Surface piercing

Surface piercings are piercings that are found on flat parts of the body, giving a double-pierced look that sits flat against the skin.

They are the most likely to be rejected as they only break through small amounts of skin.

The body will push it to the surface of the skin causing it to "grow out".

A healed surface piercing can last from a few months to a lifetime.
