Hand piercings, piercings for fingers and piercings for hands on the Internet are all very rare and quite extreme. In fact, if you are even thinking about getting one of these piercings, you are truly one of the brave ones. Variants of pain, and in fact there is usually minimal pain associated with the piercing, but follow-up on these special piercings is for strict purposes only.
Your hands are two of the most active places in your body. They are constantly in motion, they are full of microbes, and they are very sensitive (all those nerves that pass through our hands help the brain to process pain, pleasure and temperature). A modern phenomenon is getting surfaces on your hands. I am not against these piercings at all, but more than most piercings, it is important that you understand the risks before performing the piercings.
Manual piercings are all superficial piercings, so they are susceptible to ordinary suspects - migration and rejection. Your hands are full of muscles, tendons and nerves, so the constant movement of your hands just does not work in your favor. As a rule, the less the piercing area is disturbed, the faster and more successful the healing. With hand piercing you will not have the luxury of holding your hand “protected”. It will be exposed to the elements, germs, daily stresses and abuses immediately. For this reason, only get a piercing if you are ready to do the following.
First of all, you must clean it religiously. Your piercer will recommend to clean it about three times a day using warm saline - do not skip this step! The saline helps keep the piercing site clean and free of build-up. You will have special instructions regarding which soap you can use, which moisturizer you can use, which liquids or gels you cannot put on your hands (neosporin is always a no-no), indefinitely. Smoking is definitely not recommended with hand piercings, as cigarette smoke, which will inevitably drift around, will irritate your new piercing and prolong healing. You should also be sure that the piercing site will be clean, not only from germs, but from dirt, debris, food, etc. Remember that you have a very thin piercing that is being attacked from all sides, so be careful!
Your lifestyle can change during the healing period. In addition to not smoking, you should not wear gloves (they can break the piercing) or engage in any activity that could jeopardize your hands. If your career is heavily dependent on the use of your hands, you may think about doing one of these piercings unnecessarily careful. This daily life will be affected by this piercing for at least a year — this is the total healing time. If you have never had a piercing before, this is probably not a good start!
Now that the risks are known and you still want to go forward, this is what you can expect! To start, do not pierce the ring or hoop. You are just beggars to get ripped off! Your hands touch too many objects every day, and a ring protruding from something gets trapped and it disappears before you know it. Your piercing, and you decide whether it is better for your piercing site to use surfaces or curved rods (which is largely determined by the shape of your hands, the exact location and way of life). Often you have to come back a couple of months after the piercing, because the swings should have dropped so much that you may need new jewelry to lie closer to the skin.
For manual piercing, the location can be almost anywhere. Surface rods will almost always be used, and the pain may be a little intense. The risk of rejection is high because it does not penetrate much skin or tissue, but with care it can be a reliable piercing.
Finger piercing usually does not hurt almost as much as they look, but they also have a high risk of migration. Usually punch in the base of the finger to look like a ring, surface rods or rods are used. The finger will swell after the piercing and is highly susceptible to infection, but by following the correct post-operative care and being very careful, you can simply make this piercing the last good one for a long time.
Manual spider piercings can be the most popular in manual piercings - the band between the fingers (especially between the thumb and index finger) is very thin and it is not difficult to push the barbell. It also carries failure and migration, and infection is a very real possibility. This piercing should not affect your mobility (none of these piercings should affect any of your body functions), but manual nets are the main points of acupuncture treatment, so if you talk to an acupuncturist, they probably will not get you from the piercing area. There is no Western scientific evidence that piercing your hand cloths can hurt you, but if you follow Eastern medicine and science, you may want to keep spider piercings.
In general, the piercing on the hand is quite extreme. They require constant care, zealous protection, regular cleaning, and even then it is no guarantee that these piercings will last. However, if you want to push the boundaries and your lifestyle, you can try to get a piercing on your arm. For many people who successfully use it, this is their favorite piercing!
