An engagement ring is so expected. Why not show off your love in a more permanent and unique way? This is the exact thought process behind the engagement ring piercing trend.
An engagement ring piercing is literally what it sounds like. Instead of a ring, the diamond or whatever gemstone you desire is embedded into the skin of the ring finger.

It’s the same process as getting a dermal piercing, which is any single-entry piercing on a flat surface of your body like the collarbone, neck, cheeks or back.
Using a dermal punch, the piercing professional creates a hole in the epidermis of the finger then inserts an anchor into the skin layer below the dermis. The jewelled top, typicaly a diamond or gemstone, is fitted into the anchor.

Like any other piercing, this one will come with some pain, the level will depend on your own pain tolerance. However, it shouldn’t hurt more than a piercing on any other part of the body. It takes several months to heal, during which you may experience some fluid secretions.
Tattoers do warn that this piercing comes with a high risk. Besides the risk of infection, the finger is a high traffic area as you use your hands a lot throughout the day. Constant friction against the piercing will irritate it.
Because a dermal piercing has a single entry point, meaning the piercing enters and exits from the same hole, the rejection rate is quite high, which can lead to bad scarring.
The actual process of getting the piercing is also quite risky, because the finger has so many muscles and nerves. If the piercing is in the dermis then it should not be an issue but any deeper and you run the risk of affecting vital structures in the finger. Considering fingers have little fat underneath the skin, the piercing may hit muscle or bone, which can result in nerve damage.

If you do decide to go through with this piercing, there is a lot of aftercare. It is important to keep the finger covered as it heels to avoid it getting caught in anything. Piercers recommend twice-daily soaks in warm water and sea salt or warm water and vinegar. You can also use an antiseptic to wipe away any crusty secretions.

A proposal is a special moment that you want to be absolutely perfect. Unfortunately, not everything always goes to plan. This man learned it the hard way when he went down on one knee recently.
Miles Sueharto popped the question to girlfriend Angelina Zalesova. He decided to do it in style by renting a boat off the Sarasota coast in Florida.
With the stunning sunset as a backdrop, it seemed like the perfect time for Sueharto to go down on one knee.
As the proposal continues, he turns to his friend to ask him to pass the ring. The friend then throws him the box so high that Sueharto fails to catch it, which causes the ring to fall in the ocean.
Luckily, another friend quickly jumps into the water to retrieve the ring, and the proposal continues. After all that, of course, she said yes.
Watch the memorable moment here:
When the video was first posted, many were wondering if it was staged. In an interview with ABC 7 News, Sueharto revealed he had planned the whole thing with his friend, but his girlfriend was completely in the dark about it. The box that ended up in the water was actually empty, and the ring was safe inside his best friend’s pocket the entire time.

The bride wanting to show off her décolletage area will stun in a low-cut gown. This cut is incredibly flattering on a number of body shapes, and compliments a variety of dress styles. While it is often considerd sexy or risqué, it’s all about how you do it.
