Surface piercings (like anti-eyebrow, nape) and microdermals have the highest rejection rates because they're shallow, but eyebrow and navel piercings are also very common candidates due to movement, tension, and anatomy, as the body pushes them out as foreign objects. Any piercing can reject, but these areas are most prone because the body can more easily push out jewelry that sits close to the skin's surface with less tissue anchoring it.
 

How to tell if a piercing is migrating?

Early detection helps, as migration often precedes rejection, where the body pushes the jewelry out entirely, with surface piercings being especially prone to it.
