BME has covered subclavical piercings in the past, and recently in an art context, and we have a gallery of various “deep piercings”, but I have to say that the subclavical piercing is one of the few piercings that deeply concern me. Because it directly bypasses and opens a channel through the body’s primary defence mechanisms, it’s effectively like having puncture injuries penetrating into your inner body (like past your ribs), and leaving the weapon in place for your body to heal around. I’m always impressed that people seem perfectly capable of healing them… These are by Urea in Joao Pessoa PB Brazil.
