Dermal piercings are a unique type of piercing that is not quite comparable to any other type of facial or bodily piercing, due to their unconventional process, locations, and appearance. Also known
as microdermal or single-point piercings, these piercings consist of jewelry that sits flat directly against the surface of the skin anywhere on the body.
Instead of a clear entry and exit point, this piercing instead sits directly under the surface of the skin, leading to a snug, flat appearance. Dermal piercings are usually carried out with the
insertion of a small anchor beneath the skin, with the end sitting along the surface of the skin, usually screwed into a post.
While dermal piercings can be located anywhere on the body, they are most typically gotten on the collar bones, back, arms, hips, chest, or even beneath the eyes.

Piercing Location – A dermal piercing is achieved by placing the anchor portion of the jewelry on almost any flat surface of the body. In dermal piercing, only one end of
the embellishment is visible from the surface of the skin as the other end is embedded in the dermal layer of the skin, giving the appearance of small beads or jewels on the surface of the skin.
Jewelry Options – Your piercer will guide you through the exciting process of selecting your favourite piece of jewelry. Dermal piercing jewelry is comprised of two parts – an anchor and a top.
Our piercers use high quality, implant grade titanium as the anchor given it is embedded in the skin. The top of the jewelry piece can be made from titanium, gold, silver, steel and many other kinds
of material which can be interchangeable and achieve many looks as long as they are compatible with the anchor. Black Line Studio does not advise removal of dermal jewelry tops for at least 3
to 4 weeks post your piercing service. Whether before or after the piercing is completely healed, when it comes to changing the jewelry, we recommend that you consult with your piercer
Aftercare – When following Black Line Studio’s after care protocol, the healing time for a dermal piercing is
typically 8 -10 weeks. However, the exact time your dermal piercing takes to heal will ultimately depend on your body’s natural healing process and response to your new piercing.
Dermal piercings typically do not cause too much pain, although this depends largely on the location they are gotten in, as different parts of the body can have much greater or lower pain tolerances
than others. In any case, dermal piercings will likely feel like a brief amount of pressure, followed by a pinch.
Throughout the healing process, it is important you keep your piercing site clean and dry, and covered with loose clothing in order to protect it from debris or possible dirt throughout the day. Make
sure to clean your dermal piercing at least twice a day with salt water or a saline solution, gently wiping it with a paper towel and patting it dry or letting it air dry to avoid introducing any
bacteria to the site.
While healing, keep your dermal piercing away from swimming pools or long showers, and try to prevent anything from getting caught in your piercing, such as hair or clothing. In addition, stay away
from overly strenuous exercise, as sweating may introduce bacteria to the piercing site, putting it at risk of infection.
