Ears or lips are the most common places for piercings, but some people prefer unconventional piercings. Today we’ll explain which areas are less common and what care they require.
As always, our fundamental recommendation is to look for a reliable and safe studio. Our tattoo shop in central Madrid meets all sanitary requirements, and we also have the best piercing and tattoo artists.
Areas for unconventional piercings
These types of piercings are aesthetically very interesting, but they can present a higher risk of rejection and infection than other piercings.
As long as you go to an authorized and experienced professional, like the team at 222 Tattoo Madrid, you can be confident that your skin is in good hands.
Exploring these areas is a way to stand out, challenge traditional norms, and give a unique and personal touch to your body.
Would you wear a piercing in any of these areas?
-
Nape: The surface piercing is placed on the back of the neck. It can also be placed on the collarbones, shoulder blades, hips, or abdomen, that is, on flat areas of the body. These piercings carry a high risk of rejection due to constant friction in daily life. It is very important to use appropriate jewelry and strictly follow the care instructions given in the studio.
-
Fingers: Surface, dermal, and microdermal piercings can also be placed here. When on the hands, they are usually located at the base of the fingers or joints. Since we use our hands constantly, the care for these piercings must be extreme until fully healed. It is essential to keep hands clean and avoid unnecessary bumps and friction.
-
Gums: Gum or “smiley piercings” are placed on the upper gums, specifically the frenulum. This piercing requires careful attention due to the high risk of infection, as it is in constant contact with mouth bacteria. All you need to do, as in other cases, is maintain good hygiene, be careful when brushing your teeth, and avoid foods that can irritate the area.
There are also genital piercings, which can be placed on both female and male genitalia. These are unconventional piercings that require more meticulous care.
The same applies to nipple piercings, which, due to constant friction from clothing, have a higher risk of rejection. However, all these piercings can succeed if the piercing technique is correct and the care instructions are strictly followed.
