So yes this is my belly, These are my hip scars. I noticed a post in the hip piercing tags warning against hip piercings because of the scars, as far as I am concerned if you are interested in a piercing the first thing you should do is find out what it looks like in worst case scenarios. As well you should find out what the scars look like. These are what hip piercing scars look like that did NOT reject these are best case scenario what hip piercing scars look like. Mine were taken out because a doctor wrenched on them 5 months in and they went rancid in 12 hours. My piercer took them out before they actually started to reject and were just horribly infected.  These are the most adorable scars I have and I love them.  I do plan on getting them re-pierced I love them more than you could imagine loving a body mod. 

I ONLY RECOMMEND THIS PIERCING THOUGH IF…

• You have researched it fully. 
• You have found the most disgusting rejection pictures possible of hip piercings because that could be your body.
• You have watched the videos of people getting it done. Not to psych yourself out but to make sure you understand the process.
• Talked to your piercer to find out if they will do micro dermals or bars. Aswell if they meet your standards. If they only do bars and you want dermals talk to them find out WHY they won’t.
• Thought about it for a solid six months.  I personally have a scrawny body so I didn’t worry about if i was too heavy for it but it is something to take into consideration.
• Thought about the placement. My piercer and I spent and hour finding the perfect placement I knew I wanted farther apart and angled. From there I let Nick do what he’s good at. We figured out where my pants ride, since it was summer i carved apart a hand full of shirts so they wouldn’t catch on it so they had a chance to heal.

If after all this you still want them go get hip piercings but they aren’t for the light hearted.  After they’re pierced it is difficult to move around seat belts may save your life but the first week are not your friend (or they weren’t mine at least).   Hip piercings are considered a temporary piercing but if you take care of them you can have them for a long time.  If you have any questions about mine feel free to ask box me (anon or not)  oh and for the record mine were surface bars not microdermals under my piercers recommendation. mine were in such good shape because I never touched them unless i was changing the beads. As well I went to my piercer ever other week to make sure their was no problems with them.
