Is there pleasure in pain?
Tightening the ribbons stimulates the sensitive skin around the ribcage, Traci Joy Burleigh, a professional piercer, tells CBS News. "Most people would say yes, there is an erotic component to corset piercings," she says. (CBS News, 2015)

He was very partial to piercings and other erotic natured things.Then he bought these like minded people together, this was the birth of tattooing and piercing parties and started the widergrowrh of piercing when he backed a fellow piercer Jim ward who set up a shop in the back of his house.
