In the '''surface weaving''' style of [[Surface Piercing|surface piercing]], a single piece of [[Body jewelry|jewelry]] passes in and out of the skin multiple times. This can be done with flexible jewelry such as [[nylon]] or [[Tygon]], or with specially bent [[Surface Bar|surface bar]]s, often called 'MadMax bars' after [[Samppa | Samppa's]] studio in Finland, where this technique was pioneered.

As far as healing, it should be treated as any surface piercing. When placing these piercings care must be taken to compensate both for the motion of the anatomy as well as any volumetric changes. Especially if the jewelry is inflexible, the entire collection must be treated as a single entity.
