BME has covered subclavical piercings in the past, and recently in an art context, and we have a gallery of various “deep piercings”, but I have to say that the subclavical piercing is one of the few piercings that deeply concern me. Because it directly bypasses and opens a channel through the body’s primary defence mechanisms, it’s effectively like having puncture injuries penetrating into your inner body (like past your ribs), and leaving the weapon in place for your body to heal around. I’m always impressed that people seem perfectly capable of healing them… These are by Urea in Joao Pessoa PB Brazil.

If you guys take a look at the end of all the four piercings, you’ll notice that they don’t look like straight bars under the bone, especially the fourth one (left to right). Their ends doesn’t match really…

I’m not a doctor, but if you’ve got piercings that are making your shoulders and arms hurt four months in, take them out. Pain is a sign that something is wrong, to take a line from madonna.

Am waiting for the first ‘bargain basement’ piercer to attempt one of these and truly fuck someone up and the obligatory resulting legislation coming through on the back of it.

I don’t like those at all.
Collarbones make me a bit squeamish now, my boyfriend broke his in two places about 3 months ago and now he has a very sharp point just below the surface of his skin where it’s healed sticking straight up instead of across. I’m always afraid it’s going to come through!

*shudder* man i don’t usually get squeamish, but along with comment 13, after having broken both of my collarbones, this gives me the chills. And to think people want to tug on them eeeugh. Looks pretty sweet though… just makes me cringe, haha. Take care all.

It’s not the hazards or possibility of danger or health problems with this type of piercing that bother me. Life is about taking risks! It’s the fact that I haven’t seen a single set look even close to healed or even un-painful, yet they continue to leave the jewelry in place. I see this as no different from any other red, inflamed, pussing piercing in a lip, earlobe or surface piercing, where everyone expresses shock and horror that the condition is allowed to deteriorate so badly. But because this is rare and risky, basic concerns are ignored over the effort to prove something.

For those that don’t read Portuguese (I barely can), I think Urea is saying that these are two years old and have not had any problems during the healing.

I worry about the amount of movement that occurs in that area of the body. Your clavicles actually rotate when you raise and lower your arms. Pierce too deep and your lungs are right there, pierce too shallowly, and you run the risk of rubbing the piercing on the bone. Yikes! I get the feeling that even if the surface of the piercing were to heal (which sounds unlikely) that there would always be inflammation beneath the clavicles.

would look so much better if they were placed more symetrically, as id doesnt look straight at all.
i`ve had mine for a year, and apart from bad scarring (the top holes were placed too low and they moved up a bit during first weeks), they seem to be getting a bit happier.
were very painful during first month, i couldn`t move my arms properly, but as soon as the pain was gone, they didnt give me any more problems, except for the way they look.
they`re slowly getting better though.

Did you ask a surgeon to do this? I mean that pretty invasive, you can collapse a lung of get a serious infection, what kind of formation does the piercing duy/girls has to cosider themselves surgeons? That should not be performed by people with a 3 hours crash course on collarbones.

I think these are very beautiful piercings. In my opinion even when they look somewhat irritated there is still something amazing about them. There is always a general worry about things that are not common practice, and are still generally not widespread. This piercing is at a higher risk then other piercings but it all depends on how well you take care of something, and if your body can anatomically handle the piercing. I am sure that when tongue piercings or nipple piercings first came about there was a general concern where nowadays some people would not think twice about getting them. People do alot crazier things than this.

I have seen a few great looking subclaivical piercings, but those look irritated and like they are perhaps migrating. Personally, this piercing is not for me considering how many risk there are, but to the people who have this piercing I have to give you my respect for going through with it.
