'''Tim Cridland''' is one of the best known professional [[:Pincushions|pincushions]].


== Biography ==
The '''Deep Dydoe''' piercing (also known as a [[Zephyr Piercing]]) is just that — a deep [[Dydoe]] piercing. The top hole is in the standard position in the valley of the coronal ridge. The exit point is next to the urethral opening, with the barbell traveling just under the surface of the glans, theoretically stimulating the nerve endings in a way similar the [[Ampallang]] functions.
He began his act as '''The Torture King''' as a member of the original [[:Jim Rose Circus Sideshow|Jim Rose Circus Sideshow]]. Cridland left the Jim Rose Show in [[:1994|1994]] to produce his own show.  He currently performs as '''Zamora the Torture King''' or simply '''Zamora'''.


Tim's act is unique as it contains not only standard [[:Play_piercing|play piercing]] and [[:Sword_swallowing|sword swallowing]], but deep piercings through the body of his arms and through the flesh inside his jaw (like a [[:Sprung|Sprung]] piercing). Additionally, he cuts into his torso, appearing to remove swallowed objects directly from his stomach.
This piercing is anatomy-dependent to some extent. Not only does it require someone with a reasonably prominent [[Coronal ridge|coronal ridge]], but the glans shape should allow for a good exit to eliminate [[Migration|migration]] problems. Finally, it is important that jewelry sizing take into account any size changes between flaccid and erect states.


Especially considering that his act is repeated almost daily on a tour schedule, he pushes the boundaries of the pincushion act remarkably far.

Deep Dydoe

The Deep Dydoe piercing (also known as a Zephyr Piercing) is just that — a deep Dydoe piercing. The top hole is in the standard position in the valley of the coronal ridge. The exit point is next to the urethral opening, with the barbell traveling just under the surface of the glans, theoretically stimulating the nerve endings in a way similar the Ampallang functions.

This piercing is anatomy-dependent to some extent. Not only does it require someone with a reasonably prominent coronal ridge, but the glans shape should allow for a good exit to eliminate migration problems. Finally, it is important that jewelry sizing take into account any size changes between flaccid and erect states.
