Do All Piercings Migrate?

Piercings Most Likely to Reject and Migrate
Of course, this totally depends on the person, as some people are simply more prone to rejection than others.

Can you stop a piercing from migrating?

Even a well-established and healed piercing can reject. Unfortunately, once a piercing has begun to migrate, there really isn't anything you can do to stop it. ... The only thing to do at this point is to have the jewelry removed (preferably by your piercer) and allow what is left of your piercing hole to heal completely.

How do you know if your piercing is migrating?

Signs that a piercing is migrating and possibly being rejected include:
  1. more of the jewelry becoming visible on the outside of the piercing.
  2. the piercing remaining sore, red, irritated, or dry after the first few days.
  3. the jewelry becoming visible under the skin.
  4. the piercing hole appearing to be getting larger.
