Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

I've had my nape pierced for over 2 years with a surface bar...I love it and it's been just as easy to deal with as all of my other piercings.

If you're under 18, I wouldn't trust any piercer willing to do it on you. If you are over 18, make sure the piercer has successfully done nape piercings that have lasted. Don't just trust any piercing to do it.

• I don't personally find them aesthetically pleasing, but I don't have a problem with them. Beauty is subjective; I know for a fact some people find some of my mods to be ugly.
  
  However what you need to know about nape piercings is that they are surface piercings, and are only to be considered temporary. Surface piercings pretty much always reject, and should be considered a zero possibility for healing. To prolong retention make sure your piercing is done with a surface barbell, rather than a straight barbell. Surface bars are shaped like staples:

  If you want something that's more realistic for long term retention, that you have a chance at healing, look into microdermal anchors instead. However they are not to be taken lightly. They can be a pain to heal too, and can only be removed by your piercer. If you're going to get these you'd better make damn sure you want them! Lol:

  Another tip, if you're under 18, you're probably going to have to wait. Pretty much all reputable piercer will not do surface piercing like these, or microdermals on minors. This is because of the extremely unstable nature of surface piercings and the semi-permanent nature of microdermals, it's widely considered to be unethical to do these on those who are not adults.
  
  Good luck.
• go to someone you trust who has experience doing surface piercings. i've had one done by someone who didnt really know what they were doing and it didnt look good. on the flip side of that, ive had 2 done by my regular piercing guy and they were awesome. i think napes look sweet when they are done right. good luck!
• LOVE. IT. BEYOND. BELIEF.
  
  I've wanted one for 2 years, but I'm only 13 so :(
  
  But please go to a pro peircer who is also specially trained with surface piercings and microdermals :P
