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.

Aw man…That doesn’t look very healthy, and the pain.ahh. Those would be a bitch to heal.

Those look pretty damn bruised!

they will more than likely never heal, and on top of that, it is a sure way of going septic fairly quick

i can’t imagine that ever being comfortable.

hopefully microdermals are as great as they seem so then the aesthetic of this can be achieved without the insane amount of risk. in person, i’ve only seen scars from sub-clavicles, never healed ones…

“hey baby, can I be on top? your wonderful soft boobs are brushing against my poorly healing, seeping fleshwounds and it hurts.”

oh, sub-clavicle piercings worry me too. Too deep, man, just too deep.

Seeing things like this always make me laugh at myself for worrying what my surface piercings might do to my health.
Apart from the infection danger, the bars must rub against his collarbones constantly. Brrr.

Those do scare me a little. Aside from the bruising and such they are sexy, but couldn’t the same effect be achieved with normal surface piercings that would have been a ton safer?

Take a look in a decent anatomy book and you’ll see not only the extremely large arteries http://www.harunyahya.com/images_books/images_hormone/31.jpg , but the lungs are right there too!
Super risky!

Those are healed? Aside from the huge risk of sepsis here, I have always wondered how one manages to avoid the huge honkin’ blood vessels that run just deep to the clav. I just wouln’t want to take that chance.

Oh holy fuck… That doesn’t look pretty….

This kind of piercing scares me too. They look nice and all… kudos to the people who take care of them and manage to get them to heal.
I am just waiting for the day when the wrong person decides to get a subclav, doesn’t take care of it and ends up with flesh-eating bacteria or something. The media would have a hayday with something like that. 🙁

but these don’t look healed at all, they look very angry and any aesthetic value in the piercings themselves is outweighed by their “my chest is growing big red bulbous scars”ness. just because you -can- do something doesn’t mean you -should- or that it’ll look good…

The first thing that occurs to me when I look at this is how awful it would be to grab both ends and pull forward/out, pulling from behind the bone. The idea of looping things under bones just doesn’t sit well with me.
But hey, if he likes ‘em, and actually manages to heal something that deep, then good for him.

I was so bummed when I saw these.. cause I’d been toying w/ idea of having double on each side, since my current ones are good.. n
#18—omg, I have sub clavicles, and I just had that thought the other day, how someone could like to torture me yank on them, to see whehter the tygon or bone would give first.. eekk..
also though, only the one looks really bad, on his right side, the inner bottom one… like mine look reddish around it at times, mine are about 4 months old and go in phases, from being fabulous and amazingly awesome, to sore and making my shoulders and arms sore as hell..

Yipe. Far be it for me to tell people what and what not to do with themselves, but… that seems to me like a very bad idea.

How are these more dangerous than deep mandible piercing? Those seemed to be praised quite a bit and seem just as dangerous in terms of how deep, and how much muscle they pierce, and how long of a fistula is trying to be created?

Esmeray…I’m confused by your posting. Do you mean you have one set already and those are healed? After 4 months? BUT they are still reddish ‘at times’ to sore and making your arms hurt when your raise them. And you already want to add another set? Ummm…I’m not a piercer, but if you could manage to truly heal a piercing like that in less than half a year I salute you but healed piercings aren’t ‘occasionally red around the outside”. It doesn’t sounds like your piercings are fully healed. Healed piercings shouldn’t make other parts of your body hurt to move. Am I missing something here? Any piercers or other people who’ve had these a lot longer? I’d love to hear from folks with them over 3 years or more-something with more longevity.
