Health Issues
The vast majority of Madison piercings will reject or migrate. In a three year, informal study by the Association of Professional Piercers, out of twelve participants with Madison Piercings, nine were removed due to migration during the first year and the remaining three had not healed. At the end of the three year study, only one piercing had healed and was still worn. Poorly healed, migrating or rejected piercings can cause scarring. Initial jewelry for a Madison Piercing is usually a surface bar, although flexible barbell style jewelry may also be used. It is not unheard for these piercings to be performed with captive bead rings, although this will almost always lead to migration and rejection.

Famous quotes containing the words health and/or issues:
“I would hope that parents and grown children could be friends. When a friend confides in you that she’s going to do something that you think is most inappropriate, foolhardy or even dangerous, wouldn’t you as a friend say so—in a calm, supportive way? Yet I have to be so careful what I say to my children. I have to walk on eggs to be sure I’m not hurting their feelings or interfering with their lives.”
—Anonymous Parent of Adult Children. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Book Collective, ch. 5 (1978)
“To make life more bearable and pleasant for everybody, choose the issues that are significant enough to fight over, and ignore or use distraction for those you can let slide that day. Picking your battles will eliminate a number of conflicts, and yet will still leave you feeling in control.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
