How bad does a tongue piercing hurt in comparison to a dermal anchor?
I've never had a dermal anchor piercing but I can imagine they hurt quite a bit depending where on the body you get it. But I had my tongue pierced just over a year ago and I didn't feel a thing. Because the tongue is a muscle, the needle just slips through the layers rather than piercing through it. It can be uncomfortable afterwards, but it just feels like a muscle ache but in your tongue, and it does swell up, but mine was completely fine after 5 days of having it done. x
How do you change a dermal anchor piercing?
A dermal anchor is not a piercing, but in fact a body modification. Now as for changing the top portion of the dermal anchor, the top must be unscrewed and the new top screwed into the anchor shaft. Dermal anchors always have interchangeable screw threads. There is a type of surface piercing without interchangeable attachments known as a Skin Diver. Removal of a dermal anchor must be done by a licensed medical practitioner in North America and most places in the E.U. removal by a body piercer is in fact practicing medicine without a license and is illegal.

How do you take care of a dermal anchor?
The best way to let a dermal anchor heal is just to leave it alone! Be sure to get pierced by a professional, and they will give you aftercare instructions.
How soon can you change a dermal anchor?
Well you cant change a dermal anchor, hence the phrase "dermal anchor". The dermal anchor is permanent (till the body rejects it) and cant be changed, however depending on the design of the anchor some have removable screw tops that can be changed leaving the anchor in place. Changing the top too soon can cause bleeding and possible infection of the anchor. Best to wait at least two weeks (14 days) before attempting to change the top yourself, if you run into trouble go back and see your body modest for assistance.
Can you get a dermal anchor piercing on your tongue?
honestly yes, in a sense, you cant really have a normal dermal plate because theyre too long, but what I did was I used a labret piercing with rounded back plate in place of my tongue bar, making sure it was a snug fit and the labret plate actually worked its way into my tongue and I just left if for the bottom to heal.. its been 6 months and its perfectly healthy.. since then I have had ball bearings put in my tongue

What are dermal piercings?
You could either mean dermal anchors or surface piercings. I think that you mean dermal anchors. Dermal anchors have little "feet" that are put n=beneath your skin by creating a pocket with either a needle or with the punch technique (this uses the tool that's also used for lobe and cartilage punches). The foot it placed in this pocket. The foot has holes in it that tissue will grow through to keep it in place. The dermal anchor has a threaded hole that you use to change jewelry. Dermal anchors are lots of work because you have to be very careful that they don't reject or get snagged on something and ripped out. If done correctly, the jewelry will be flush with your skin and the foot of the anchor is not visible. The jewelry can be screwed off and you can wear balls, gems, or flat pieces in them.
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.)
Where is dermal papillae?
Dermal papillae are located at the boundary between the epidermis and the dermis in the skin. They are small, finger-like projections that help anchor the epidermis to the dermis and play a role in blood flow and sensation.
