I am by no means any kind of expert, but I know people with microdermals, and surface piercings, and have considered them myself, and have tried reading up about them in the past!

One of my friends has had many surface piercings - shes had clavicles, hips, surface verticle tragus and her nape twice. A lot of them rejected - the only ones I think that didn't were her nape and one of her hip piercings. They scar quite badly, her clavicles looked atrocious for a while after she took them out, huge discoloured patches around them...though that was mostly rejection because the piercer used the wrong type of bar. You have to have staple shaped bars, and he put in straight barbells. He didn't tell her till after he'd pierced her he'd never done a surface piercing before. Good, huh?

As V15U4L 3RR0R said, microdermals don't reject as much, but they still do sometimes
Another friend had one put in the centre of her chest in a similar place as you're thinking, but she had to have it removed as she sleeps in a way that was making it start to go the rejection route, so rather than have it reject, she just got it removed. Having seen the scar on that compared to the botched, rejected surface piercings its a lot less...for want of a better word, ugly
Well, as I say, I'm not any kind of expert, but I HTHs somewhat
