Body piercing has expanded and changed over the years as more and more people accept the look and style various piercings promote. Surface piercings, though not new by any definition of the word, are a newer trend in young men and women. The two main types of popular surface piercings involve bars and microdermals. Surface piercings may have a higher rate of rejection and/or infection than ear piercing or other body piercings. A pregnant woman’s immune system is suppressed during pregnancy, which leaves surface piercing on the borderline of unsafe.
Barbell surface piercings are performed like eyebrow piercings. The skin is pinched and a sharp, sterile tool is used to create two holes. The barbell is matched to the length of the hole creating the effect of two single jewelry implants. Popular locations for barbell piercings include the neck, hips, and chest.
Microdermal implants are less invasive than traditional surface piercings. A small hole is placed in the skin with a punch or gauged piercing needle. The piercer places a small anchor into the hole with a post or healing nub sticking out through the hole. Jewelry is screwed into the healing nub. Tissue grows through holes in the healing nub, anchoring the piece in place. While some piercers claim microdermal piercings are permanent, the body often rejects the anchor or snagging causes the nub to pull out of the skin.
Removing Microdermal Implants: A Photographic Tutorial
Surface piercings tend to reject or infect more often than other forms of piercings. Most professional body piercers believe the higher rejection and infection rates are associated with improper implantation. The high rejection and infection rates pose an increased risk for pregnant women. Though there are likely many pregnant women who have had successful surface piercings during pregnancy, the procedures are not considered safe for pregnant women.
The Association of Professional Piercers recommends skipping all body modifications, including surface piercings, while pregnant. The organization suggests waiting at least three months after birth before trying a new piercing.
Surface piercings are not the same as transdermal or subdermal implants. Implants are not piercings and require extensive knowledge, training, and specializing implantation care. Implants are not considered safe for pregnant women as the risk of infection due to compromised immunity during pregnancy is high.
Show Us Yours: Microdermal Piercings
You may think a tiny piece of jewelry placed just under the skin poses no threat to the fetus, but surface piercings and microdermals are not pregnancy-friendly beauty modifications. Wait until after the baby is born to modify your body with surface piercings.The views expressed in are solely the opinions of participants, and do not reflect those of What to Expect.

I'm 28 weeks and I have a dermal piercing on my hip and it's starting to come out but I have to have a nurse take it out for me I'm worried that having it taken out will harm my baby and the piercing is starting to really hurt
It won't harm the baby but keeping it in when your body is rejecting it will cause more damage to the area. I would take it out asap.
Body Piercing Types, Healing Times And Aftercare
I had a wrist dermal and it started rejecting. (Not related to pregnancy) But I went back to the shop that did the piercing and they removed it for me. A nurse may not be entirely familiar with the piercing itself. I would recommend going back to where you go it. If it's just a side of the road tattoo/piercing shop they may not do it for you though, not sure.
No matter who does it, if you go back to the shop, let them know you are pregnant, they will be a little more cautious when taking it out. I had two on each hip and I accidentally wrapped one out when I was 6 or 7 weeks. I still have three of them and they are healed, I am 17 weeks, I wanted to have them removed but because it's three of them I didn't want to risk the infection. But I agree, go to the original piercer and explain your pregnant and you can't afford to risk the infection.
I rang the doctors up and they said they can't take it out of have to go to A&E to get it removed
Awful Mods — Surface Anchor/microdermal Info:
I have them to and I'm going to my piercer who knows I'm pregnant and he said he would take them out & has done it before for pregnant women. Also said he knew people who kept them in , but said if it's rejecting to remove it!!
& ps, it will not harm the baby in any way shape or form. It's only under the first couple layered of skin. Only way to hurt baby is if it gets infected.
K, coming from someone who's had dermals DONT take it out yourself. Most dermals have holes in the footing (part under your skin) so that your skin grows through them to keep them in place. I've had mine removed professionally and would never dare do it myself. It literally took him 5 minutes. Just go in to any shop and have them take it out. Not worth risking infection esp when prego!

Many women continue to make sacrifices for style and appearance during their pregnancy, and most of these decisions cause no harm to the baby whatsoever. However, if you’re thinking about getting a piercing during your pregnancy, you might want to consider some of the risks and side effects.
Of course, getting a piercing or micro dermal implant anywhere near or around the belly is a bad idea if you are pregnant or trying to conceive. It could heal perfectly fine and be uneventful, but there is a good chance it will not fully heal and therefore become infected. A navel piercing, for example, will continue to stretch for the duration of your pregnancy. The stretching will leave the hole open and susceptible to infection. Any infection, while you’re pregnant, could go straight to your bloodstream and have negative side effects on your growing baby. Nipple piercings would also be a bad choice during pregnancy. Your breast size will change until after your baby has stopped breastfeeding, and the process of breastfeeding itself will make you susceptible to infection at the piercing site.

Even if you get a piercing that is not close to your breasts or baby bump, you are putting your baby at risk. While you might do your best to find a clean and reputable piercing parlor, there is always the risk of disease transmission through the needles. You could contract Hepatitis B or C from unsanitary needles, as well as HIV. The risk is low, but there is no need to take the risk whatsoever. You should wait until after you’ve given birth to go through with any new piercings.
If you already have piercings when you become pregnant and they seem to become infected, it could be because of all the changes your body is going through, hormonal and physical. Take any infected piercings out right away and get the infection checked out by your health care provider immediately so that it doesn’t spread.
