Couples are replacing engagement rings with finger piercings

While some people dream of a marriage proposal accompanied by the traditional Engagement Ringthere are those who prefer a proposal, let’s say, a little more “cool”.

According to Instagram, famous for identifying some of the main trends on the web, the newest trend among couples in love – and about to make their marriage official – consists of exchanging the classic diamond ring for a microdermal piercing🇧🇷 strategically placed on the ring finger, of course. The tag #fingerpiercingby the way, already has more than 3400 posts, many of them involving boyfriends willing to adopt the jewelry once and for all, which usually match each other.

Microdermals, for those who don’t know, are piercings made up of two pieces: one of them, which is on the inside of the skin, is like a thin metal plate. The other, which remains apparent, can be made of different materials – such as gold, silver and even a diamond stone, in case the ostentation factor on the engagement day remains valid.

“A piercing idea for my girlfriend and I, in place of the ‘basic’ engagement ring, for our ceremony in a few weeks.

Right after the image-inspiration, Stasis shared the final result of applying her piercings – colorful and inspired by the characters Joker and Harley Quinn, from DC Comics.

“Our microdermal piercings, which we had on Friday. It was a little painful and bloody, but it was definitely worth it and it was a great idea by my fiancée. We chose red and green, in reference to Harley Quinn and the Joker, but I plan to change it to purple after it heals.”

However, the trend, which is actually more economical than a conventional jewel, seems not to please some dermatologists. According to the Meaww website, piercings, because they are very delicate, and if positioned incorrectly, can end up causing skin problems, in addition to infections.

If, even knowing the risks, having a microdermal is your wish (and your bae/bae too), the best thing is to look for a safe and clean place to make the applications.
