Does anyone have information on clavicle (collarbone) surface piercings?
Hello! Clavicle piercings are very beautiful. I was thinking of getting them myself and asked my piercer (who I've been going to for the last 2 years). He immediately told me that surface piercings (with a surface bar) aren't a good idea for these types of piercings because the rejection rate for the surface bar in these locations is very high. He recommended a microdermal implant which is meant to heal with your skin and has a much smaller rejection rate. The second thing he told me was that the clavicle bones aren't the best place for these types of piercings because when you lift your arms up and move around your skin can move over your bones and push the piercing out, however there are many successful cases, he was just giving me the info. What he told me to do was purchase some stick on jewelry and place them where I wanted my piercings, wear them around all day and see if they fell off or moved around my bone at all. He ended up being right and I ended up deciding to get one microdermal in between those bones. He told me more toward the center is better, so I went DEAD center! LOL. Cost depends on the grade of jewelry you get and the individual piercer. I've seen them range from $20 each to $100 a pop! Good luck with your piercing! I hope this was somewhat helpful.
