Visually I’ve always been a fan of “finger ring piercings” — kind of like the finger version of a frenum ring. Unfortunately, they don’t tend to heal very well because not only do they take a lot of abuse, but they’re exposed to huge amounts of foreign bacteria. My friend Dominick from Starlight Tattoo in Belleville, NJ just sent me a picture of one that he did that’s now about two years old and looking quite impressively healthy.
If I’ve learned one thing, it’s that almost anything will heal on someone, no matter how difficult or prone to rejection!

Wow, that’s pretty impressive.
Not only for it’s healing, but that piercing would drive me up the wall. I generally don’t like wearing regular rings, never mind one that would be under my skin.
Looks pretty cool though.

that does look surprisingly healthy. my friends came out after 2 weeks and was red raw. it’s good to see a surface piercing healed.

That is so cool! I want one but it would never heal on me due to my line of work.

i guess that this is less prone to rejection than a regular surface piercing due to the fact its held in place (sort of) by the top of the finger, acting as a sort of anchor to stop it being pushed out by the skin.
right? or am i completely off?

That’s so pretty. I could never have that, I have fish.. I’d get all infected and diseased from the water..

Wow, very impressive and unique.

Wow, that’s really attractive. But I don’t like how it squishes their finger, nothing worse than a too-tight ring, especially for two years.

Wow, that’s gorgeous. I love wearing rings, but damn, I’ve had my regular rings catch on stuff and pull, I can’t imagine having that sucker ripped out.

It looks really well placed. Very awesome indeed.

Wow, that’s brilliant. Maybe, though its difficult to tell from the photo that the ‘ring’ fits tight enough around the finger to stop too much movement and help the healing?
Or she’s lucky.
Either way it looks awesome. I love rings but I lose them all the time, and this seems like a nice alternative 🙂

Impressive that she’s kept it so long and in such a good condition – but – Wouldn’t the same effect be achieved by just sliding the jewellery onto the finger like a “normal ring”?

Ive honestly never seen a finger piercing done like this before- looks awsome !! I think an option like that would be kinda cool for people who like the idea of wedding ring tattoos at least its not as permanent.

I have that! I’ve had it for four years, and it’s totally settled. Never seen another one til now. It’s my pride and joy!

everytime i see finger piercings i miss my old trans-fingerling. It was a pain to heal and deal with on a daily basis but still one of my favourites.

ive got to agree its really awesome.. but it does look kinda tight… it seems like it would get annoying. and would hurt horribly bad if it got caught.
but im really distracted by the nail polish

Dominick is awesome, I have received a variety of piercings from him and like him a lot. I knew he was talented, but this is incredible.
