“punch & taper” technique pwned
I can now confidently do surface piercings using “square” surface bars and an appropriate piercing technique similar to the “punch and taper” method. But don’t worry, it’s not actually necessary to use a dermal punch- a needle does the job just fine!
If the above is a bit confusing, don’t worry. What you need to know is: I’m still a bigger fan of the microdermals than I am of surfece piercings, as the former usually give the most permanant result. But of course not everybody is looking for permamance. If you’re going to opt for a surface piercing, then in most areas this advanced piercing technique will give you the best chance to avoid the rapid rejection (/growing out) of the jewellery which is such a common problem with surface piercings.
