Dermal Anchor

Dermal Anchors, also just known just as dermals or anchors, are a very versatile piercing. They are a single point piercing, with a head (top) that can be changed, once healed.

Although these piercings are often seen in many different areas on the body, they should be placed where there is minimal movement of the tissue to prevent rejection. When placed correctly, they typically settle in quite quickly and are “anchored” in place by tissue growing through the base of the jewellery.

It is important to note that dermal anchors are considered “long-term temporary piercings”, as they are prone to migration and rejection. However, with proper placement, jewellery and aftercare, these piercings can last for 10+ years.

They can be safely and easily changed or removed at our studio without any surgical assistance.
