A dermal anchor is a small piece of jewellery 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 jewellery. 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 jewellery will need to be removed, including the
dermal anchors.
