Thumb Piercing
Ok so I recently discovered thumb piercings, but i only seem to be able to find one photo of it. i think they're lovely, but i need some information on the aftercare and whatnot, because google is not coming up with much besides handweb piercings. i found a little on finger piercings, so would the risks/aftercare procedures be the same or is it different since you use your thumb more?

Piercings like this aren't meant to be permanent, although some people are lucky enough to keep them for years without infection or rejection.
You won't know what will happen to yours until you try.
To be perfectly honest though, I wouldn't recommend a thumb piercing, because hands are a top spot for germs to get in. and you're right, you do use your thumbs more.
The hand web is a better option because it's flexible and I'm assuming it wouldn't be uncomfortable, like the thumb would. It obviously won't get in the way as much, too.

This is the best site for body mods. I've linked you to the hand piercing page. I'm not sure if there are thumb piercings on it, but you get the idea.
I assume the risks and aftercare will be quite similar for all hand related piercings.
but if you want the best advice, I highly recommend finding a decent piercer and talking it through with them. They know what's best for you and can answer all your questions. I'll also add there are different types of piercings, so maybe an actual barbel/whatever through your thumb wouldn't be good, but another type would - which may even be permanent.
