I haven’t any piercings except ears and a scarred over belly button…So I’m pretty new at this but have in mind what I want when I am able to get it. I was looking at the hip piercings and pocketings and I was wondering three things..How exactly do they do the piercings? What are the chances of them falling out or pulling out? And… I read a story about a girl who got the balls implanted (basically the bar was backwards), what are the chances of that pulling out?
Thanks,
Kyla
You’ve got three questions, so here’s three answers for you…
1.) These piercings can be done a few ways, but the two most common methods are by needle or punch & taper. Different piercers will use different methods, so be sure to check out their portfolio to see what kind of experience they have and what outcomes are achieved.
2.) The likelihood of the jewelry “pulling out” will mainly depend on how you adapt to having your new jewelry in place. One issue that comes to mind with this specific hip placement will be clothing rubbing and putting pressure on your jewelry. I’m sure that healing any jewelry in this location will not be easy, so take this into consideration when choosing the location. If the work is done well and you are very careful through your healing, these could have the potential to heal well and last.
3.) As for your last question, I’m unsure of exactly what the girl you are referring to has had done. It could be implants, it could be staples. If you’d care to elaborate further in the comment forum, we’ll gladly assist you further.

The girl who had the balls implanted basically had a pocketing done but instead of the smooth ends of the bar she had the balls inside..What the piercer did was make an incision. insert the balls with the bar showing, and suture around the balls so that the skin healed over them. And if they pierce by needle they have to basically slide it under the skin for the entire length, they would use two clamps then? Haha.

Russ Foxx on May 7th, 2008 at 2:47 pmI would also say that for someone who has so little experience healing piercings you might want to do LOTS of research before you decide to go for a surface piercing and/or implants. They’re harder to look after and you really need to know what problems could pop up on you with healing,be able to recognize signs of rejection, and know what might happen if/when they do reject and how implants are removed. (I’m not a piercer but I do hang out at a piercing shop a lot, and I’m noticing a lot of people coming in to get surface work or anchors that haven’t looked into them at all, and I think it’s a bad idea
