Order Dermal Anchor attachments and plates online
The dermal anchor is something for die-hard piercing fans. This is a so-called "single point piercing". In comparison to double point piercings, the dermal anchor only has one place where the piercing jewelry protrudes from the skin. In comparison to other piercings, an anchor piercing can be anchored under the skin at almost any point on the body. In addition to suitable piercing jewelry for your anchor piercing, you will find all the important information on this page, from piercing to wound care.
What you should consider before piercing
As with any piercing, you should look for a suitable piercing studio beforehand. It is often worth reading Google reviews from previous customers or getting information from relevant piercing forums.
A reputable piercing studio is clean and well-maintained. The piercer will also explain everything you need to know about piercing the dermal anchor and the subsequent care of the piercing site. You will also normally be informed about the risks. If you have any questions, the piercer should also take enough time to answer them.
Tip: If you don't have a good feeling when you first enter a piercing studio, keep searching.
How to place a dermal anchor
We can reassure you, as with most other types of piercing, the actual piercing of a dermal anchor is a matter of three to four minutes at most. The individual steps for the piercing:
1. Disinfection of the skin
2. Mark the desired location
3. Piercing the skin with a biopsy punch or a hollow needle
4. Putting on the jewelry
After screwing on the anchor jewelry, the piercing should be secured with a plaster. Sports and a lot of movement in the body region should be avoided for the next two to three weeks. In addition, the piercing site should be disinfected and cleaned daily with appropriate care products in the first few weeks.
Dermal Anchor Piercing
Most popular body regions for dermal anchor piercing
Theoretically, the anchor piercing can be done in many different places on the body. However, single point piercings are most commonly done in these places:
• Cleavage / Breast
• Hip
• Neck
• Face
• Neck
• Intimate area
• Lower back
If you want to have the piercing done somewhere else on your body, this is theoretically possible in most cases. However, it is best to get personal advice from a piercing studio you trust.
Difference between Dermal Anchor and Skin Diver
A dermal anchor is often confused with a skin diver. A skin diver is also a single point piercing, but it is smaller than an anchor. The plate for fastening the skin diver is also round and, unlike the dermal anchor, has no holes. The small size therefore makes it possible to place several skin divers relatively close together.
By the way: In addition to skin divers and anchors, there is also the surface piercing, which is a popular surface piercing. Here, a so-called surface bar is placed under the skin using a needle.
Dermal Anchor Care
We are often asked whether you can do sports with a dermal anchor or go to the sauna or solarium. You should definitely avoid these in the first few weeks after the piercing! Until the piercing site has completely healed, you should protect the area of your body as much as possible and move as little as possible. You should also always wash your hands beforehand for daily care and cleaning. In the first few days, it is also advisable to cover the piercing with a plaster. The plaster should be changed daily.
Note: If you notice any signs of inflammation, you should consult a doctor immediately because the risk of infection is greater with single point piercings than with a tragus or septum piercing, for example.
