Surface Anchors, Single-point Piercings, "Dermals"
⚓️
Well placed anchors can last years, but it's important to know that if you're adventurous enough to have them inserted, chances are, at some point, you will need to have them removed.
⚓️
Slow rejection and migration of the jewelry up to the skin's surface is a common ending for these types of piercings.
One particularly forceful snag can pull a portion of the jewelry out of the skin, leaving the rest of the jewelry hanging on by a thread 🫣
In these circumstances where the piercing isn't able to be salvaged, it may be necessary to have a piercing professional remove your jewelry.
⚓️
When it's time to have your anchor removed:
*Choose a piercer who has extensive experience removing them.
*You should not be charged exorbitant amounts of money to have them removed.
*In no way does typical removal require any type of "surgical" procedure.
*The whole process should be a fairly quick event -- taking them out should be about as fast as putting them in was.
