Hand Webbing, Broach, Nape and the Third Eye are just a few of the many types of
Surface Piercings. Surface piercings can be done almost at any place. However,
there are certain hazards in case of surface piercings, such as the jewelry snagging
on clothing or the body not accepting the piercing. Such problems are usually faced
when the piercing is new and still in the process of healing. It helps the body
to adjust to the piercing if the pierced area is relaxed while it is healing. Using
jewelry made from a pliant and biologically inert material like PTFE also helps.
Now, 'purpose-built'surface jewelry is also available, which is designed to reduce
stress on the area that is pierced. Surface piercings need more care and cleaning
on account of their position and the stress on the area with daily activities.
