Hand piercing is the piercing of the skin in the area of the fingers, hand, forearm. The method of decoration is suitable for people who have patience and willpower. It takes a long time for the piercing to heal, during which it is haunted by severe pain. The discomfort comes with every movement, and if we take into account that we move our hands constantly, we will have to endure it every minute. It hurts from contact with water, while putting on clothes, etc. There is a high risk of infection of the wound, so careful care is required.
What is and features of hand piercings
This type of piercing has no age restrictions and is suitable for absolutely everyone. Punctures can be made anywhere on the hands. Rods and microdermals are most often used for decoration.
In this case, it is important to show imagination and choose a good experienced master, who will correctly place the earring. The thick skin of the hands is difficult to pierce. There is a large accumulation of active bio-points, nerve endings and blood vessels, so experts prefer to do a flat piercing on the hands, so as not to cause accidental damage.
According to statistics, 1 in 5 piercings do not take root, but the hand is so difficult and unsuitable for this place, that only 20-25% are left to take root. In many cases, the hole begins to fester, reject the earring and eventually the skin breaks up or the owner of the piercing himself removes the jewelry from the hole.
Ornaments for arm piercings
For the primary healing, a 10 mm long micro-banana is placed with various twists (most often with titanium balls). The piercing looks interesting when a small cluster is placed in the upper part of the jewelry. In the healed piercing, small rings look unusual. Jewelry for the piercing rook important to choose and the material - neoktori alloys such as jewelery gold, medical steel and silver are composed of nickel, which in a fresh piercing very quickly begins to oxidize, which leads to inflammation and other unpleasant consequences. Titanium jewelry is ideal, as it is one of the most hypoallergenic metals at the moment.
How does the piercing of the hand and finger happen?
Before you decide to pierce your hand, carefully weigh the advantages and disadvantages of the procedure. It is not recommended to do it yourself, it is better to entrust the matter to a professional.
When choosing a salon, it is important to consider the reputation and customer reviews. Before you start, make sure that the needles are disposable and sterile, and that the selected jewelry has been autoclaved along with the tools.
The earring is chosen in advance, as the master needs to select the size (diameter) of the needle and properly make the piercing.
The main steps:
- The master jointly with the client chooses the place of the future location of the jewelry.
- The specialist wears sterile gloves and prepares instruments.
- The site of the puncture is disinfected.
- With the help of a panch, a disposable round scalpel, two holes are cut into an area of the skin through which the flat rod will pass. If microdermals are chosen for insertion, the hole is made with a needle. Under the layer of epidermis incisions are made in two different directions, so that the flat part of the earring can be clearly positioned inside the skin.
- The installation of a decorative product is carried out.
- The treatment is done with an antiseptic solution.
The procedure is painful, so anesthesia is administered at the client's request. In case of an allergic reaction to anesthetics, you can use an alternative option - putting ice on the puncture site for a few minutes.
At the end of the work, the master will provide detailed recommendations on care and possible consequences.

Unlike other types of piercings, the Monroe piercing is less painful because of the thinness of the tissue and the small number of nerves in this area of the body. However, there is a small risk of hitting the upper lip artery located just above the upper lip.
Mostly this piercing is done by women, however, there are fans among men as well.
The Monroe piercing is also called the Madonna or Crawford piercing, in honor of the famous owners of the mole in the mouth area - Marilyn Monroe, Madonna and Cindy Crawford.

Care and precautions
The work of the master is over and now the owner is responsible for the healing of the piercing. The damage requires special care until the moment of complete healing. If you violate the prescribed recommendations, the regeneration will proceed with complications.
- In the first two to three days after the mini-surgery, it is necessary to regularly tape the wound to prevent dirt, dust and water from getting into it.
- For 7 days, avoid accidental contact with clothing or any objects. It is important to keep the wound alone.
- During the first 24 hours it is forbidden to wet the finger or wrist piercing.
- Throughout the healing period, it is not recommended to swim in a pool, open water, in the sea.
- Treatment of the hole with an antiseptic solution is required daily. Medications such as Chlorhexidine and Miramistine are indicated for this purpose. Tea tree oil has good antiseptic and regenerating properties. diluted with distilled water. Before treatment, all areas of the hands should be thoroughly washed with warm water and detergent and treated with an antiseptic.
- It is not recommended to change the top tips on the earrings until they are completely healed. It is important to make sure that the microdermal opening is completely healed and that the rod is engrafted. The time of full recovery depends on the individual characteristics of the body, but on average lasts no longer than 6 months.
In the first 2-3 months, you should be especially careful with the piercing, as there is a high risk of inflammation, infection and rejection.
As a result of complications, scars may remain between the fingers and in other places on the hand, which can be removed by special laser surgery. If swelling, suppuration, yellowing of the skin around the jewelry appears, you should immediately contact a medical facility for timely treatment. The product will need to be removed.
Eyeball Piercing
Many ophthalmologists argue that implanting this kind of jewelry in the eyeball can lead to undesirable consequences, such as scars and bleeding. But there are also specialists who do not see the danger in this procedure at all, for example, in Holland the Clinic of Modern Ophthalmology of the City of London. In Rotterdam, they perform similar procedures and implant miniature jewelry. They assure people of the absolute harmlessness and absence of any complications.
This procedure is performed with 3.5 mm wide platinum plates of different shapes, a heart, a cross or a crescent. They are implanted into the front side of the eyeball or in the mucous membrane (conjunctiva) that covers the inner surface of the eyelid. The procedure is done under local anesthesia (anesthetic drops). The operation is done under a microscope and takes about 15 minutes. The cost of the operation ranges from about $600. You should think carefully before having this surgery, because the tissue of the mucous membrane of the eye is very unstable, an implanted jewelry can move, and the movement can cause irritation, scarring or bleeding.
How to choose a microdermal
Choosing a piece of jewelry is a responsible step. It is important to have a clear idea not only about the size and shape of the earring, but also about the material from which it will be made. If you decide to install a microdermal on your finger or hand in the salon, a professional will help you make the right choice and advise you on the best options.
If you select the product yourself, you should know the important points. Forever forget about the products of surgical steel. For this type of piercing this material is absolutely not suitable, because it contains nickel alloys that cause rejection and when entering the blood and lymph promote the development of complications. The safest microdermals are made of titanium with ASTM marking. The jewelry does not oxidize, which means the body will not reject it, which promotes better wound healing.
Piercing with a diamond
Piercing is a very ancient art, but it has changed and modified a lot from ancient times to the present day. Creative young people are becoming more and more fond of dermal piercings. Dermal piercings have one piercing point and do not come out, which differs from conventional piercings.
A diamond on an elegant finger always looks impressive and eye-catching, but the procedure of implanting the jewelry is very painful and unpleasant.
An anchor-shaped implant is placed under the skin of the finger with one or more diamonds attached to the top of the implant showing outside. Ring finger piercing resonated with some newlyweds and inspired them to replace traditional wedding rings with ultra-modern dermal piercings.
Fashion is running forward by leaps and bounds and for fans of the exotic and thrill seekers there is a new option - finger piercing instead of a wedding ring.

It can be a ring, partially passing under the skin of the finger or an implanted gem. This strange idea has found itself both ardent opponents and admirers, who consider finger piercing the most trendy and flamboyant.
Features of the procedure
The piercing of the clavicle is performed in several stages:
- Decontamination of the area of application
- Incision with subsequent formation of a niche for the "anchor" of the earring
- Insertion of the pin plate
- Threading of the upper part
The size of the microdermal in relation to the coin and the classic bar.
Clavicle piercing is one of the most painless piercings, but if the client wishes, anesthesia is performed with ointments or sprays. The procedure itself takes 3-5 minutes.
Suspension or Hooks Under the Skin Piercing
The most terrifying and reckless type of piercing, designed to provide a thrill. This procedure can use open hooks and closed ones having a lock. The latter are inaccessible because they are expensive. The use of hooks with a lock increases the load capacity and a more secure hold, while open hooks can cause the suspended body to slip, which is unacceptable because the action is at a height. Still, conventional hooks win favor for their cheapness.
The suspension procedure is quite dangerous. It is necessary to make a correct puncture of the skin along with fatty tissue, 2-3 cm thick. In hanging, this is the most important thing, only a uniformly made puncture will be able to withstand the load and leave you without tearing the skin. But you cannot avoid hematomas after such a procedure.
History of origins
Body piercing appeared long ago, in ancient times. Back then, members of the oldest communities expressed their belonging to a certain class through the piercing of the nose, ears, eyebrows, lips and more. Each settlement's modification sites had their own specific meaning.

At that time, small bones, stones and sticks were inserted into the piercing area, which were replaced by iron, and later by jewelry that exists to this day.
For example, in Egypt, priestesses who served in the temples, and even men made piercings on the body in the area of the navel. This way they showed their high position among society.
In Rome, the piercings were made on the nipples, and on men. This modification indicated patience, fearlessness, courage and bravery in front of enemies.
In India, on the other hand, girls still wear a ring in their nose, thus showing their married status.
How the earring is attached between the clavicles
The piercing between the collarbones, like all microdermals, is attached to a small base fixed in a recess under the skin, and does not change position while being worn.
In addition to microdermal piercings on the clavicles, a surface piercing is used, which connects the two piercings with a subcutaneous rod. When it is worn, there is a high chance of rejection, in which the earring quickly rises from the skin or inflammation occurs.
Flat piercings are suitable for people who understand the importance of proper healing and the peculiarities of wearing microdermals. Those who are not ready to take care of the wounds for several months and attend cleanings afterwards can use pendants on silicone pendants, the straps of which are not visible on the skin, or adhesive clips that look identical to the subcutaneous jewelry.
How to prepare for a piercing?
Preparing for your piercing day will help minimize pain and discomfort.
First, think about your lifestyle and whether you want to change it up a bit for the dream piercing you're about to get. Piercings will definitely affect your daily life for at least a month or so.
For example, your hair can be the deciding factor when it comes to industrial piercings. Horizontal piercings tend to get stuck in long hair. Stuck jewelry in the hair can irritate the piercing, increasing the likelihood of ear infection. If you have long hair, it is best to style it before the process and while the piercing is healing so that it does not cling to the barbell.
You should also wear loose and comfortable clothing on the day of the piercing. Earrings can snag on clothing, open the wound and become a breeding ground for bacteria.
Follow these tips and recommendations for at least one month to prevent piercing infections.
