Hip and Collar bone piercings

[DivingCheska]

Which one should I get first I'm gonna get both and should I get dermals or bars for the collarbones?

I'd go with dermals for the collar bone piercings. Dermals have a higher success rate than bars do. Bars are just more prone to failing with your skin, while dermals you won't have much of a problem with unless you're allergic to certain jewelry types (Some are allergic to fake jewelry).

Whichever one you get first is entirely up to you. You should go with whichever one you think will hurt the worst, and get it out of the way. When you get them done, make sure you wear loose clothing while they heal. If you wear tight fitting shirts or jeans, it will likely cause irritation due to the rubbing against the piercings.

Don't to the bars. They have a high rate of rejection. Not saying dermal anchors can't reject, because they can, but the rate is a lot lower. I've had my dermal for over a year now and no problems. I know at our shop we always warn people of issues with hip and even collar bone dermals. We will do them, as long as you are aware of the fact they can get ripped out by pants, shirts, etc catching on them. So you have to be extra careful with them and around them. Ultimately it's up to you, but if you're going to do them, go with dermal anchors and not bar surface piercings.

Bars tend to migrate more and can reject, which basically means your skin will push it up and out. With dermals, its in deeper and with an anchor which helps to keep it in for longer.

I think Hip ones are really sexy and not too keen on the collar bone. You gotta think if you are a very skinny person it will reject from the body and leave some nasty scares. and theres your money gone. was going to get my hips done but thought about it long and hard and thought best not too - but if thats what you want go for it x
