Hip piercings are getting more and more popular. They are very
modern piercings, recently these become very popular.
This type of piercing is a surface piercing placed in the pelvic
area near the hip bone. Usually people like to get matching hip
piercings on both sides, just because it looks better and more
symmetric.
Hip piercings are usually performed using a newer procedure called
'punch and taper' or 'trans dermal implants' using a surface
piercing.
This method reduces the trauma on the skin at the entry and exit
way of the pierced area therefore leading to faster healing time
and a smaller chance of piercing rejection.
The entry and exit area of the piercing is done with a dermal punch
which is a cylindrical blade that removes tissue. The whole procedure takes a few minutes from when the entry way
is performed until the jewelery is placed in.
Like any other piercing there are certain risks of infection
involved this is why proper care is needed.
When you decide to get a hip piercing make sure that is is performed by an experienced piercing artist. Do not perform this procedure at home because you might risk hurting yourself, scarring and infection.
Make sure your piercing is made of titanium or surgical steel
just because they are considered to be the best.
