i think the piercing is hot when you think about it its very creative
12 March, 2008 at 8:12 am
Not all that creative, its actually very common.
im rather skinny myself (ana sucks.) but I had my nape pierced, They had to pierce higher then normal to keep it from hitting bones, because if its placed over bones it will reject to easy, and you have to eat healthy during healing if you want it to heal and not reject.

I got it done I thought it would hurt but it didn’t at all. I love it and so do all of my friends. I’m the only one in my school that has it. I also have my tragus and my rook done.

I was thinking of getting it done, a few people have said it’l look good others said it wont, how much do u think it’d cost and does it hurt?
xo.

I have ana and I have my nape done. It’s healing fine. I think whether or not you can heal a nape is based more on anatomy than body weight. Some people just don’t have enought skin to hold a surface bar. I was told to pich the back of my neck and then look down. If the skin pops out of your fingers, there’s probably not enough to hold a bar. Placement is key too. Piercing over vertabrae would cause a nape to reject on anyone…whether they have an ED or not. If you really want a surface piercing on your neck, but can’t handle a surface bar, you could always get a microdermal. I haven’t had any major issues with healing piercings due to my diet (my nape was #10) but that’s just my body. We’re all different.
Good luck and stay safe!

On every single site I have read that nape piercings do not hurt. Personally, my nape piercing was the most painful out of all 18 that I have. Luckily it’s healed fine, and of course it might reject one day, but for now it’s happy.
KLG is right, it all depends on your body. Some people just never react well to piercings, if your body doesn’t want it there’s nothing you can do. I personally find that if I get a little run down or have a heavy night out, my nape tells me about it the next day…
Emily, tragus is one of the easiest piercings to do and is virtually pain free.
Jade, I think you should wait. If you’re only 15 then your body is still growing and I imagine you’re doing all sorts of activities which invlove risks for your nape. Leave it a couple of years perhaps. This may sound old and ridiculous, you can always take a piercing out and forget it, but that last thing you want right now is a piercing rejecting on your neck and leaving scars.
At the end of the day, if you think the piercing will look good, then go for it. But be prepared for a time consuming cleaning regime and weeks of worrying about rejection!
Good luck x

testing

okay so i got mine done last july and it was totally worth the pain, but i’m not going to lie that shit hurt and i seriously almost took it out because there was a two month period were i had my hair up trying to keep it off my neck and i couldn’t sleep on my back, if you really take care of it and you believe it’s worth alot of trouble go for it. Mine is fine now and i love it.

ok does it hurt or not? I had my cartlidge done with a gone with a 14 gage and I just thought it was a pinch… So will it hurt (nape surface)
10 October, 2008 at 3:24 pm
I’m thinking about getting my nape pierced also.. Would love it, but I am afraid of the rejection.. Heard that its about the same risk of rejection as a naval piercing.. I have my ears, naval and tongue done, so I think I will be fine.. (tried the pinch test also).. Not sure where to go though.. Anyone know of a good surface piercer around Auburn, WA?

Got mine done yesterday. I won’t lie. It hurt more than when I got my nipples pierced. Anyway, be sure to take care of it and keep washing it.

i have been reading a lot about the nape piercing and most people have said it doesn’t hurt. if you go to a reputable piercer and take good care of it you will more the likely be good for the migration and rejection. I am thinking about getting this piercing soon, just have to convince my dad to go with me, which i am sure he will seeings as this will be my 22nd piercing & i am only 17, tehe.

So I just got my nape done last week and I think it looks amazing. However out of my 11 piercings (6 on earlobes, tragus, cartilidge, nose, bellybutton and nape) it hurt the most when I was getting it done but it only hurt for like a day after I got it done. All my other piercings took a few weeks to stop hurting. But I love it, I think its one of my prettiest piercings :)

I have been wanting to get my nape pierced for a year. I’ve been holding off on it because I am a competitive athlete. Will daily sweating irritate the piercing?
10 January, 2009 at 4:14 am
i have my nape dun n have dun for almost a year now but its reeaaaly starting to hurt. Its always bin a bit inflamed around 1 hole but it never gave me any trouble. Now its red and i can’t touch it because it just hurts rely bad and the bar feels bruisd and swollen almost. i dont know what to do because i love my nape soo much and wil do anything to keep it in i just dont kno what! plees help..isit rejecting!? ):
10 January, 2009 at 4:16 am
also i never new diet could affect it,obviously as iv had it a while iv got through the healing process but i turned vegetarian last week and it may sound stupid but could that be affecting it because it was fine before then!
29 April, 2009 at 4:26 am
LOL @ You’s.
Why think about it?
Seriously just get it done, anyone who says it doesn’t hurt is lying.. if you can get your industrial done, you can get anything. [=
And as for that 15 year old, Jade, you asked what us “lot” thought. I think you’re an idiot.
-Sigh- People like you DISGUST me.

i just got my nape pierced yesterday
and i love it
its so worth the pain
13 May, 2009 at 1:08 pm
hey i got my tragus and my belly button and my ears done. i am only 15 and i got my belly button done when i was 12. And i just got a tattoo on my ankle bone. I aint gonna lie the tragus was the most pain ful and the tattooo and belly button didnt even hurt. I was wondering if you guys think i would be able to get my nape done if i was able to go through all the pain of getting my tragus done?

I have 2, 2″ bars in my nape. It was the least painful of my 6 piercings, but it was uncomfortable at first, putting on shirts, sleeping, etc. Anyone that has a tattoo can pierce their nape, a tattoo is like getting pierced 100 times at once. But if you do get it pierced be prepared to wait a long time for it to heal…
29 August, 2009 at 8:47 pm
you guys saying you’re 15 and have like lots of piercings sounds pathetic… ok you’re young, come here and rattle about them… show offs

hmmm i’m thinking about getting it done it’s such a beautiful piercing. i was going to get a surface piercing in my cleavage but instead i got a microdermal, so i think my next move is getting my nape pierced but hopefully it won’t reject if i look after it right lol anyways good luck to everyone else’s piercings :)
