WhitneyWhy are Surface Piercings Popular?
November 27th 2010 16:46
Personally, it's pretty simple... Surface piercings are popular because they are different. How many people do you know that has a surface piercing?
The number isn't going to be nearly as many as the number of people with navel piercings or standard lobe piercings.
Surface piercings are a relatively new piercing that isn't that common, which makes it appealing.
But, in all reality, it's not an ideal piercing because it has a rejection rate of 99%, but I guess, to each is his own.
I have had two surface piercings, both of which rejected within about 6 months or so and were taken care of just the same as all the rest of my piercings- with saline.
Popular surface piercings include:
* Hip piercings
* Clavicle piercings
* Wrist piercings
* Corset piercings
A safe and more long term alternative to surface piercings are microdermal implants. These are a little more complicated in regards to the implant and removal, but they last much longer and are more prone to healing.
If you opt to get a surface piercing, make sure that the piercer is knowledgeable, has done the piercing before, and has the proper jewelry. You do not want a surface piercing with a straight barbell or curved barbell. You want a surface barbell or tygon.
