MOST definitely not for the squeamish...

Okay, had to go google it..... here's a website to check out (and there are many more)..... http://www.bmezine.com/news/pubring/20050417.html

It's absolutely real.

It's VERY tame compared to somethings I've seen...

Agreed.

Talk about stereotyping.

Not just young people. To be honest, there's MORE adults cutting (or other forms of causing pain) than children, believe it or not.

I don't mean to criticize you, but that sounds like a very jaded view.

Absoultely.

Here, it's a real problem that gets you automatically admitted to the psych ward in the hospital for 3 days minimum. It's required and you can't sign yourself out AMA.

Ewwwww That Is Gross!!!!

That is disgusting - My oldest (17) wants to have wings tattooed on her back -(Big wings - also very ugly) I think I'd prefer the tat over this- but as long as I have say - It's nothing.....

[Wylie's Mom]

This looks so painful and disturbing. Ow.

And, btw, this is not related to "cutting" (as implied earlier) in any way, shape, or form. Cutting is done to relieve pain - bc the pain from the cut is LESS pain than the emotional pain someone is experiencing, sadly.

I'm not a cutter, but I certainly hear/see it often these days, and my heart goes out to anyone going through this.

Both boobs are pierced all the way down in the center, then there's ribbon threaded through like the above pictures. She ties the ribbon really tight & says it's better than any bra. Ay yi yi.

She must have small boobs---------I would have to lace mine over my shouders and across my back to hold them up.

I have piercings and tats and I'm by no means a prude. I see nothing I like about this though.

Anyone remember the movie, "A Man Called Horse?" It keeps popping into my head when I look at these.

LOL Me too!!! I'm 38 E, there's no way a bit of ribbon & some steel rings would hold these babies up

[nefertelli]

that looks like something out of a low budget horror movie! Sick,sick, sick. Is this where society's values are moving toward? They had this in that J-Lo movie, forget the name though. That's no surprise is it?

[ChestersMom]

I guess most of you guys have never heard of a Prince Albert or a Jacob's Ladder for men, huh? Talk about disgusting. My 15 year old son keeps talking about wanting tattoos. Of course, it'll be over my dead body until he's 18. Hopefully, by then, he will have outgrown it.

[Amber_lv]

you guys are so funny lol. I agree they are different but i don't think they are horrible i have seen much much worse. Think about this having these on your back or on you Private area lol i have actually seen woman go in and ask to have this done to their unmentionable area below. i had a friend who was a peircer and people will peirce anything they can(anything) LOL on the boob thing hahaha i would need a lot more than a ribbon and some earrings to hold my girls i have a very large chest and to me that would be extreamly painful way more than the back. i do think it kinda looks cool up the sides though sorry. i had my belly button peirced when i was 18 and had complications with it and had it removed, I also have my tounge peirced but i am not a freak in anyway lol it was a rebelious thing i did at 18. I would never do it again though it hurt like hell!!

[Amber_lv]

BTW if you think the corset is bad how about an eyelid peircing lol
