What is a Dermal Anchor?
Jul 26th
Microdermals (also known as , surface anchors, and single point piercings) are becoming increasingly popular within the body piercing community. Unfortunately, they are also becoming some of the most dangerous of piercings. Of course, when entrusting your body to a professional piercer who has been properly trained in the insertion of microdermals, you significantly diminish the danger of the piercing.
Dermal Anchors are a single point piercing that can be placed anywhere on the body. It gives the appearance of a small single bead on the skin. This procedure is still very much in its infancy. Several practitioners have been experimenting with different jewelery designs and insertion techniques. The current most popular method of performing a dermal anchoring is very similar to the punch and taper technique for surface piercing. A single hole is made with a small dermal punch, and a taper is used to elevate some of the skin around it to allow for jewelery insertion. A common place to get a dermal, is on the wrist. But these may need to be removed if your body starts rejecting it, or if you need to take it out for other reasons, like a job. Removing the dermal from your wrist before it rejects can prevent scarring. This body modification is considered semi-permanent. To remove the jewelery, the area around it is massaged, and the piece manipulated gently out.
In some states, dermal anchors are prohibited by law for body piercers to perform. The reason for this is that it is technically a medical procedure typically preformed with medical tools: the dermal punch. When it comes to legality, it can be hard to find information on where dermal anchors are really legal verses where piercers are willing to do them. You can try searching online, but it will probably be easier to find a trusted piercer and ask him/her if they are legal in your state, and if they are able to show proof of their legality.
Piercing Pain and the Younger Generations
Jul 10th
Body piercings are increasingly popular these days among younger generations. Kids in their preteens are seeking out body jewelry more and more. While this idea is exciting and trendy, you might be wondering, “What is the legal age to get a body piercing?” In most states, the legal age to get a piercing is 18 without a parents consent. If your parent tells you that you have to wait until the legal age, you should do so. If a piercer gives you a body piercing before you are of legal age, he could be in danger of legal action. With this being said, you are welcome to get whatever piercing you like as long as mom and dad agree to it.
You might want to consider however, if you are mature enough to handle the pain associated with a piercing. The level of pain depends largely on the location of the piercing. The most common piercing is still the fleshy part of the lower ear lobe. This piercing is only painful for a moment, and most people find it quite bearable. The pain is not very severe because the piercing only goes through flesh. Piercings that go through cartilage are more painful. Therefore, piercing the top part of the ear, which is comprised of flesh and cartilage, is more painful than piercing the fleshy, bottom part of the ear. The tongue, which is a muscle, is also a painful part of the body to have pierced. Some piercings are more painful because they are done in sensitive areas. For example, nipple and genital piercings can be very painful because those areas are very sensitive. Below is a list of piercing pain rankings from least painful to most painful.
- Eyebrow
- Earlobe
- Tongue
- Navel
- Nostril
- Labret/Lip
- Female Nipple
- Cartilage Piercings
- Male Nipple
- Genitals
Note: Pain is completely relative to the individual.
Tongue Piercing
Jul 4th
The origin of tongue piercing dates back to ancient Australian habitats as well as Aztec and Maya cultures. In many religions such as Islam, Sufis and Fakirs in the Middle East nations, it is custom practice to pierce the tongue. History shows many illustrations of priests piercing their tongue, although it was not done as a permanent body modification. It was practice to either draw blood from or pass rough cords through the hole to honor the gods.
Permanent tongue piercings have been made mainstream by today’s society. It has now been transformed into one of the most fashionable and most popular body piercings among younger generations worldwide.
Tongue rings, as they are sometimes called, come in various sizes and designs that attract a large group of people towards tongue piercing. Most tongue piercings are performed using a 10 – 14 gauge barbell using a standard piercing procedure. Some piercers have performed this piercing by cutting lengthwise along the grain of the tongue to install the initial jewelry, usually a plug of some kind. Other people choose to stretch their piercing to a larger size enabling them to wear hollow barbells to reduce the weight on the tissue.
Tongue piercing is done by piercing the tongue along the midline of the organ and the jewelry is tucked in at the right place by the cleaver. Any misappropriate piercing may cause serious damage to the blood vessels and nerves of the tongue leading to many other risk factors such as speticity, paralysis and sometimes insensibility of the tongue. Therefore, be careful in selecting your tongue piercer and also the tongue jewelry.

For example, how long they have been in the business, their name, if they have a license or if they have received any medical training. Ask as many questions as you feel comfortable with so that you understand what you are getting in to before it starts. If they have a problem answering any questions or you just don’t feel comfortable, get up and leave.

When you think of the most sexist part of your body, your belly button is probably not high on your list. It can become far more attractive by simply adorning is with a great looking belly button ring. People are always curious about them and can become a focal point or topic of conversation when you meet.
Belly Piercings have become immensely popular since the early 90s and are seen as a fashion accessory worn by most fashion conscious people all over the world. The popularization of the piercing, however, is accredited to the 1993 Aerosmith music video for their song “Cryin”, where Alicia Silverstone has her navel pierced. Not to mention, many top models appeared sporting their navel rings in public as well. The other reason for the popularity of this ring is their ability to be hidden under the clothing. So if you do not like to show your fashion accessory then a navel ring is the best option. This type of Body Piercing has become very fashionable especially among the younger generation of women. The most common form of navel piercing is through the upper rim of the navel. A true navel piercing requires the person being pierced to have an “outie” navel to some degree, and is getting more popular these days.
Nose Piercing
Jun 20th
Nose piercing has a long history. The first recorded nose piercing was approximately 4,000 years ago. The Vedas refer to Lakshmi’s nose piercings, but modern practice in India is believed to have spread from the Middle Eastern nomadic tribes in the 16th century. It is sometimes joined to the ear by a chain, and in some places both nostrils are pierced. The left side is the most common to be pierced in India, because that is the spot associated in Ayuvedra (Indian medicine) with the female reproductive organs. The piercing is supposed to make childbirth easier and lessen period pain. This piercing is sometimes done the night before the woman marries and is her security if she is divorced.
Many Native American and Alaskan tribes practiced septum piercing. It was popular among the Aztecs and Mayans and the tribes of New Guinea, who adorned their pierced noses with bones and feathers to symbolize wealth and (among men) virility. Nose piercing also remains popular in Pakistan and Bangladesh and is practiced in a number of Middle Eastern and Arabic countries.
It is mentioned in The Bible in Genesis 24:22. Abraham requested his oldest servant to find a wife for his son Isaac. The servant found Rebekah, and one of the gifts he gave her was a “golden earring”. The original Hebrew word used was Shanf, which also translates as “nose-ring”.
In the west, nose piercing first appeared among the hippies who traveled to India in the Late 1960′s. It was later adopted by the Punk movement of the late 1970′s as a symbol of rebellion against conservative values, and conservative people like parents and employers still don’t react to it well.
Nowadays nose piercing is gradually becoming more socially acceptable, and many celebrities have their nose pierced. For example, Madonna, Lenny Kravitz, Sinead O’Connor, and Slash from Guns & Roses.
