I beg to differ. Here are just a few suggestions for anyone pondering the usefullness of these and whether or not they could benefit from having it done to themselves:

1) Great place to store keys at the beach
2) Attach a leash
3) Bed tiedowns
4) Pickup bed tiedowns
5) Criss Cross practice (kids string game)
6) Tow rope attachment when car is out of gas
7) Pen and pencil holders
8) Airport xray system testing device
9) Silverware holders when eating while standing up.
10) Easily separate skin halves after incission to remove kidney


So the question as I see it is why would you not want corset piercings?

:laugh: :thumbsup:

My dad has full sleeves on both arms nipple piercings and he worked at a surfshop and by surfshop I mean a investment banking firm.

You forgot to mention they're built-in carabiners.

You'll need to try a lot harder if you want to win the "Longest Run-on Sentence" award away from RobCur.

What part of "tongue/eyebrow/nose/lip rings" do you not understand? :D I'm talking about things that can't be covered up.

Especially when you're dealing with the public, some people my be turned off by someone servicing/helping them with that sh!t pokin' out at them.

Well, non-service oriented jobs, such as maintenance (and I'm not talking about just janitors) of equipment, design, etc. Seem to be an option, I would hazard to guess. (NO piercings/tats here, so dont' know much about them)

I work in IT and have my tongue pierced. Most people don't even know it's there, even after working with me for years.

They're called corset piercings oddly enough. I've always liked them. They reject relatively quickly since they get pulled more than most. You people really need to get out more.

I'm sorry, I don't go to freak shows

Funny, I call it the real world.

Not my world thank you very much.
The only thing good about the current piercing fad is that it will hopefully have run its course by the time my kids are teenagers.

Whatever is the fad at the time will probably piss you off just as much if not more.

Possibly - I have a hard time imagining what it could be though.

In 30 years the youth of today is going to wakeup and say to themselves,

'Omg! What was I thinking when I got these tatoos, body piercings, fish hooks, herpes, syphilis, aids, and 7 children with women I met once?'

And that will just be the 40 year olds.

This is precisely why I only do things that aren't permanent. Piercings, dying my hair, etc. It's major, and it lasts a while, but it's not too hard to reverse.

Though I may get a tattoo, but it's something I pretty much know I'll believe in forever.

Meh - that's hardly a fad. We've been doing that for millions of years.

It's no worse/better than any other piercing. As soon as it's trendy, most of you will like them.

20 years ago: "Who would get a tattoo above her butt? That's stupid."
Today: "You got a tattoo above your ass! You're so unique!"
20 years from now: "Mom, why do so many women have art above their butt cracks?"
