NATIONWIDE -- There's a new trend in engagement rings catching on.

Instead of the usual ring, some are just getting diamonds embedded right into their ring fingers.

Sam Abbas is the owner of NYC INK Studio in New York City. "We notice lately a lot of people coming looking for that," he says.

Apparently some millennials are ditching the usual engagement ring and instead piercing their ring fingers.

"I think it looks nice but if you really think what it's doing to the body, scarring i mean so many complications that can happen from it," Cynthia Rivas, a millennial says.

Abbas says there could be problems if the person doesn't take care of the piercing, such as cleaning it 2-3 times a day and making sure the piercing artist has experience.

"You're dealing with the blood so you have to be very, very safe what we do is sterilize everything," he says.

As for the pain?

"You're going to feel it you're getting pierced it is a little bit painful but people did it and I have a lot of people say oh nice it's nothing I expect more," Abbas says.

But dermatologists like Dr. Monica Halem has concerns.

"First of all these procedures are not being done by a doctor and it is a surgical procedure. There are a lot of important structures that sit under the skin that can be damaged like tendons," she says.

And there's always the danger of the diamond snagging.

"And that's sitting right above the skin, that's easily caught on something and can do a lot of damage," she says.

Dr. Halem says think carefully before going for this new trend. Healing from this kind of piercing can take up to 20 weeks.

If you want the diamond removed that's possible, but can be more painful than the initial piercing.
