sayin that...I've known people with them and they've had them for absolute years and years....so many, I can't remeber them without them, so sometimes, some wouldn't tend to grow out in the space of 2-3 years and you might be lucky...

best advice any one can give you though, is to get yourself off to a decent piercer and ask him/her questions about it...and if they have a portfolio have a rummage through that!

you'd have considerable pain associated with the piercing for the first 2 weeks after getting it

Eh, I didn't. There's a little pinch when you get it done and that's it. And you will not be left with big welts. Tiny little marks if any marks at all. It may eventually grow/trvael out but not for a long time.

Derek, to be frank you're talking through your hole.

Tbh i agree with damien.m. I know some people who have had nuchae for over ten years now i had mine for about four years before i took it out. Just make sure you get the piercer to put a trough bar in it and then get the jewelery refitted once its healed fully and it should be fine

lmao!!
yeah, I didn't think it hurt at all either...
of course...different pain threseholds to everyone...

but there is nothing written in stone that it will reject out...surface piercings often do...but if they are pierced by someone who knows what they are doing, using decent jewerllery(i prefer think and surface bars are the best) and are looked after well...and not just forgotten about after a while, they stand a good chance of healing and staying put...

of course, it is possible after years and years and years they will start to reject...but it's unlikly for someone to have it so long and for that to happen, unless they forget about it totally and stop looking after it...

i'm not saying that from my own experience, its a friend that told me of his; and i've listened to him complaining from the pain it caused him for a while too. and a horrible exudate came from it for a few weeks aswell. and it has migrated out. i can pm you a picture so you can see for yourself. thats why i was sayin to the op about going to a reputable piercer. and there's no need to be ignorant to me either with your last statement. you could have just said you didn't agree with me. if you have another smart remark to make at my expense, just mumble it to yourself, dont bother posting it.

Didnt hurt me either.As a matter of fact id say it was one of the least painful Ive got done.Have it done over a year now and no migration/signs of it growing out.

Damien.M---calm things down a bit-No need for a personal attack like that.

Derek was talking from a friends experience and one thing about piercings is that the pain/healing is relative to the person.
Some people didnt think it was painful(like me) and some do(dereks m8) others dont get rejection, some do.

I'm very calm. A personal attack it was not. I stated a fact, though in a crude manner. Derek is giving advice to someone with a complete lack of knowledge about the subject area. How many urban legends start with "I have this friend and he said..."

Bad and clueless piercing advice can be of the form "sure get a rusty needle and stick it through your face, won't hurt, won't get infected" and it can also be the form of "No, don't get a tongue piercing, your willy will fall off, even if you're a woman". Derek is giving the latter type. The content of his replies were totally biased towards discouraging the OP by suggesting they'd have stab wound size scars on their neck.(His words not mine) As an adendum Derek advised to go to a reputable piercer. In a further post he again advised that there would be welts when the piercing grew out and lots of pain after the initial piercing. All this advice from secondhand information.

This is what I meant by talking through one's hole. The advice is bad not because it is discouraging but because it is devoid of any kind of clue.

Other posters including yourself have given their personal real experiences of piercings and I think they're the only form of advice that should be encouraged and tolerated.

derek27

ok your statement about my second hand information is valid. i deleted my posts in this thread, all that remains of them are the quotes of them included in your posts, which you may remove if required.

I have a nape/neck piercing that I have about 2.5 years now, it didn't hurt at all to get done or to heal. In fact it's the easiest piercing to heal I have found!

Still get a little bit of lymph on it, generally when i'm feeling unwell though.
