Madison Piercing
From BME Encyclopedia
base of neck surface piercing

Placement
The Madison piercing is a piercing placed horizontally, slightly above the center of the collarbone, at the base of the neck (jugular notch).
Procedure
<this section should explain the common method by which the piercing is performed, if several different techniques are common, they should be individually explained in subheaders. The level of pain or discomfort likely to be encountered during the procedure should also be explained here. If there is an alternate procedure practiced either historically or by native peoples, it should be discussed here in a subheader.>
Healing and aftercare
As with any surface piercing, it is important to avoid irritation of any kind when caring for a madison. Like most surface piercings, the Madison has a high rejection/migration rate. Placement is important when getting this piercing. If it's too low, clothing will tend to irritate it more than necessary. If the piercing is too high, skin movement will cause irritation and increase the risk of the piercing migrating or rejecting.
Long term health issues
Migration/rejection, potential for impact damage, and an obvious scar when removed! So take care of it unless you want two holes on your neck!
Jewelry
Madison piercing jewelry may be a surface bar, a CBR, or a curved barbell. Jewelry will depend on placement and aesthetic ideals.
History and culture
The piercing is named after the porn star Madison, the first person to wear this piercing.
