Piercings are a fun and creative way for a person to express their individual style. While historically seen as an act of rebellion, getting a piercing has become a more mainstream avenue for accessorizing your look. This form of body modification is less permanent than getting a tattoo.
However, it still requires careful maintenance to prevent infection and ensure proper healing. Some styles of piercings that were once trendy aren't popular anymore. Here's a look at why you might want to avoid adding any of these options to your style.
One piercing style that was popular about a decade ago was hip piercings. These were sought out by both men and women, especially as part of the "scene" subculture. They fell out of popularity because they rarely lasted. However, one issue might have been using PTFE bars for this style. Switching to dermals might have more lasting results.
Another piercing that fell out of popularity is piercing the lower back. This was either done to enhance the look of back dimples or to create the illusion of dimples. While this style is aesthetically pleasing, it isn't viable for everyone. If your skin is too taught in this area, this style might not be possible to receive.
