All piercings are at risk from migration and rejection, just depends how you look after it after it's pierced. It also depends what area it is and what KIND of piercing it is. For instance a surface piercing done on the wrist with a surface bar is more likely to reject than a helix piercing in the upper ear. This is because the wrist is a high movement area. (:

The best way to determine that for sure would be to talk to a doctor or the person who did the piercing. However, here are some signs you could look for that often indicate that rejection is happening:

  • The skin could be red or flaky
  • The skin could become hard
  • It may appear that the holes are getting larger
  • The amount of skin between the entry and exit holes might be decreasing
  • The skin around your jewelry might look shiny or tight
  • You can see the jewelry through the skin

Some movement in your piercing can be normal. This is called migration, and it could be a sign of rejection, but it could also be that the body is adjusting the jewelry to a place where it isn't disturbed by the natural movement of your skin. If you notice your jewelry migrating, get it checked out by a piercer to see if it is normal movement or if you should change the jewelry. If there is a problem, do not remove the jewelry yourself. See a qualified piercer. Removing jewelry from an infected site can seal the infection inside the skin, causing a cyst.

If you think your body is rejecting the piercing, take care of the problem. As the skin thins, you risk the jewelry getting yanked out by accident, and you can get a serious scar or cleft in your skin if a piercing is left to fall out on its own.
