Has anyone ever gotten multiple bridge peircings?

Asked by sunyata_rakshasa (350points) March 5th, 2010

Has anyone ever gotten multiple bridge piercings?

I want to get a set of three barbells down the bridge of my nose…

Is this possible or is the section between the eyes the only part with enough excess skin?

What is the risk of rejection on average?

What are the other risks, besides infection and rejection if any?

If you have a bridge or even better more than one bridge…what is or was your experience?

I’ve never seen this done, but I’d go to a piercing parlor and ask a piercer. They’ll know best. It doesn’t seem like there would be enough skin to me, but then again, I’m not an expert! :)

The risk of eventual rejection with a surface piercing is nearly 100% – in other words, almost all surface piercings will eventually reject. I don’t know the average time of rejection for bridge piercings specifically, but rejection depends more on you than on the piercing. I know people who have had multiple surface piercings for years and years, and others who can’t get a surface piercing at all because they always reject immediately. If you don’t have any other surface piercings, it’s a crap shoot – but I’d get them done one at a time just in case you don’t tolerate them well.

you want to ask at a dedicated bodypiercing forum. you can get a membership with BME, though I think that they charge. for the record, though, if you get microdermals up and down your nose you can get the same effect as a conventional piercing, though I don’t know if that would work in this instance.

thanks @fireinthepriory i always inevitably ask the piercer him/her self…but i like to ask on sites like these to here personal accounts and advice…p.s. never knew that the chance of rejection was 100%...

@Ria777 fabulous idea with the microdermals…why i didn’t think of that i haven’t the faintest
