What is wrist piercings?

Wrist piercing is a type of body piercing that involves the insertion of jewelry through the skin and tissue of the wrist. This type of piercing is a surface piercing and is relatively uncommon compared to other types of piercings.

Wrist piercings are usually done on the back of the wrist, with the jewelry being placed horizontally or diagonally across the wrist. The most common jewelry used for this type of piercing are curved barbells, captive bead rings, or surface bars.

The healing time for a wrist piercing can vary, but it generally takes about 6-12 weeks. During this time, it is important to take proper care of the piercing, avoid exposing it to irritants, and keep the area clean and dry.

There is some risk involved with wrist piercings, as the skin in this area is thin and the piercing can be easily irritated or infected. Some other risks associated with wrist piercings include rejection and scarring. It is important to choose a reputable piercer and follow their aftercare instructions carefully to minimize these risks.
