How long does sternum piercings last?

I have a belly button piercing and I love it. But I was wondering if it will look ok with my navel done and will the sternum piercing last forever?

LOL at what hippiepeaceprincess said. There’s no such thing as a ‘’deep piercing’’ when it comes to your sternum. Your sternum is a major bone, and a long one at that. Any piercing there stays above it and there’s usually not much muscle there, so it’s a surface piercing either way you look at it. It’s not like they’re able to pierce THROUGH the bone, or even go under it like she’s insinuating. AND it’s chances of getting infected are the same as any piercing… But it WILL reject at some point, there’s no getting around that.

I think it’d look fine, some might not think so… All that matters is what YOU think.

As for the sternum piercing, it’s a surface piercing so it’s not going to last forever.

You can either get it done with the bar that goes through the skin. Or you can get it with a microdermal.

Microdermals are more expensive (about double the price of the bar), but they last a lot longer. With the bar on a surface piercing like the sternun, you’ll be lucky if it doesn’t reject within a year. With a microdermal, they usually reject within 3-5 years…

Plus the scar that you’d get with a microdermal will be a lot smaller then the scar you’d get from the bar.

Answer #2

Depends if your getting a deep piercing which does under the sternum or if your just getting a surface piercing. If it’s just a surface piercing no it will not last forever and if it’s a deep piercing yes but it has a chance of gettin infected or your body rejecting it still.

Answer #3

what the hell is a sternum piercing???

Answer #4

My sternum has lasted 8 months and is fine, sometimes plays up though. I have a microdermal in my hand, they are also good for sternums mines lasted 4 months now :).
