In Your skin

Practical Piercing

(Extract from the catalogue)

#1 Free Hands Kit : at work, in the street, in your car, shopping, at the restaurant, in bed, with your kids, keep your hands free all time. Keep whatever you need on you, in you. With hoops, key rings, rings, worn single or double or in series, you can keep any vital everyday objects next to you. Hoops, hooks and piercing barbells are sold separately or with accessories (wallets for paper tissues, tube tickets, pen or lighter. Any combination is possible and each of these combinations is just a suggestion).

#2 Practical-shopping Kit : Beauty with pain. With two hooks for shopping bags pierced at shoulder level you can divide your purchases between a front bag and a rear bag for each shoulder. The hook balances the weight out.

#3 Travel Kit : Love your money like yourself. Piercing stud with chain link to your wallet. You are your money. It's your skin they're taking. When someone steals your wallet you'll feel it immediately. Pain gives you wings to run after the thief.

#4 Tears of Eros Kit : banal in appearance, the Tears of Eros piercing is a round jewel mounted on a spike in porous, rusty metal. In truth it's a small blade disguised as something else. It prevents scar tissue forming, and as you agitate it, wether with tongue or finger (because you can't help titillating it, like the oyster's pearl or loose tooth) the wound gets septic and infected. This jewel promises complete self-knowledge.

#5 Tame Dog Kit : Love you, love your dog. Piercing + hooks + leather leash + collar. Walk your dog while reading the paper. Let him go. A sound knowledge of the area and the favourite spots of your chrished pet is required so as not to be surprised by a sudden rush. Warning : depending on where you're pierced, and the faithfulness, good training, or cruelty of your dog, you might end up being dragged along until you lose consciouness.

#6 In memory of the divine Marquis Kit : Get yourself an extra sexual organ. Pierce stomach, the fatty part of the buttocks or thight with a needle. Position the jewel. Little by little enlarge the hole using plugs or pins, and prevent it from scarring. When the wound is well open and of an acceptable size, remove the jewel and use the wound for fucking and screwing. The wearer of the piercing offers an extra sexual organ, a surplus pleasure to any lover.

#7 I've-got-everything-a-kid-could-want-it Kit : A collection of 10 piercing rings + a multi-purpose game set to fix onto the stomach or the back, comprising a baskettball net and ball, a dart board and three darts, a bow and two arrows (optional hooks for boomerang and frisbee).

#8 Smoking Kit : Hook and wallet to slip your pipe into. A variation on the famous Polynesian fashion for cutting a notch in the arm and hollowing out a hole under the skin for one's pipe.

#9 St Valentine's Kit : Be beautiful. Hoop, ring and organic glass tube to contain water and a flower.

#10 Smile prosthesis Kit : Don't let your bad moods spoil your success at work. To succeed in deals, think about your look. Wear the zigomatic barbell and smile all the time (useful for romantic rendez-vous or Sunday lunches with the family).

#11 Visor prosthesis Kit : The visor clips onto three piercing studs, one between the eyebrows and the other two at the temples. It can clip on in one hand movement and offer solar protection. It avoids having to wear a cap or fixing ugly flaps onto your spectacles.

#12 Techno Kit : With a stud that can pick up short radio waves or be linked to your mobile, pierced at the ear, you can stay in contact with your tribe.

# 13 Nerve-Scales Kit : Each ring, pin and stud is endowed with a thin metallic wire which acts like a small antenna. Linked directly to a non-scarred piercing, the implanted electrode enables you to receive sensorial stimuli according to choice if someone telephones you, loves you, or burgles you. An option enables you to link your non-scarred piercings to the bodywork of your car so you can experience, in your nerves, accidents, everyday knocks, even overtakings. The voltage of each event can be regulated according to choice. The intensity and frequency of the shocks are controlled by a selector with 10 different levels. Not advisable for pregnant women or wearers of pacemakers. Delivered without batteries. Optional orders for conductive gel possible.

#14 Executioner of oneself kit :

"I am the wound and the knife!

I am the slap and the cheek!

I am the body and wheel

The victim and the executioner!" (Baudelaire)

A set of 10 or 20 studs to fix in a square or rectangle on the skin so as to prepare a complete removal of the skin from the pinned area. Positioned at 1 centimetre intervals, the piercings unstick the epidermis. cut out according to the pattern thus formed and bring to life a special territory for pain. Touching is your thing.

# 15 Multi-pocket Kit : invented by naturist and businessman Daniel Lefebvre from the South of France. "There was a real demand", Daniel commented: "How can one live naked with all the objects of modern life?" The multi-pocket kit was conceived by its users : a set of eight piercing rings placed in the chest and back carries the weight of four large holdall pockets. You put them on and take them off like a cloak. 100% light polyamide, grey, red or black with scratch zip.
