Skin Pocketing, Piercing and Trans Dermal Implants

Dermal implants are also known as skin pocketing or anti-piercing. It is a piercing that lies on the surface of the skin. It is a regular piercing except the piercing is held in by a pocket under the skin such as tissue. This procedure was created by Ben from The House of Colors. Dermal piercings are known as implants because they have to be surgically removed. A family doctor can removed them, it doesn't take much but it's not like a normal piercing where you take it out yourself.
Most piercings you can take out the whole piercing and change it yourself where as dermal piercings, you can only change the tops of them because the stem of the piercing is not removable.
I had a dermal stud in between my chest that was a diamond stud. I know, it sounds weird or crazy but it was actually very cute. When getting it pierced the lady massaged the tissue around the area then pierced it like a real piercing except at the bottle of this piercing there were two little hooks which I call footers. She then pushes the footers deep into the tissue so that the piercing will stay. The skin tissue heals around the piercing so that it stays in place. Due to surgery last week, the surgeon had to cut the dermal out before he could preform surgery because it would've caused me to be at high risk for infection. Now I have 5 stitches where the piercing was so I will probably have a scar there. I'm not sure if the scaring is worth it but it was cute while it lasted.

  1. I have a dermal implant and when they did mine, they started like a regular piercing and then took the needle back to make a pocket for the anchor to go into. As you said, the top is the only thing that may be changed. I couldn't imagine getting it removed. It sounds like it would be more painful than getting the implant itself.
