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

Although these piercings are often placed in many different areas of the body, they should be placed where tissue movement is minimal to reduce the risk of 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 the need for surgical assistance.
