I really wanted to get surface piercing done in my chest ..?

However, my boyfriend is not approved by the look of it and the scars that may have later. Do not think I should go and do it because it's my body or not I get it done respect thereof?

I could do for you. I have a shotgun.

Surface piercing vs. microdermal?

I am wanting to get a piercing on my chest, over the tight skin on my sternum. My question is what would be a better type of piercing to get there: a surface piercing or two microdermal anchors. It seems that if I get the barbell, the rod would be easily seen under the tight skin.
I am also worried about rejection of the piercing. I remember the first time I had my navel pierced my body rejected it, but the other piercings I have got have been fine. Is there skin type that is prone to be more susceptible to rejection, or is it all about the aftercare of the piercing? I have heard some stories about the piercing rejecting up to a year after they got it, and I am wondering why that would happen… and that is why I’m kinda worried about the microdermal because it is relatively permanent.

Rejection can occur at any time, you can have a piercing for years and then it will reject. Piercings work because they are done in such a way that it is easier for the body to heal around it than to push it out (like a splinter), rejection occurs whenever this balance is upset and can NOT be stopped once started. No one skin type is more prone than another, but some areas of the body are, ones with high movement (hips, wrists) high impact or where the skin is tighter (chest, nape). While aftercare is also important in keeping the balance, if it’s not pierced right to begin with all the aftercare in the world won’t save you.

Surface bars are not barbells, they look like a staple and the ‘bar’ part is actually usually a little flat, it’s not perfectly round (mine aren’t at least). I have 2 on my nape and while I can feel the bars under my skin, you can’t really see them. Surface piercings can take a long time to actually do (20 minutes for one of mine) but they aren’t painful the whole time, so don’t worry (it just takes a while to get the bar through sometimes). Microdermals over all tend to have a much lower rejection rate because they address many of the problems in jewelry design that played a part in rejection, but that doesn’t make them perfect. I find that since they’re a single point piercing, mine doesn’t drain that well and gets puffy and angry easier than my surface bars and stays that way longer. But, the piercing process is shorter and healing time is only 4 months (compared to 8-12+ for surface bars). However, since you are paying for 2 seperate piercings they are usually pretty pricey.

As for removal, surface bars are easier to take out (tire of piercing, rejection, whatever). Microdermals aren’t hard to remove per say (my piercer said that he’s been able to push ones out that were already rejecting with little pain), it’s just a little more complicated (usually, they need to be cut out if you just tire of it).

So…that’s all I can think of for you, hopefully that’s something to help you evaulate the pros and cons of each. If you need more help just ask.
