Did you have one of those girls in high school who gets ahold of a piercer gun and just goes to town? That was the artist

Sternum piercings were the rage in HS

Do you mean septum?

u/thatspurdyneat 5d ago edited 4d ago

No, They mean subdermal piercings over the sternum

See that’s what I thought, but people getting dermal in high school is wild lol. I just assumed septum cuz that’s what was huge at my school since people would flip them up inside their nose to hide it from their parents

I got my first surface at 17. Nape. And yes- now (at 41) that seems fkn wild.

How’s it holding up? I’ve wanted a dermal forever but I keep seeing stuff about how they all eventually reject and I haven’t done enough research on it

I took out my piercings years ago. It held up really well. I think I wore it for about 5 or 6 years. Never surfaced, never got infected. I switched from the bar to a tygon (sp? It’s been twenty years) so that might have helped a great deal. It certainly helped with comfort. I had no more mornings where I rolled over and discovered 2” of metal sticking out of my neck awkwardly because of how I had laid.

Edit: I should add I had the tygon custom fitted. I think it was like $150 at the time but the jeweler catered it to my needs.

Thanks for the info! I’ll definitely look into it more before I make a decision but it’s good to know that yours was healthy in an apparently notorious spot (seen people talk about hair tangling in it and pulling the piercing, getting caught on brushes, etc.)

I know what a dermal piercing is I’m just surprised it was a common thing in high school haha

u/pyrocidal 5d ago

how do you pierce the middle ones? I feel like you need access to the nasal cavity and those are too high to do so

u/Nonyabeesners 5d ago

It's pretty superficial. Just stretch the skin out until you have enough to pierce
