I used to cut myself, quite alot, exclusively on my left shin. Over the past 6ish months though, I’ve stopped cutting, discovered I’m bipolar, started seeing a therapist and a psychiatrist, taking medication, and am actually emotionally stable. [Wow.]

My question is: On my shin, I’d like to get an arrangement of surface piercings in the shape of a star. Is it even possible to heal surface piercings there? Would the amount of scar tissue affect healing all that much?

The basic rule of surface piercings using surface bars is this. Make dots where the entry and exit points will go. If at any point in your bodies movement the spacing between the dots varies, it will not likely heal.

Tygon can be used to allow some flexibility, but that’s not a real likely heal either.

Your current scarring could be detrimental or it could be used for some OLD SCHOOL scar and brace surface piercing (look it up on BME if you aren’t familiar with that concept).

It’s not likely to heal at all, but if you go in it knowing that and accepting the fact it will likely cause more scarring, go for it. Far less likely things have healed.
