etc. or by softer material such as cording, straw, etc.
There are several main types of corset which are seen in reproduction today.
The Elizabethan corset of the 17th century kept a flat-fronted, conical body shape which exaggerated and pushed up the breasts. Waist reduction was minimal.
The early Victorian corset of the mid-19th century cinched in the waist to give an exaggerated hourglass figure. The wide skirts and large sleeves of the period also made the waist look that much smaller by comparison. It was short, and encompassed only the waist.
The later Victorian/early Edwardian corset--the so-called 'cuirass' corset--was severer. Since the skirt style of the day was long, slim, and straight in front, with exaggerated fullness at the back, slim hips were necessary to carry off the look properly. Furthermore, the narrower skirt did not give the appearance of a small waist, so the corset was extended over the hips and laced more tightly than before.
"Cuirass" corsetry caused extreme discomfort, if not injuries, for many women, and public outcry against the 'evils of tightlacing' spurred a new corset design. The S-bend corset, worn around the turn of the century, was an attempt at a healthier, less restrictive corset. This corset was flat-fronted, and forced an unnatural arch into the back, pushing the breasts up and out and the rear down and back. The woman wearing it appeared to lean slightly forward, almost on the verge of tipping over.This corset, however, was worse than its predecessors: the forced arch caused back, neck, and joint problems for many of its wearers.
After World War I, the corset began to disappear. Women's fashions began to use much less fabric, and a slim-hipped, boyish figure became popular. The focus of women's dresses shifted to the hips, so girdles to slim the hips and brassieres to flatten the chest were worn instead of the corset. These girdles often used stretch fabrics instead of boning to smooth the hips.
The corset would enjoy a small comeback in the 1950's, when the 'New Look' style once more emphasized the hourglass figure, but it has been largely ignored until its recent reintroduction as an 'alternative' fashion for evening and club wear.

Get the Corperica mug.I went to job corps and went through all the shit that all the ghetto fucking kids wanted to pull. e.g. taking a shit in the toilet and not flushing. pissing in the fountain. smelling like shit all the time. starting shit with other people, because they are immature assholes. This is the typical bullshit that is done all the time. ALL THE FUCKING TIME. YOu know how ***I**** got through job corps? I fucking did what I suppose to do, I kept my shit clean, I went to class and completed *ALL* my training. I went to college for free and went on to a UNIVERSITY. ********************************The reason it is strict there, is because of dumb asshole children that get dropped off there because they aren't wanted at home. ********************************
You came there for a reason and that is to learn and to GROW the FUCK UP. NOBODY is FORCING you to stay there. The only reason YOU have to be there is because your GRANDMA won't want you home. Stop being a bitch and QQ and pulling the WTFBBQ on people telling you to PULL your fucking pants up and goto class.
I had plenty of FRIENDS that graduated with a RN, LVN, Automechanic, Electrician, Business owner. That went to Job Corps and succeeded. I loved Job Corps and if I had a second chance to do it again, I'd be in line on the spot.
