How Much Do Collar Bone Piercings Cost?
When looking at a price sheet, you’ll be reading pricing for your collar bone under “Dermals”, referring to the dermal layer of your skin that is pierced in the process rather than the shallow layers. These are likely to range anywhere from $70 to $100, since it’s a deeper piercing and a newer style.
Jewelry will be separate and you can always find a variety of pricing from piercer to piercer and location to location. Don’t look for the cheapest price for something like this, you want to invest in whoever is piercing the deeper layers of your skin! And invest in the quality of metals that’s going that deep as well.
Will It Hurt?
If you’re not new to the piercing scene and know what it feels like to have a softer area pierced, it’s just like that! The pain level isn’t too high, but does vary from person to person.
Something to be mindful of, is the chances of snagging the ring once it’s done. Some people with the collar bone dermal piercings say that that is what hurts the most: pulling and snagging the piercing on clothes, towels, pillows, necklaces, etc.
So if you’re looking for something that isn’t super painful, take that into consideration! If you’re not too concerned, this might be perfect for you.
How To Heal And Care For Your New Décolletage Piercing
Caring for dermal piercings and protecting them from infection is just like any other piercings! Saline, saline, saline! And it is recommended that you keep bandaids over them for the first few days to avoid snagging and pulling while the wound is so fresh.
Avoid touching them with unwashed hands and if you absolutely have to, clean the area right after. Your body will thank you.
Since the collar bone piercings are in a potentially high-sweat area, you may want to avoid working out for a bit as well, or be ready to deep clean the wounds immediately after to keep it nice and healthy for you.
What Does A Collar Bone Piercing Scar Look Like/Removing A Collar Bone Piercing
Since it’s dermal piercing, using an anchor and going deep into the skin, it does require a small procedure to remove the jewelry from your skin. That being said, in combination with the usual scarring that comes from piercing the skin, there is going to be extra scarring from the removal as well.
If you’re totally anti-scars on your collar bones, this isn’t the move for you. But if you’re in it for the long haul and want to commit to all of the processes that come with this piercing, then go for it!
