How painful is a hip piercing? The pain depends on factors like your pain resistance. However, yes, piercings on the hips and collarbones are quite painful, although the consolation is that it is quick. Of the methods discussed, it’s said that using a dermal punch is the least painful.
The rejection rate for hip piercings is high since the hips are a high-contact, high-motion area where a new piercing can get irritated. How long do hip dermals take to heal? One to three months typically. If aftercare isn’t followed, healing will take longer. Crusting and minor swelling are common the first weeks.
Dermal hip piercings with a skin punch hurt less than surface piercings. How long do microdermal hips last? Five years on average, but less or more depending on aftercare. Some have lasted eight years or more.
Dangers with this piercing are mainly migration and rejection. Surface piercings especially risk rejection due to proximity to the skin surface. However, your body can reject any piercing not deep enough.
The hip piercing process is simple. The piercer uses clamps to pinch the skin, pushes the needle through, then inserts the jewelry. How long do they last? Dermals take one to three months, surfaces take six to 18 since hip location means more pressure.
Individual pain tolerance affects how much surface piercings hurt. The piercer’s skill matters too. These aren’t considered very painful. Both methods should be quick, with manageable pain.
Hip piercings take longer to heal than other piercings because of pelvic pressure. A skilled piercer and good aftercare can speed healing. Surfaces take longer – six to 18 months – because of the bar underneath skin.
What are hip piercings called?
Hip piercings called dimples of Venus are dermal piercings on each side of the lower back above the buttocks. A needle will make a small pocket. An anchor will be inserted into the pocket and jewelry will attach the anchor.

With needle microdermal piercing, the piercer cleans then punctures skin in an “L” shape.

The dermal anchor base holds jewelry at 90 degrees. Under the dermis, skin heals around the anchor and attaches.

Are hip piercings worth it?
A hip piercing is a piercing located on the hip area. There are two different kinds: a surface piercing and a dermal piercing. Expect to pay between $40 and $100 for the piercing.
In literal terms, a surface hip piercing has two piercings sites, as it has an entry and exit point. Dermal piercings consist of an anchor and a top. This type of hip piercing is done by puncturing the skin to create an empty space in which a small anchor is pushed into. It is then secured with the top, aka a non-fixed, flat end.
The hip piercing jewelry chosen is normally a surface barbell or Tygon jewelry. This is due to the fact that these options fit under the skin much easily; as it is only a surface piercing there is more chance of rejection and larger items will only enhance this risk.
After you get the hip pierced, you should clean the pierced skin area. You should first know that there are two different kinds of hip piercings — the surface hip piercing and the dermal hip piercing. Low-waist jeans, bathing suits, and cut-off tops show off the piercings the best.

A dermal piercing typically heals within one to three months. If you don’t follow your piercer’s aftercare recommendations, the piercing may take longer to heal.
Hip piercings are quite fashionable right now, and they are amongst the most popular formats among teens and young people. While it may appear attractive, a hip piercing, like all other piercings, has risks.
Dermal hip piercings look different from surface hip piercings. Unlike a surface piercing that has two points — an entry and exit — a dermal piercing is a single-point piercing with only one adornment per piece of jewelry.
When having a piercing whether it is in the hip area or other parts, there will always be risk. One of the main risks is what you call piercing migration where the body rejects it out.
A dermal piercing is also known as a micro dermal hip piercing. It looks like the jewelry is fixed flat or glued against the skin. When using a needle, a small pocket is made on the skin by inserting and pushing the needle through the skin.
