Another one shocking type of BM: foot binding

January 29th, 2008

This type of body modification was practiced in China for one thousand years. Girls have their feet wrapped from the early ages thus limiting the normal development and crippling them. Worth noting that as a result of this leads to disability.

Zhou Guizhen who is 86 years old, shows one of her bound feet where the bones in the four small toes were broken and forced underneath the foot over a period of time, at her home in Liuyi village in China’s southern Yunnan Province, 23 February 2007. According to popular Chinese legend the custom was at first adopted among courtesans after a Tang Dynasty emperor about 1000 years ago fell in love with a concubine who wrapped her tiny feet in silk when she danced and the practice soon entrenched itself in the lower classes. It became the ultimate measure of a woman’s beauty and also a condition of marriage and part of bedside repertoire. To mold the so-called “lotus foot” girls’ feet were wrapped at about six years of age, an agonisingly painful process that would break the bones. MARK RALSTON/AFP/Getty Images

You want to live, to sing, to love… who knows, that he will understand me. As for me, piercing is better then medicine for the stresses. I have pierced my tongue several days ago… this is REALY BEAUTIFUL!!! Don’t be frightened to make your life more bright. Now I’m happy and beautiful! And I wish you all the same!! :) )

Corset piercing part 2. Real-corset piercing

June 5th, 2006

Thus, you were decided for real-corset piercing and were prepared to approach the operation thoroughly and it is professional? Then first of all you should buy good body jewelry for this. We want to warn you, that regardless the fact what kind of jewelry you will select (titanium, steel or plastic), the healing of corset goes the minimum of two or three months. The period can be insignificantly decreased (to one-and-a-half months), if we originally place PTFE- Teflon rods and follow the healing, not fit any excess details like a ribbons and other. And after complete healing you can change jewelry for the ringlets or shoeings as you wish. If you don’t want wait for complete healing, try to follow the rules of care of surface piercing.

Ring jewelry is better to select from titanium by the size 1.6×14mm or 1.6×16mm.Thickness and diameter they have the fundamental value: thin rings will vomit the skin, and small diameter ( for example 10mm) will tighten puncture, interfere witing the formation of channel. Too big diameter will also nothing improve: 20mm or 22mm of ring will interfere, caught and incorrect (too widely) to form the healing channel.

Next you should make right corset-piercing marking, and make it accurately and correctly, because your back like the large sheet of clean paper. Try without any rules to make symmetrical marked points on this sheet. Spine the blades will help you to do it right.

For the beginning you will be determined, what even quantity of punctures you want to have and how you want to arrange them. Optimum number of punctures - 10 pieces, on five from each side. But if you want more, then nothing you will prevent from making even 20.

Marking is done by special marker as follows: the input-output of needle and the circle between them in order to present result. The length of punctures must be less to the 2-3 mm than the selected jewelry. Thus, if the diameter of the ringlet of 14mm, then the length of puncture there will be 10-12mm.

Markers are made and procedure begins. Pierce-master must clearly occur and feel, as needle passes under the skin at a sufficient depth, minimally damaging the adipose tissue (layer). If the pierce made too deeply, then it will not get accustomed: there will be the adipose tissue around the adornment , which prevents the formation of internal duct. Problems can arise, if the pierce made too closely to the surface of the skin: the skin will increase gradually under the jewelry, pushing out it outside (rejection).

Next time we will tell you about corset-piercing aftercare.
