I Got My First Surface Bar Piercing | Macro Beauty | Refinery29

[@ava2hot19]

That looked so freakin painful but it looks super cute. Love it

[@lucia1982]

I have like 10 piercings in total all in both ears and they are not painful at all the max pain i have felt is 3/10 in my lobe but super painless

[@damiansdrawingdump4674]

@@lucia1982 i think ava is talking about the PROCESS of the SURFACE piercing

[@braxtynnspears]

JUST PUT RHINSTONE STICKERS ON

[@tessa-7700]

I’ve got my surface piercing and it was actually one of my least painful piercings!

[@Nooorrriii]

Just had one done, based off what I felt I think the piercer did a different technique than this video, it is less painful than a cartilage piercing it’s just a different sensation.

[@dayglodoggy]

IT really complements her style. I want her back on to show how she gets her little eyeliner flick so perfect.

[@sherekareed8260]

Same thing I'm wondering

[@terrad5971]

I had my surface on both sides for quite a while now… I love them!! Ppl assume this piercing this was the most painful but surprisingly it’s not.

[@karenyonick2955]

How long have u had yours i just got mine done.any problems healing?

[@yohon6360]

How long do they last? I've had 4 regular individual dermals in total and all rejected rather quickly, all near my cheek bone areas unfortunately

[@elizl2802]

I LOVE this piercing! Unfortunately, I was told my skin is too tight in the area to get one, so I will live vicariously through others.

[@bella-nina]

i’ve missed the piercings vids!

[@sydneykarimi6344]

Me too!

[@LayTheAvocado]

That looks so cool!! She really rocks it and the piercing looks so cool on her :)

[@indigogirl5172]

I thought I would never get this type of piercing, but after seeing this. I want it now. Really pretty

[@rekakleinwiecherink8671]

Did you get one?? :)

[@ejsantiago2016]

Okay can we get an update how she's doing rn? Coz I've been wanting to have this piercing but I've seen a lot of fails like piercing rejection 😩

[@iamliljas]

I have the piercing, all you have to do is make sure you have stretchy skin and your eligible for it.

[@lunizzima]

I've had both side pierced for 12 years ..no issues here

[@Llyissibel]

The ugly rejecting ones that I saw were usually done with a curved barbell and those are not meant to be for this piercing. The surface bar used in this video is much better.

[@Alejandro-oo6kw]

This is the best method and jewelry for this type of piercing. I got mine done this way 2 months ago and so far it’s been doing great.No rejecting and I’m always on top of cleaning it. If you do the curved bar bell it’s a higher chance of it rejecting

[@moniquem3738]

I also got my piercing done this way, I wasn't expecting it but I'm glad he did it this way.

[@annaelisavettavonnedozza9607]

The piercer is one of the coolest looking dudes I’ve ever seen & the piercing looks absolutely amazing

[@Emma-xz8fo]

Love his professionalism and precision ❤❤ fire

[@queennubian2573]

Wow, I've never seen it done like this! Very interesting. Beautiful work.

[@barbiedollthompson8074]

I think doing it this way, it’s a slim chance for it to rejects

[@shizahahmad3321]

the whole time I was horrified! Didn't know that's how those piercings were done. But the end product looks great on her.

[@jenkem69]

I love the surface bar look! Hopefully getting this done soon! 😍

[@lizolizowa]

omg I love this! Definitely adding it to the body mod bucket list

[@vibranthang13]

I got my bellybutton pierced about 25 years ago! And I promise I will never do that again, but it still looks amazing!❤ no regrets

[@natifapierre4778]

I have this piercing when I got it done I didnt even know it was done til I asked "are u done" jewellery was already in and no pain whatsoever....I recommend

[@mizanmayangtermize6875]

Omg I love this sooo much. Unfortunately my piercer told me i don't have the anatomy for this :(((

[@mabeliita]

Cool piercing but I was about to faint watching this 🥴

[@birdgalaxy]

It looked very painful to get done but the outcome is beautyful and realy fits her whole style

[@audio91000]

I'm getting this piercing done soon. I'm also getting a dermal anchor right above my navel piercing. I'm excited 😊

[@iiamnijanae35]

I love mine! Tbh this is probably the least painful ( I have my belly, lobes, and both sides of my nose) like it’s highly recommended ( my pain tolerance is low too)

[@terynnorthcutt1993]

I have this piercing and I absolutely love it 😊

[@emilybrusaw6252]

I had my surface tragus done in March and it has since rejected. It was done with a curved barbell, I’m going to let it heal and have it pierced again with a surface bar

[@wannabeDarma]

It is beautiful, but does it accommodate swelling?

[@pinkglitter4258]

I love it! It looks really cool on her❤️❤️

[@nikisuxblood]

I loooove the color of his plugs

[@cierrabrooke3683]

So I’m considering this since it’s better than a curved bar or straight bar BUT I wonder, would 2 dermals work the same? Lol I know it’s completely different but still the same look and still have to use a punch regardless. But with 2 dermals you don’t need the needle. 🤔

[@iwantmyfriescrispynotburnt3981]

I love how they talk like they have never seen or talked to each other first, like a skit. Haha Always ask if they have any allergies. Especially to iodine.

[@saikil3615]

perfectly done

[@humblebee7954]

It’s so cute!

[@MsDiversity3]

I'm in L💙VE with this piercing! 😍

[@ArmeeDerSterne]

Looks amazing. Is nobody going to talk about the piercers fierce shirt/jewelery color scheme?

[@mercygirlrocks]

The O needle? is that like a biopsy punch?

[@carriewhite2378]

Looks nice on her.

[@tanecemiles7221]

Love it! I’ve been wanting to do it! ❤️❤️❤️

[@KellyBKuhns41803]

Okay that's kinda cool. Looks great on her.

[@p.kimberlythomas1255]

It looks beautiful. Just wonder if there was any swelling?

[@rollinthruu]

yes definitely, and the bar he used was too short...

[@festivebiatch]

I had 8 on my chest back in 2005. A friend of mine got a star on her chest at the same time. I’m surprised he didn’t mention a sea salt bath for it. Mine took about 8-9 months to heal

[@andreamarquez9461]

Omg that seems so painful

[@moniquem3738]

Can I see an update on this? To see how her piercing is doing

[@jaceylynn464]

I had this done for like 2 years and ig since I had a curved bar it rejected now I’ve got nothing but pictures and a gnarly scar to show for it ):

[@essjai5D]

Same

[@Mari-tz7ws]

Mine wasn’t done like this, just a needle. And I had a curved barbell… I would say if you’re getting it done with a curved bar, ask for a longer bar than the standard! I find the curved bar feels tighter than the staple bar.

[@plantscatspiercings]

They did you dirty, your will reject with that jewelry. Best to take it out and go somewhere reputable before you get terrible unnecessary scaring :(

[@sanaaniz]

that shit will reject lol goodluck

[@sChick-vy3vi]

Omg, I LOVE IT!!!! 😍

[@ralphtheheadoflettuce7016]

So does this piercing make a healed tube the whole way, or is it raw on the part between the two ends?

[@Anthumsnailbunny]

It heals a scar on the inside like any other piercing

[@loulou1126]

Interesting, looks really cool ! But the procedure.... I am never, ever doing this OwO

[@carnivault]

very cool video, but it’s that the dermis layer not the subcutaneous fat layer? the dermis is white in color while the subcutaneous tissue is usually yellow and “bubbly” textured

[@mackenziewylie9868]

I love this piercing, but now I know that I probably won't get it because my body hates surface/soft tissue piercings. My ears (other than lobes) heal so fast & so well, but anywhere other than cartilage sucks...

[@papertiger5999]

I feel that there is a 0% chance I wouldn't accidently yank this out with my hair D: Cute though.

[@narayanaraorapeti7249]

Very nice

[@nla5307]

Oooooooh my god. Looks rad tho

[@jazmynemartinez9048]

Could you like do two dermals instead to create the same look? Or would that not work

[@just_violet]

"This video contains blood" Ok don't worry, you should see me when I got my first surface piercing

[@amyg8176]

FYI to anyone looking to get these types of piercings- they’re illegal to in some places! Surface piercings/dermals are illegal in Atlanta, for example 🙃

[@amyg8176]

(Because of the punctures it’s considered a “medical” procedure so you have to have a separate medical license to do that, not just a piercing license)

[@eldennoob6229]

That’s not quite right. This law applies to dermal anchors and the use of a certain type of tool “dermal punch” or “biopsy punch” But surface piercings are not dermal anchors. Eyebrow and navel piercings are surface piercings technically for instance, but perfectly legal. (Surface piercings are those where the jewelry lies beneath the surface of the skin, as opposed to going through a piece of tissue like with ears and noses and such)

[@maitaniyama42]

Its only dermals that are illegal, you can still get a surface piercing. As stated previously making that illegal would also make eyebrow and belly button piercings illegal.

[@jaywholoveseveryone1721]

OK. So THAT'S how it's done. I soooo wanted her or him to move her hair out of the way of the piercing.

[@alexavierherbert2481]

They pinned most of it away but I get what you mean, but those baby hairs will be in the way no matter what they’re just rooted so close to the piercing

[@yeerer]

can u share how to clean ur surface piercing?

[@yaborges]

I love it!!!!

[@shabrinaz9877]

I still dont understand how this works.. Maybe bcs I closed my eyes for the good couple of minutes in the middle of the videos... How does this work seriously? Where does the hole go?

its a wire that goes underneath your skin and the two places where it comes out is where you attach the stones

@@eldennoob6229 but around the eyebrows or belly button.. i think theres less flesh to be drilled, wouldnt it? There would be easier for any hardware to dangle OUT, so they would just poke a little bit.. But in here... its so freaking weirdddd like 2 realy large wire near a very dangerous area..

[@Wodenseyes]

This can be incredibly dangerous for someone to do that is not properly trained. If the O Needle or 14g needle goes into the very superficial large vein that is in front of the ear, you could lose a substantial amount of blood, along with getting a deep tissue abscess or infection in that area is extremely serious. Do not attempt this with someone not properly trained
