What is throat piercings?

Throat piercings, also known as surface piercings, are a type of body piercing that involves piercing the skin on the front of the throat or below the Adam's apple. They can be done in various ways, such as with a surface bar, dermal anchor, or microdermal.

Throat piercings are considered to be a high-risk piercing due to the location of the piercing. The throat area contains many important nerves, blood vessels, and glands. The piercing can also interfere with the airflow and swallow reflex, which can lead to potential complications.

The healing time for throat piercings can vary from person to person but can take up to 6 months or longer. It is recommended to avoid strenuous activities and wear loose clothes during the healing process to avoid irritation.

Throat piercings can also be prone to migration and rejection, which is when the piercing moves or is pushed out of the skin. It is important to take good care of the piercing and to avoid touching or manipulating it excessively.

Overall, throat piercings are a unique and daring piercing choice but should only be done by a professional piercer who has experience with surface piercings and can provide proper aftercare instructions.
