The Truth About Wedding Ring Piercings

While a wedding ring piercing can look pretty cool, it carries the potential to cause many issues. Have you ever gotten a ring caught in anything like your hair or a sweater? "It's an accident waiting to happen," piercing pro Cassi Lopez told Refinery29. "Think about everything you do with your hands, like reaching into your pockets, putting on gloves, or wiping yourself after you go to the bathroom. There's a huge chance of not only rejection and tearing, but a serious infection."

She's not the only one with hesitation about wedding ring piercings. "There is constant movement in the fingers, which could displace the piercing," explained Joshua Zeichner, Mt. Sinai hospital's director of cosmetic and clinical research in dermatology told Allure. "Think about how many times we accidentally bang our hands against the side of the table or doorframe."

Now that you know the risks, what do you think? Will you be sporting one of these unusual piercings when you say "I do"?
