I'm thinking about getting my hips pierced...

opinions?

kinda strange, since I'm scared of getting my ears pierced. haha
:L

 

I'd get my ears pierced before your hips...

It's kinda like getting a dog before having a baby...
Learning responsibility slowly. And plus your body may reject it... Which will leave scars.

Hip piercings are surface piercings. Need to be handled with a lot of care.

 

maybe ill just load my body up with a bunch of metal all at once. hahaha
naa jk. but you're right.

 

What would those look like?

 

like walking sex.

Looks painful and like something you might regret 10 years from now .

Mom answer aside...looks pretty sexy for a teenager or young adult, sure.

 

I have an anti-eyebrow piercing, which is also a surface piercing. I've had it a month now, I love it and it's healing up great.

Surface piercings require a lot more care than most other kinds of piercings. Their survival depends a lot on where you get it. Getting one done somewhere that has a lot of friction from clothing and movement means that the piercing will reject.

 

ohh those are sick! after they heal are they more durable?

 

It would definitely look good. It doesn't seem like it would scar too bad if you changed your mind and didn't want to wear them after. If they healed good you could probably take them out for doing something where they could snag.

 

Not really, Surface piercings require constant care and maintenance through out their whole life. There's a 6-8 week healing period, but after that point I'll still have to do sea salt soaks and be sure not to touch it or snag it on anything, or it'll reject.

 

ahhh jeeze. well now I'm reconsidering it.
I play water polo so I guess a tight bathing suit would fall into the category of rejection.
ha damn...
ahh well maybe ill still do it. ah the decisions.

 

you could always get dermal implants instead to mimic the look. they have less chance of rejection/migration, and have less pain and healing time

 

ahh yea. are those those like spike things?

 

its a little T shaped anchor that the ball or whatever screws onto it. i might have a pic... yep here ya go

Hip piercings are actually quite coool

 

what in the world....? that hole thing will go into my hip???? ahhhhh

 

Yea, I think if you are going to do it you should get dermals instead. surface piercings, as allready stated, are not the easiest things to heal, and they have a very high rejection rate.

 

the anchors arent as big as they look. they are approx 5mm just long enough to have a good grip. basically they either use a dermal punch or 10g needle to make a small hole and little pocket in the skin and then use pliers to insert the implant. its not very painful at all.

 

i'm into it

 

my friends got her hips done.
sexy as a mofo
