What in the world is wrong with you?
There's a such thing as wrist piercings? Wtf?
I have heard of ear piercings, nose piercings, tongue piercings and even more private places to pierce. But I have never heard something so stupid as a wrist piercing.

I can already see problems something dumb like this would provide. Even little tasks like getting change out of your pockets could be a magical adventure as you try not to snag the wrist piercing on your pants pocket.

I went online and did a little looking around. From what I read, the wrist piercing uses a bar that goes deep within the skin. It takes about 15 seconds to pierce the skin, not including inserting the bar.

Many people have complained that it takes a lot of work and effort not to snag the piercing on stuff like clothes. One person said that while at work they accidentally ripped out the piercing. Since the bar goes in deep under the skin, it left a nice, big scar to show everyone how stupid they were.

It also seems these kinds of piercings have a much higher rate of infections. I mean, considering how much a person uses their hands and how dirty they can get, I could simply imagine.

I say don't do it. I am not a crotchety old man who dislikes piercings, I simply see this as one of the most stupid, unnessescary piercings I have ever heard. Get a ear done, do the eyebrow, hell, get your lip or nose done, but forget about the wrist.

I'd suggest getting a tattoo instead actually, in a place you can easily conceal. Where I live now, you will loose out on a lot of chances to get jobs simply because of piercings. A nose, tongue or lip piercing pretty much guarantees you won't get a job anywhere in town unless you are willing to take them out when you work. At least with a tattoo on your leg or back, you can cover it to hide it from people who might find it weird or offensive.

For anyone wondering what it looks like (wrist piercing) I pulled this up on google images. Most stupidest crap ever.

Edit: Look what else I found. This is the first time I found a piercing that actually functional: Pierced Eye Glasses!

Edit 2: Ok I have seen something much dumber, eye jewels, which are set into the membrane of your eyes! Why god? Why must people stick jewels into their eyes?!

It's not just for fashion, but emo kids will find it practical to take the piercing and simply unzip their wrists instead of searching for a knife to do it.

Anybody ever actually think about getting in fights before they get piercings? If I was just a evil person ready to hurt you in any way I could, I 'd definitely go for your piercings..
In response to Mecha Destroyer JD
Meh, Im a pacifist.

2 balls of metal sticking out of your wrist doesn't look all that fantastic if you ask me.
However, 10 balls of metal sticking out of your wrist does.
So if you're gonna pierce your wrist like that, I suggest getting 5 piercings.
If I were you, I'd go for 10!
Wrist piercing is just trying to hard.
Nay, sounds and looks horrid IMO. Not to mention the increased chance of tearing it and being left with an ugly scar.
In response to Dice1989
The scar wouldnt be that ugly <_<
I detest piercings. My ex-girlfriend a few years ago got a piercing on her belly button. She told me she that meant she would let me near her until she was sure there would be no infections and the skin was fine.

Eh, piercings to me in places other than the ear are excuses for a while not to do ANYTHING, as well as in the future during certain activities. Basically...

"Oh, I can't do that cause of my piercing." or "Be careful of my piercing, I don't want it to be torn out."

Even ones on the ear can be torn out, so piercings in general are rather silly. Also, if you're ever in a fight the piercings are cheap shots for your opponent...
