Hand Web Piercing

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.

Famous quotes containing the words hand, web and/or piercing:

    Where souls do couch on flowers, we’ll hand in hand,
    And with our sprightly port make the ghosts gaze.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Any newspaper, from the first line to the last, is nothing but a web of horrors.... I cannot understand how an innocent hand can touch a newspaper without convulsing in disgust.
    Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)

    Lords and Commoners of England, consider what nation it is whereof ye are, and whereof ye are the governors; a nation not slow and dull, but of a quick, ingenious and piercing spirit, acute to invent, subtle and sinewy to discourse, not beneath the reach of any point the highest that human capacity can soar to.
    John Milton (1608–1674)
