PIRECINGS !
Mk. Well I'm getting my hips pirced thursday.
I was told that Microdermals are better
then surface pircings .. but if you ever
wanted them out.. you would have to get them
cut out of your skin. I also herd that hip pircings are high in rejection! I'm terrifed of my hips rejecting the pircing. Should I get
a surface of microderaml.. How can I prevent rejection!?
Please answer quick i only have two days to decide!
Thanks alot.

First off, I'd like to apologize for this answer being a little later than you hoped. I understand that you may or may not have already gone through with this piercing; however, I'd like to inform you about some things on piercings for the future.
A really big concern of mine is the possibility of accidentally ripping one of the surface piercings out from the skin during the night. Humans tend to move a bit in their sleep (even if you're not aware of it) so you can't really force yourself not to. Piercings are easily caught on fabric and such so you should really take time to decide if you can handle sleeping odd first off. The more pressure you put on the piercings, the worse they will feel and the quicker they will reject (they may also become infected/inflamed easier as well).
You also should be aware of the scarring you will experience from the piercing. Surface piercings will never truly heal no matter what you do, and your body will always reject them--some bodies reject quicker than others. If you heal quickly then don't expect the piercing to last very long at all before becoming incredibly itchy, red, and puffy.
The lengthen the time you are able to wear the piercing you must keep it rinsed off with saline solution twice daily and put little to no pressure on the piercing area. There isn't a way to stop rejection--it is what your body naturally does to foreign objects.
When your body rejects a piercing, what happens is rather frightening. The skin that is around the piercing literally sacrifices itself and dies off to expel what is underneath. This being said, some scars can be a lot more noticeable than others.
In my experience, there isn't really a good way to reduce the scarring either so you need to decide if you can deal with the scars for a long period of time. I had a surface piercing done years ago and the scar is still very noticeable and itches periodically.
Also, keep in mind that you will need to purchase some saline solution to put on the piercings each day to keep down possible infection if you're going to try to keep it for an extended period. Try your best not to mess with them and cause more damage to the area. The more you mess with the piercing, the quicker it will reject and the higher the possibility of infection. Please make sure you've researched this entirely so that no surprises come up that you were unaware of and unequipped to deal with.
I also recommend asking your piercer to do the piercing with surface bars instead of captive rings. Rings tend to be rejected quicker, leave more scarring, and have more likelihood of being accidentally torn from the flesh. You can get slave rings attached to the surface bars if you want something on the ends.
In regards to microdermals, they are easier to keep in than an actual surface piercing. You are correct in saying removal is a bit tricky and may leave nasty scars; however, if you plan to keep the piercing as a permanent part of your body then it doesn't sound like a bit deal. In addition, they may be a little more costly than regular surface piercing so you should check to see if your budget would allow it.
I hope all goes well and you get yourself informed enough to help reduce some of the scarring/infection risks.

A friend of mine got her hips pierced.
She only got her right side at first, and she did that with a surface bar.
It caused her some trouble, but it turned out ok.
A couple of months ago she got the other side done with microdermals.
She said it was a bit more painful (although the pain factor depends of the person) but it healed better.
My ex boyfriend had a surface piercing on his wrist. He did it with a surface bar, it caused him A LOT of problems and it never healed properly.
So yeah, this is all the experience I've had around surface piercings/microdermals.
I'd suggest you see which one you think is better, but then ask your piercer for his/her advice on this. He/she should know the best.
Personally, I'd choose the microd's.
Otherwise good luck, and remember to clean your piercing properly :) I'm sure it'll look amazing.
