Here are a couple of surface piercings on the nape of the neck. I always pierce these with 1.6mm PTFE plastic w/titanium balls to allow flexibility and initial comfort for the inevitable swelling. A few weeks after your pierced, maybe a month or so depending on your own healing process; return to the studio and I’ll trim/cut the plastic bar down flush. You can also change the heads or balls, though I recommend a 4/5mm ball minimum for the first few months.

Here’s some old custom work, a triple pierced navel though only the lower two were pierced by me. This is custom reverse surface navel piercings, pierced at the same time with 1.2mm PTFE plastic.

The PTFE was cut down flush several weeks/months after healing. The swelling with surface piercings can be common and thus PTFE is better due to its flexibility.
