A hand web piercing is a piercing through the loose skin between two digits, such as between the fore-finger and middle-finger or fore-finger and thumb. This piercing is considered a surface piercing and, as such, has a high rate of rejection. Typical body jewelry used is a barbell or a captive bead ring.
Another type of hand piercing is across the top of the finger.
The healing can take anywhere from 6 weeks to 1 year.
