A corset piercing is a series of surface piercings made to simulate the appearance of the lacing on the back of a corset. Two rows of parallel symmetrical piercings are performed with as few as four piercings, two per row, or as many as the length of the back, and the vertical space between piercings will allow space for. Most corset piercings are intended to be temporary in nature.

Temporary corset piercings are often performed for cosmetic enhancement, often for a special occassion. Often temporary corset piercings are worn laced with ribbon, rope, or chain through captive bead rings.
