What is a flat piercing?

A flat piercing is a type of surface piercing that is done horizontally on the flat surface of the skin, typically on the upper ear cartilage or the flat area above the eyebrow. It is a unique and trendy piercing option that can be customized with different types of jewelry such as flat studs, flat barbells, or flat rings.

Flat piercings can be quite painful and require proper aftercare to prevent infection and promote healing. It is important to choose an experienced piercer who has knowledge of surface piercings and uses sterile equipment to reduce the risk of complications.

Healing time for a flat piercing can vary but typically takes around 6-12 weeks or longer. It is important to avoid bumping or touching the piercing, and to clean it regularly with a saline solution or piercing aftercare product.

Overall, a flat piercing can be a stylish and unique way to express your individuality and add some flair to your appearance.
