Most often, we see piercings on the ears and the rest of the face, but piercings can appear on the rest of the body, too. However, these can sometimes take longer to heal than other piercings, and there's also a higher risk of rejection.
With the possibilities for body piercings being so broad, they fall all over the pain scale — nipple and genital piercings tend to be among the most painful, while belly button piercings don't hurt quite as much because there's more tissue (via Byrdie).
Belly button piercings do take a lot of aftercare, however, as plenty of germs live around this area. For three or months after the piercing itself, you'll need to make sure the area is kept clean — and don't touch your jewelry unless you have to! Alternatives include nape piercings, which involve a bar at the nape (back) of the neck, and the Madison piercing, which goes at the front of the neck, near the clavicle. Then there's the vampire bite piercing on the neck or shoulder and sternum or cleavage piercings — all of these have a pretty high rate of rejection, however.
Finally, for something that's really unique, there are corset piercings, which are in parallel rows so that you can connect them with string or ribbon (via Byrdie). Which type of body piercing will you get next?
