The process begins with a qualified technician sterilizing the area and using either a dermal punch to remove a small piece of the flesh or a needle to create an L-shaped pouch in the skin. From there, dermal forceps are used to insert an anchor with either a round or footed base into the area.
This process is much more involved than a traditional piercing and should only be attempted by a professional in a clean and licensed shop. One of the best things about dermal piercings is the fact that they can be placed just about anywhere on the body. You can even get a dermal face piercing. Depending on your tastes, you can simply get a single facial dermal piercing or create different designs and shapes with several dermal piercings in a row.
Tattoos can be accented with dermal piercings and you can even have the jewelry placed on a finger or toe to resemble a ring. Dermal piercings can migrate or be rejected by your body. They can also be easily caught in clothing and become dislodged while they heal, so extra care is important with a surface anchor piercing.
With most surface piercings, you should be able to suction cup the glass to your skin so that you can move around a bit while you let the piercing soak. Once the soak is completed, gently pat the piercing dry without moving the jewelry. Be careful with snagging. Rejection will be your biggest risk during healing. Nothing promotes rejection like ripping at your jewelry. Many surface piercings are located in areas that are at risk of snagging. The nape of your neck, your collar bone, and your pubic region all see snagging hazards on a daily basis.
Throughout the life of your surface piercing, and certainly during healing, you need to take care when you dress, brush your hair, or do any activity near the piercing site. Try not to move the jewelry too much. Depending on the location of your piercing, it will see some movement regardless of how careful you are.
For example, anti-eyebrow piercings, located along the cheekbone, will see movement as you talk and smile. Do your best to minimize movement in order to avoid rejection.
If you want to get a surface piercing in an area that sees lots of movement, like your finger or arm, think about getting a dermal piercing instead. Jewelry styles for the surface piercing greatly depend upon the location of the piercing and your anatomy.
When you get your surface piercing, talk to your piercer about your jewelry options and stick to those options. Surface barbells, also called staple barbells, are made specifically for surface piercings in flatter areas. Although the name implies that this jewelry type is made specifically for all surface piercings, some locations should sport a curved or straight barbell instead. Your piercer will let you know which jewelry type you should use.
Curved barbells work in many surface piercing areas, too. The curvature of the barbell plays a similar role as the staple shape of the surface barbell.
Be careful with this type, since the curvature could push the beads against the piercing holes in piercings in flatter areas. Straight barbells can be used in specific surface piercings.
However, it should never be used in many surface piercing types, so ask your piercer before choosing a straight barbell for your piercing. Whether your piercing prefers surface barbells, circular barbells , or straight barbells, you can choose opal, pearl, or diamond ball styles, or have a little fun with charms. Some surface piercings, like a corset piercing or genital piercings , can sport a captive bead ring or other hoop styles.
Since you can get a surface piercing almost anywhere, you can usually find a surface piercing that will work for you. However, there are lifestyle considerations to make before getting a surface piercing. Surface piercings are easily rejected, and the movement will encourage migration. Since surface piercings are so easily rejected, choose a piercer that has experience with surface piercings; the success of your piercing will depend greatly upon how deeply your piercer pierces it.
Microdermals are fragile- consider placement carefully. All surface work is fragile, but Microdermals in particular. That being said, consider where you get your piercings. Center of the chest is a popular placement, but cross body purses and seatbelts will get snagged often.
Size Matters. Microdermals are not one size fits all piercings! The bases are made on different rises for different thickness of tissue. You want to ensure that your piercer is using a base that is the correct height for the placement you are getting pierced. Surface Bars. Surface piercings, also called Surface Bars and Surface Barbells, are surface piercings done with a staple shaped base with two rises, and you can wear two gemstones or pieces can be worn in them.
The barbell remains under the skin, and unlike a microdermal if absolutely necessary can be changed out- although changing often causes trauma and should be avoided if possible. Curved Barbells are a bad idea, every time.
There is never a reason a curved barbell should be put in a surface piercing. Plastic, Pathetic! This means plastic jewelry can yellow, harden, and even fall apart after a long time being worn. Plastic jewelry is also externally threaded, which can cause irritation and issues when switched out.
There is never a reason to put plastic in a piercing, but particularly not a surface piercing. Not all bars are created equal. Like different Microdermals bases, surface barbells come in different styles and sizes. Rounded and flat bottom are both offered, as well as different rises.
Different placements call for different styles. Surface piercings overall are super fun, unique piercings. As long as you can accept the temporary nature of these piercings, they allow for a whole new range of cute choices when it comes to being pierced.
