THIS Is a New Summer Trend?

Friday April 8, 2005
While I don't quibble with the authenticity of this image and others like it now circulating via email, I do question the claim that they document a "trend" of any kind. In body modification circles the practice depicted is known as a "corset piercing," and it's not for everyone, experts admit — an understatement if I ever heard one. (More photos here.)

well i have a corset piercing .. it consists of 5 hoops on each side.. i dont consider this being a trend it is more of an art.. so for those who do it to express themselves thats alright for them… but to those who do it just because everybody else is doing it .. then there wrong ;]
