Surface bars and tattoos


This inverted cross started as a burn from a brand, you can see a small pinkish line that will dissapear soon. I liked the scar so much that I tattooed it onto my leg, covering most of the scar (except that one little line). The tattoo itself will one day be incorporated into a larger mural covering my entire leg, but for now since it stands alone I decided to play with it. Ive never used surface bars before so inserting them was a challenge. I was fishing for the exit holes for a while. Other than that installation was relatively smooth. I love how they look and match the width of the tattoo, and I hope I dont have to take them out any time soon - theyre just too cool to remove...



Corset piercing - temporary


 18 count 14 gauge captive bead rings in my left upper thigh woven into a corset with black lace. Ive done corsets before, but lets consider this the first official one as its the first with 14 gauge rings. I adjusted the lace with my knee bent, and I can flex my leg normally. Putting on pants hurts a little but pants are over rated anyways. Ive always loved the look of a corset piercing, I hope you like my temporary one!
