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.

“Lord, thy most pointed pleasure take
And stab my spirit broad awake;
Or, Lord, if too obdurate I,
Choose thou, before that spirit die,
A piercing pain, a killing sin,
And to my dead heart run them in!”
—Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
