Is it possible to pierce through scar tissue

If it is a scar left behind from a previous piercing, which was healthy or fairly healthy when removed, and the scar it left is a small, mostly flat, healthy scar, absolutely. This is probably the most common scar I get asked about, and these are very easy to pierce through and totally safe to pierce through as well.

Often clients were happy with the placement and look of their old piercings, and if so I always suggest going back in the same place. It gets them back the piercing they loved, and it prevents them from having more scars in the same area. These are no issue at all.

Scars from previous piercings that were irritated when removed, or left more severe scarring such as raised scars, discolored scars, or large scars, must be evaluated on a case by case basis. This is particularly true of piercings that migrated or fully rejected.

Migration and rejection leave paths of scarring that are more severe then they little scar left from just removing a piercing. Be aware many scars need to be assessed in person, so you very well may need to do an in person consultation to get a final answer.

An exception here is surface piercings- both surface bars and microdermals. Because scar tissue effects the integrity of the tissue in the area, we are more limited in our ability to do these piercings through scar tissue. Where things become more difficult are scars not from piercings. Things like accident scars, surgical scars, etc. These scars are much more complex, and I will start by saying that the final say always should be done in person.

These needs to be felt and observed to determine their viability for piercing. For more extreme scarring, I suggest at minimum 1 year from the surgery or cause of the scar before repiercing. I know- your doctor may tell you to be pierced sooner, but I cover this in my plastic surgery and piercing article here. Sometimes depending on the scarring repiercing is not possible at all, and this is very common with plastic surgery scars, including tummy tucks, breast implants or reductions, and top and bottom surgery.

For Williams' case specifically, because she's being re -pierced, the process is a bit trickier. Luckily, the scar is slightly off-center, which makes it pretty easy to get around it. Doll marks the skin where she'll pierce with a sterile marker then preps the soft tissue with Iodine. Once the jewelry is in place, I clean off the excess Iodine and marker, and she is set to go. For the aftercare, Doll tells Willams to apply a sterile saline solution to the piercing times a day.
