Madison Piercing
A Madison piercing is a body piercing going through the skin at the front of the neck. They are surface piercings, and have a high rate of migration and rejection. They have a long healing period, if they heal at all. The Madison piercing is named after the first person publicly associated with it, the porn star Madison Stone. Health issues The vast majority of Madison piercings will reject or migrate. In a three-year, informal study ThePoint_issue33.indd
by the Association of Professional Piercers, out of twelve participants with Madison Piercings, nine were removed due to migration during the first year and the remaining three had not healed. At the end of the three-year study, only one piercing had healed and was still worn. Poorly healed, migrating or rejected piercings can cause ...

Surface Piercing
Surface piercings are Body piercing, piercings that are found on flat parts of the body, giving a double-pierced look that sits flat against the skin. A surface bar follows the plane of skin, while a standard piercing is pierced through the plane. Standard piercings have an entrance hole with an exit hole that is usually directly behind the entrance hole, whereas with a surface piercing the entrance and exit holes are next to each other on the skin surface. Types Some examples of surface piercings: *Corset piercing: a series of bilaterally symmetrical piercings, normally done on the back, intended to be laced like a corset. *Christina piercing: located at the mons pubis. *Madison piercing: a horizontal piercing located just above the collarbone, at the base of the neck. *Nape piercing: located on the back of the neck. *Neck piercing: located on the side of the neck. It is also called "Vampire Bites". *Hip piercing: located on or beside the hips (on the pelvis near the hips bones). ...

Surface Bar
Barbell style piercing jewelry is composed of a straight bar with a bead on each end, one or both beads unscrewable for removal and/or changing of the beads. Often one of the beads is fixed, either via epoxy or welding, so that only one bead is used to install or remove the jewelry. Barbell threads are usually right-handed. They are named because they resemble the barbells that are used in weightlifting. Types of barbells Internally threaded barbells Named because the bar has smooth ends with receiving threads tapped into the end of the bar. In internally threaded jewelry, the bead has a receiving tube machined into it (this is referred to as "countersunk"), with a threaded post extending from the center, which mates with the threaded receiving tube on the bar. Being much less likely to cause damage and irritation, especially at the time of piercing, internally threaded jewelry is considered superior to externally threaded jewelry. It is usually slightly more expen ...

Piercing Migration
Piercing migration is a body piercing's movement from its initial location. Migration may be unnoticed, or painful with progression. It may be slight and brief, or continue until exiting the skin. Potential causes and effects of migration Migration varies widely. The most common case is heavy, small gauge earrings moving down until exiting the earlobe after most of a lifetime. It is dubbed the "cheese-cutter effect", because of its similarity to cutting cheese using a fine wire. Contemporary body and ear piercing jewelry mitigates the effect by increasing the weight to gauge ratio. However, migration remains possible, especially with heavy jewelry, even of large gauge. Another migration cause, though rare, is play or movement affecting the pierced or implanted area, either by causing a wound, or merely stretching the fistula in one direction, thus allowing tissue growth in the void behind. The latter can affect tongue piercings, for example, but neither normally induces exit fr ...

Pornographic Film Actor
A pornographic film actor or actress, pornographic performer, adult entertainer, or porn star is a person who performs sex acts on video that is usually characterized as a pornographic film. Such videos tend to be made in a number of distinct pornographic subgenres and attempt to present a sexual fantasy; the actors selected for a particular role are primarily selected on their ability to create or fit that fantasy. Pornographic videos are characterized as either softcore, which does not contain depictions of sexual penetration or extreme fetishism, and hardcore, which can contain depictions of penetration or extreme fetishism, or both. The genres and sexual intensity of videos is mainly determined by demand. Depending on the genre of the film, the on-screen appearance, age, and physical features of the actors and their ability to create the sexual mood of the video is of critical importance. Most actors specialize in certain genres, such as straight, bisexual, gay, lesbian ...

Captive Bead Ring
A captive bead ring (CBR), ball closure ring (BCR), captive hoop, or captive ball ring is a common example of body piercing jewelry. The captive bead or ball fits into a small opening in the circle of the ring. The bead is slightly larger than this opening and has small indentations or depressions that correspond to the ring's end-points so that it may fit snugly against them, thus completing the circuit of the ring. Often, a hole is drilled through the bead to allow easier fitting. It uses the natural tension (mechanics), tensile or compression (physical), compressive strength of the metal the ring is made of, usually surgical stainless steel, niobium, or titanium, to hold the bead tightly in place. The bead or ball itself may additionally be made from coloured glass, acrylic glass, acrylic or ceramic, or a gemstone. This is a popular piece of body jewelry because it conveniently allows the wearer to remove the ring by simply removing the captive bead; the bead is held firmly in ...
