Collar bone piercing

I just want to know..

How painful it would be to get a surface piercing on my collar bone, how long does it take to heal and any other details.

If I was to get it done... I'd get maybe 4 on one collar bone. What do you think?

I felt a tad ill after watching some people get it done on YT. Any advise!?? :woo:

So you want to go out of your way to look revolting?
Looks painful, and cool :smile:
I guess i personally feel the pain would outweight the coolness, :/
But if you get it, let me know? :smile:

I'm guessing quite a few guys don't like the thought of it too much. Girls not quite so much. I thought of the collar bone because its different. Lip, navel, ear.. its too common. I'm striving to be different here...

i personally like it. go read some experiences on BME, microdermals may heal better than surface bars there, as it gets quite a bit of movement.

and naturally take into account that they may well reject, or if not take ages to heal.

How tragic, why not just get yourself a personality instead?

Having a bit of metal in a random place around your body won't make you different though, I don't understand :s-smilie:

I agree with Hazel, painful but cool. Worth giving it a go, few seconds of immediate pain, bit sore after, but could look really cool and well worth it in the long run :smile:

It depends on the person whether it suits them. Best to get anchors, really, as normal surface piercings will just reject after a period of time.

Do you have any pics of what you want done? Like samples?

4 on one may be a bit much? Just think of all those scars afterwards...I have 11 piercings, so I don't generally consider scarring as an issue, but that's a lot of scars on your collarbone, as they will probably reject at some point (and I doubt you'd keep them in until retirement age ha)



I have dermals (in my neck), and it's certainly not too painful.

Very sharp pain (when they initially make the hole), lasts about a minute or 2 with each, and then that's it. Definitely bearable (had them 3 times). Painful but nothing you can't deal with. I wouldn't consider the pain as a factor in deciding to get them or not.

Unless you want them for the rest of your life I suggest you don't, as they 'grow out'.
Scarring is quite bad.
