?????NAPE PIERCING?????

Question

Does anyone think this is an attractive piercing? I'm thinking about getting one. Also, for anyone who has one how bad does it hurt and how much did it cost?

Answer 1

I like them,but wont get them.They are a surface piercing and such,they tend to reject almost all the time..Better just not to get them,cause you will have scars and they are hard to clean cause they are on the back of your neck lol

Answer 2

I think it's attractive but it'd be stupid if I didn't because I have my nape pierced. I've had people think it's weird looking and get a bit grossed out about it but I've never had anyone be rude about it. In fact, I had some random people ask me about it yesterday and compliment on how cool it looked.

The biggest advice I can give you is this....find a good piercer. Look at their portfolios and ask them to see pictures of healed surface piercings that they have done. People think that all surface piercings will reject. This is a myth. If done correctly, they should have a low chance of rejection. They just have a higher chance of rejection than regular piercings. I have just hit month 8 on having my nape pierced - it has it's little flare ups of problems (last week was one, for about a week it hurt a bit and had a small bump and crusties - but that is gone now) so it's not completely healed but it is doing very very well. It's a piercing that you have to commit to taking care of.

Everyone thinks I am crazy when I say this but my nape piercing hurt no more than my lobe piercings which didn't really hurt at all. The only thing that hurt was a quick pinch of the jewelry getting pushed in. I have an amazing piercer that did a great job. He calmed me down and I thought it was going to be the most painful thing of my life (I had 13 other piercings at the time and thought my nape was going to hurt more than all of them combined) but it was so simple. During the main healing period it didn't really hurt that much. It was sore when I laughed or moved my head side to side but it never really gave me a lot of pain.

I wouldn't trust a piercer that does a surface piercing for a cheap amount. I got two piercings the day I got my nape pierced and I bought some jewelry and spent $120 on all of it...but I had a regular customer discount. The price for a nape piercing at the studio I go to (which is sadly halfway across the country from me) is $80. The one place around me that I would trust to do a surface piercing charges $35 for the piercing and $60 for the jewelry - so $95. They definitely aren't cheap.

Hope I've helped. :)

I personally dont have one, but a friend of mine did. It cost her $30, and she said the only painful part was the needle coming back out on the other side. It looked really good, but it got taken out when she was in hospital.

If you want it then i say go for it!

All the best

Answer 4

i believe it hurts alot since nap area is the most sensitive part of a woman body =X and not really attractive in my eyes rather have a cute smile and a mind of your own =)

Answer 5

i heard it hurts alot and no its not atractive  

Answer 6

I believe if it means something to you-get it.

But i don't think it's attractive.

I like piercings on the front of your body so you can play with it and it's not so uncomfortable.

Answer 7

eh its not really attractive, but its not ugly either, it may gross some people out though. but its easily hidden. its not really the pain of getting it done, as much as the discomfort afterwards trying to sleep and all.
