It is important to choose high quality materials for your dermal anchor. At Blue Banana, we have selected stylish designs made from strong durable materials to keep your piercing feeling comfortable and looking great. Designed to ensure your surface piercing stays secure while looking stunning, our dermal piercing studs will help you to switch up the look of your microdermal piercing.

The microdermal piercing is growing in reputation as a form of surface piercing because it is implanted into the skin to prevent rejection, which is why it can be better than using a barbell for your piercing. With all sorts of add ons in our collection, you can personalise your new accessory with a dermal top in any colour or with a jewel.

It is essential to visit a qualified experienced piercer to get your dermal piercing as the piercing procedure involves making a small incision in the skin and the correct placement is vital for successful healing. At our Blue Banana piercing studios, you will be pierced in a safe and sterile environment and will be able to talk to one of our piercers if you encounter any problems during healing.

If you have recently had a new dermal stud piercing and are looking to bring your own style to it, we recommend checking out the designs in our dermal anchor tops range so you can change your piercing once it has fully healed.

Available in a range of styles and colours, we’ve got everything you’ll need for a great looking surface piercing. Due to their internally threaded design, you have the option to replace the visible section of this accessory with a design of your choice without having to seek professional help - all you need to do is simply unscrew and replace.

The principle of surface piercing is becoming more and more popular, although in piercing terms it is still a relatively new technique. The options for placement of this piercing range from the dermal piercing face or hip dermals to various other areas of the body, which are only limited by a person’s anatomy and the body’s willingness to accept a foreign object in that area.

The reason dermal anchors have become such a popular form of surface piercing is because of their extremely low rejection rate and because they produce less scarring when removed. The scars from dermal piercings tend to be flat and less discoloured compared to other piercing scars, especially if you have treated the scar with something like Jojoba Oil.

The great thing about micro dermal anchors is that they are more secure once healed compared to other surface piercings. This is because during the healing process the skin heals around the holes on the base of the dermal piercing jewellery. After getting your microdermal piercing, there is a 3 – 6 month period where the dermal top should not be touched as any aggravation could cause the jewellery to move closer to the surface of the skin which could increase the risk of rejection. Once your dermal anchor piercing is in place it is important to be wary of the jewellery catching on your clothing.

We offer a range of dermal anchor tops that can replace the standard top that your accessory comes with, giving you the chance to adopt a new style for your piercing every day. Our collection offers a host of colours and designs, so there is guaranteed to be something that’ll take your fancy.

All our piercing jewellery is made from biocompatible materials so you can rest assured that your new body jewellery is suitable for your piercing. Dermal piercing studs are available in a range of materials so you can choose the material that best suits your skin. Titanium jewellery is a great choice for dermal piercings as it is non-corrosive and hypoallergenic but surgical steel is also a popular choice and can be used once your dermal piercing has fully healed. Surgical steel is usually cheaper than titanium piercing jewellery so is perfect if you want to add to your collection to allow you to regularly change the look of your microdermal piercing.

While these piercings are not as popular as the traditional ear, nose or lip piercings, a surface piercing is definitely a body modification which is growing in popularity. With any surface piercing, safety is at the top of the list, and you need the best quality body jewellery in order to reduce the risk that your piercing will be rejected by your body. Depending on the area that you choose to have pierced, you will need to be very careful that you do not cause additional stress to the area, as there is a high chance of rejection of any surface piercing.

Customising your dermal piercing may seem daunting at first but once your piercing has fully healed you will see how easy it is to unscrew one dermal top in order to swap it for another. If you are unsure about changing your own dermal top jewellery you can come into a Blue Banana store where one of our piercers will help you to change your jewellery. So what are you waiting for? It is time to get customising your dermal piercing.
