Corset piercing, which involves sticking hoops into the skin by hand and then threading them with a ribbon can cost up to $500 (£300). But a cosmetic surgeon has warned it is ‘extremely painful’ and could cause horrendous permanent scars and infections.

The procedure, which can last more than an hour is only temporary and grows out after a few weeks, leaving a loathsome hard scabby scar on your body for the rest of your life. Whatever happen to getting your ears pierced to piss off your parents.

Enter Fire Line, by Planika, geared primarily for architects and interior designers, but welcome edition in my house any time.

Fire Line is fully automatic, includes a large LED display that can be operated with a remote control and the burner is made of stainless acid proof steel with a powdered-coated base.

The elegant looking long ribbon of flames can be added to a wall, a recess or even on a shelf and because Fire Line uses an advanced system to burn fumes instead of actual fuel, CO2 emissions are cut down to a bare minimum.

Santa is going to have to find another way to get into these homes.
