Who removes dermal anchors?
Some piercers can probably do this. Not all of them.
What form of piercing has no exit holes?
Dermal anchors only have one entry point into the tissue. So for all intents this would be considered a piercing that doesn't have exit holes. Technically to be considered a piercing it should have an entry and an exit point, dermal anchors are actually not piercings but more body modifications considering there "implantation" into the tissue.
What is a dermal anchor?
A dermal anchor is a small piece of jewelry designed to be inserted into the body and is held or "anchored" in place by the surface tissue "dermal" around it. These implants need to be done by an experienced professional who can legally do them. Dermal anchoring is illegal in some US states. Not every piercer can do dermal anchoring because it's a technical implant that requires experience, skill and knowledge of human anatomy. There are also locations on the body where dermal anchors will not work due to tissue type, body movement and clothing requirements, so do some research beforehand. Dermal anchors are subject to tearing, snagging, infection and rejection and cannot be removed like regular jewelry. They are inserted into the body, so removal must be done by a licensed doctor. Removal generally results in lifelong scarring. If you ever need to go for a CAT or MRI scan, all jewelry will need to be removed, including the dermal anchors.(Just as an FYI to clarify the above info, although most doctors will recommend removing a dermal anchor before a CAT or MRI scan, it is not necessary. They are not surgical steel like most piercings, but actually titanium, and do not interfere with the MRI process. They also do not need to be removed by a doctor. Any professional piercer that can put them in can take them out, it is actually a very simple process.)
Can you get a dermal anchor anywhere?
NoHere's the problem with dermal anchors, some less experienced piercers are throwing dermal anchors in were ever the clients wants them, this is not only irresponsible it's also dangerous. An experienced professional piercer will work with the body and the locations that show minimal body movement through a range of motion. These locations that will be less apt to be subjected to snagging and tearing. You also need to know that what you see on the web is quite often not reality, but photo opportunities that never really last due to snagging, tearing and rejection. Be sure you are dealing with someone who can provide the dermals *legally in your area and has the professionalism and knowledge to do it right. (*Dermal anchoring is illegal in some US states).Case in point: I have had over ten ladies come in over the last 8 months with rejected and torn dermal anchors done by *"brand X" ( *I am being polite here by not naming the shop directly ). All the dermals have been placed in areas that were clearly subject to outside irritation, snagging and tearing. This is a clear case of a inexperienced uncaring money hungry person making a mess out of people just to get money, there is no post piercing support for the client and it's a "well tough for you" attitude. Truly unprofessional behaviour toward the clients and the craft.Dermal anchors are not piercings but body modifications that will eventually need to be removed by a licensed Doctor, professional body piercers can not legally remove these once they are healed. If you ever need to go for a CAT scan or MRI procedure all jewellery must be removed "this includes the dermal anchors". So weight this information in your mind before you run off getting something done, discuss your ideas with your professional body piercer. There are surface piercing options that will easily offer the same effect as a dermal without the hassles that surround dermal anchors. A true professional will discuss the options with you and work in concert with your ideas to make them a reality that will last. It's needs to make sense to you, now and down the road, if it doesn't then maybe it's a bad idea.
