A nipple piercing, informally called a neck piercing, is very new to popular culture. Although this has been accepted for some time in body modification circles, people who are not stereotyped in bod-mod receive piercing punctures. This is a great piercing for many people, because it can be opened or covered according to a particular case with great ease.
This ability to hide or display piercings is a pretty attractive “selling point” for people, and, when done correctly, this piercing can look fantastic. Nape piercings are surface piercings located on the lower part of the neck (although many people get multiple nape piercings that go up the neck), and they are usually pierced with surface strips. Sometimes weights are used, but de rigueur for this area of the body. Once you and your piercer have decided which piece of jewelry is best for you, you will most likely be asked to lie down on the table, hide your shoulders so that the piercing can hold your skin at the base of your neck and your piercing will remain. Before a real piercing happens, you can see where the piercing marked you, and you can adjust the location from there if you want. As soon as the needle passes, the jewels will be fixed and your piercing will be finished! The whole process takes about ten minutes, but the actual action of piercing and insertion of jewelry should not take a minute - it is very fast! Your first jewelry will be a little more to adjust to swelling, but after a couple of months (three months, roughly speaking, give or take), you can replace the jewelry with something more suitable on your neck. There are many different types of jewelry for piercing backing, like any surface bar or bar does.
Piercing at the back of the head, as they are on your neck, should not be tried by amateurs. Even though the risk of nerve damage is virtually non-existent, you don’t want to irritate any nerves or, worse, your spinal cord! - running on the back. A professional piercing will miss all these nerves and you will not have any nerve damage. On the other hand, a drunken friend with a sharp piercing needle is nothing short of an accident waiting to be served. In addition, a professional piercer with experience in occipital piercings will be more adept at properly positioning the piercing, and the depth they pierce will be more successful in preventing migration and rejection.
Migration (where the piercing moves from the starting position) and rejection (where the body literally pushes the piercing) are the two biggest threats to piercing in this area. All surface piercings are installed for migration and rejection, and neck piercings are no exception. However, if your neck is pierced at the right depth, and you follow all the instructions after you leave and use common sense, you have a good chance of getting a successful nape piercing. In addition to thorough cleaning, try not to sleep on it for the first week, do not wear a helmet that lies directly on it, wear and take off shirts delicately, and just be very careful of the area when using a towel to dry. Many people report that the first week is the hardest - you don’t understand how often the back of your neck is used until it is pierced, believe me, but after that the piercing doesn’t hurt.
