What is a Dermal Anchor?
A dermal anchor is a single-point piercing. A small titanium base sits beneath the skin, with a decorative top visible at the surface. Unlike traditional piercings, there's no exit hole — the jewelry appears to emerge from nowhere.
Popular Placements We Do Daily

- Lower back dimples — bilateral placement, shows in swimwear and crop tops

Frequently Asked Questions
