In theory a [[Transdermal Implant|transdermal implant]] should be placed essentially no deeper than a piercing. If it is placed deeper, not only will it be far more [[Transdermal Implant Removal|difficult to remove]], but secondary complications can easily occur such as an [[Inward Traveling Infection|inward traveling infection]].
'''Deep Chest Piercings''' are [[Deep piercing|deep piercings]] passing vertically, horizontally, or otherwise through the chest. It can be as long as three or four inches, and is usually placed either vertically or at an approximate 15 degrees off horizontal. Because the piercing is so long it can take up to a few years to heal. Note that the piercing is only through the skin -- it is not deep enough to actually pass through muscle. It is almost always a male piercing.


Because transdermal implants are typically placed using a dermal punch to create the main point of exit for the jewelry, initial damage can be easily done to the muscle and periosteum, or even scratch the skull itself, creating weak points for future infections. In addition, the jewelry itself can erode tissue below it until the transdermal settles on the bone itself and can begin to cause life-threatening complications.
This piercing was first popularized by [[Fakir Musafar]] who has a pair of vertical deep chest piercings, as well as by [[Patrick Bartholomew]] of the [[London Piercing Clinic]] who performed many of them, several of which were documented in early piercing videos.
