Ritual scarification and trophy scars might also be at risk. Piercings definitely will need redoing.

How tight are the tendons? If my monk has been doing yoga daily for decades, is he going to be restored as someone with "normal" flexibility?

Tfw your top surgery reversed by resurrection 😩

One of the joys is that top and bottom surgery are necessary only in a world without magic or magic-level tech. Trans folk in worlds with resurrection spells don't get surgery, they drink a potion or wear a girdle, and get a really rather complete transformation, including the capacity to bear / sire children.

Will resurrection reverse a magical sex-change transformation? Depends on how the spell works out how to restore you, and if the sex change is material or a magical construct, like an illusion.

If they're currently wearing the jewelry, the piercing will happen at the same time as the resurrection.

I’ve got a new idea on how to keep the big bad from being resurrected, just gotta give their corpse a cute little heart piercing! When all the flesh regrows around it, the piece of metal installed there will quickly re-kill them.

The typical TV / movie / videogame answer to that is that any foreign objects are pushed out of the body as part of the resurrection. I don't know how that wold work if you resurrected someone who's currently locked inside an iron maiden.

Hm. Like striking a copper nail in a tree trump.
