It comes with a host of safety features preventing the laser to be focussed deep within the body - thus it cannot be used as a weapon - and the depth of focus is limited so that it's only application is as a piercing tool (and an automatic cauterizer). It hurts like hell (because it burns a hole through the flesh) but it is very fast and very clean. Rings or barbells can be slipped through the fresh, clean and dry wounds at once and there is no need for several weeks of healing that traditional piercings require, so apart from the agony of the hole cutting itself and the gradually fading pain after that, a slave's piercings can be played with at once, including the application of clamps and weights to the newly burned hole.<br/><br/>The laser-piercer is expensive and so some piercing parlours still exist although the service is most often carried out at slave beauty treatment centres which conduct other body mods.<br/><br/>An establishment like Richelieu's would be financially able to own one and Kaelyn would most probably have a member of staff skilled in its use.
