The result was Delete and rd to surface piercing. —Quarl (talk) 2007-01-03 08:20Z
The term "Hips Piercing" is a neologism for a specific placement of what is normally known as a surface piercing. While many surface piercings have their own articles (nape piercing, Madison piercing, corset piercing), there is no commonly referred to placement for a hips piercing. Surface piercings can be and have been placed, with varying degrees of success, anywhere on the body, including the hips, but there is no specific placement, commonly accepted term, history or other factors that would justify an article for "Hips Piercing" at this time. Currently, a google search[1] for the term "hips piercing" turns up very little other than this article and the video referenced in it. The first result is a BME article that refers to a "surface hip piercing", which I take to be a descriptor, rather than an actual piercing term or name.

- Delete Unless we're going to get into Neckline Piercing, Wrist Piercing, Sternum Piercing, etc. Surface piercings are a dime a dozen and pretty much all of the ones which are in positions normally covered by clothes, especially at stress points like the hips or neckline, require jewelry made of flexible material.
