How long do surface piercing last?

Question

I'm turning 18 soon and to honor the memory of me breaking my lower back (instead of a tattoo) I wanted a piercing on my L5 (the part I shattered) But I heard they only last about 2 years before "backing out" Any advice on how to reduce the risk of backing out and anything else?

Answer 1

Well, surfacing piercings reject no matter what. It just takes time. It can reject as soon as 5 months. Theres not really any certain time set for them.

You could get microdermals.

They look like surface piercings. They do tend to hurt a little more to get done.

But its way less likely that they will reject.

hope I helped.

good luck. :]
