Surface Piercings

surfacepiercing

Surface piercings are any body piercings that take place on the surface into the body through areas which are not particularly concave or convex which is a surface flap of skin, rather than through a piece of body tissue from one side to another. A surface bar follows the plane of skin, while a standard piercing is pierced through the plane.

Sometimes surface piercings are difficult to heal, due to the daily activities that takes place, and which the body rejects the jewelry as a foreign object. Proper placement and jewelry selection by an experienced body piercer can help alleviate this problem. A well done surface can last for years, but still even not many do last, maybe anywhere between 3 months.

The best jewelry to be used in a surface piercing is a surface bar, though some might have success with PTFE bar due to its flexibility and non stainless steel.

The many different types of surface piercings are – Madison, Vampire Bites, Cheek, Valley, Hip, Anti-eyebrow, and many others.

Neck Piercing Body Jewelry

 

Neck piercing is done through the loose flesh on the back of the neck and is also called a nape piercing. They carry a high rate of rejection and migration, unless they are properly measured and placed. They may reject if they are not pierced properly, as they are in a part of the body that moves constantly and are easy to irritate, catching on clothing or other objects. You can cover them with a band-aid, but surface piercing is an open wound, and they do need air to breathe, so keeping it covered for a long period of time wouldn’t be the best idea.
