Micro Dermal Anchor Piercing

[fblopr]

Got mine 2 weeks ago and it didn't hurt at ALL even if it was my first piercing and I was fucking scared! :D Gonna get the next one as soon as possible! :)

[HorrorEatsBrains]

O.o". That's pretty bad ass, but damn that looks brutal!

[7duffsANDaBUDlight]

ouch!! that looks super painful but it looks so neat and artistic in the end.

[Ilovesummer14]

what's the song?

[BassPlayer121692]

Of all the piercings I've seen and studied this one "looks" the most painful. This could just be becuase of the blood, what do you all think. I'm an aspiring piercer and I need all the knowledge I can soak up before my apprentiship!

[seandherbert100]

that is awesome!!

[bowchicabowwow69]

Ive had a microdermal on the hallow of my throat for a year now, and it has yet to push its way out. [:

[msatwater1V]

Hey what song did you use for this video. I love it. I just keep watching it over because I can't find the name of it.

[msatwater1V]

What is the song on this video mr. monkey?

[DENMONKEY]

@msatwater1V bandwitch by broken social scene. sorry for such a long delay in a response. Seems I wasn't getting all of the comments :(

[Atlastatt]

Very nice. I love the idea of getting some in a constellation. That's odd that they migrated out. I have one on my forehead, just above and to the left of my eyebrow. I bumped it like mad the first few weeks I had it, but it healed just fine. I just got another on my wrist today, so hopefully that one stays in :3 I'd hate for that one to reject or migrate.

[cherryXXwhore]

i;m sixteen, getting two dermals soon on my cleavage, just researching them. how long did yours take to migrate out? and did you just take them out or go back to the peircing place?

thanks.

<3

[ScarletScreamer]

Hey I thought you had to be over 18 to get one?

[SydneyVindication]

@cherryXXwhore You're just lucky that you found a legit piercer to do them on a 16 year old. I was under the impression that they were 18+ piercings because they are considered to be implants.

[KaitlynNSon]

Wow, im going to Sacred Art soon to get my dermals done!

[meeperz1985]

did that hurt or did they freeze?

[despoinazoe]

they 're amazing! I just pierced my tongue and I am thinking of getting 2 on my hips when it heals.

[MoanaLindsey]

ouch? lol i guess it looks painful but really isn't.

[Brandi3328]

i just got a few of these done today so i was just checking out other ppl's! buuut i love the idea of the constellation. very neat!:)

[Brandi3328]

i just got a few of these done today so i was just checking out other ppl's! buuut i love the idea of the constellation. very neat:)

[TheEodtch]

people get stupider by the second.

[DENMONKEY]

each to their own.

You're right though.

Some people even think we get work like this done to seek the approval of others.

Thanks for the comment anyway.

[BnBeej]

i loved getting my dermal done, i got one done on my chest and it looks amazing but i only paid 60 bucks for it i need to get more there addicting.. and what is the song on this video i dig it

[bgarcia7841]

looks painful

[nayoungk]

Awesome video!

And, can all micro dermal piercings be permanent with good care?

[DENMONKEY]

sorry for the late reply.

I'd like to think I took good care of them even though they migrated out.

Kept them bandaged/covered for a few months and longer when playing sport.

yet they still came out...all of them.

I think placement is key in keeping them long term

[CuriousTashaGeorge]

what song is this?

[666kms666]

does it hurt and can or how do you remove it???

[DENMONKEY]

not so much. Just a little annoying more than anything.

If they grow in properly then they have to be taken out with a scalpel.

[CrownedxLoseer]

i got two on the back of my neck for my 16th yesterday :D still got the bandages on them until tommrow, so excited to have a look at it,

mine didnt hurt until the bit where there put the ancor thing in, worst part,

yours looks heaps good :)

[nathanducky]

Far out! u got ur dermals done real close together! i got mine done just after aussie day.. top to bottoms bout 8cm.. did you find it painful mate?

[emma2k516]

i just got one anchor in my wrist and nearly passed out hahaa looks awesome tho! =]

[AnimalWhispers911]

Thanks for the video bro. Getting ribs done this week. Loks fun.

[DENMONKEY]

No Probs champ, Remember to stick pics up on BME.

[drmstx]

great video, i really want to get 2 on my stomach, i did hours of research for the past two days to see if this was right for me and i've decided to get it, now i just gotta figure out where and how much haha. thanks for the video

[DENMONKEY]

Hope you enjoy your new work.

[xxxneliexxx]

But isn't this dangerous if you need to be 'shocked' back to life?

And in surgery wouldn't you have to have them removed?

[DENMONKEY]

Can't live your life on what ifs.

I've also had surgery just after getting new work and they simply placed tape over them.

Depends on the nature of the surgery I guess.

For more information consult your GP :)

[alice4x5]

I'm thinking of doing this....was it painful?

[DENMONKEY]

How long is a piece of string Alice :)

it all depends on you really.

For me personally I would say it was more of an annoying sensation than a painful one.

That said the most annoying part of it was when the hair on my chest was pulled when the tops went on. I don't think you will have that problem :)

Besides I'm sure you have kicked your toe and that hurts a lot more than getting this done.

You survived that didn't you ?

[sarahcougar2004]

Thank you so much for posting this. I'm thinking of getting this procedure done, andI feel this video helped to educate me.

[DENMONKEY]

You're welcome. Thanks for checking it out.

Good luck with your decision and new work :)

[lichnight1]

eew this is gross

[DENMONKEY]

Fair enough. It's not for everyone.

[airborneniksmom]

I got the constellation of orion on my back.

Luckily, my girlfriend is a physician and did it for free. Just had to pay for the jewelry. Looks great. I am going to place my first one today on my friend.

Good video and good technique,

I think here in Florida the price is about 65.00 usd. Not too many places actually do them though and someone told me that only a physician can do them in florida legally? Not sure if that is true.

[hxcstar17]

I'm sorry if I missed it somewhere, but what band is this? Awesome work too.

[DENMONKEY]

The song is by Broken Social Scene and is called bandwitch .

[LucidasStella]

It's interesting to see that they used a skin biopsy punch. I had mine done last Thursday and my artist used a piercing needle. And the price has come way down. I paid 160 Euro for 3, a little over $200. If anyone has video using a piercing needle please let me know. I had mine done on my back, so I wasn't able to see it done.

[PeggyInTheUSA]

my piercer used also the punch and i paid for 2 in my neck 90 $. i think with the piercing needle it is ways more painful

[DENMONKEY]

Hi LMB They were around $600 but I'm pretty sure prices have come down quite a bit since then :)

[BlackChynaDoll1990]

wow you can get it done for £601 in the uk thats about $120. u paied quite alot

[DENMONKEY]

These were done quite a while ago when the anchors will still very new and there were not many piercers who were offering them.

I trust my piercer and considered it worth every cent.

Don't regret getting them at all.

[chapterofpain]

you can get one for 45 quid where i live

[LoveMyBebe08]

how much did they cost??

[KalleProject115]

personally in aus its only about 150 for a single with plane ball on top.

[06philse]

ive been quoted 120 a pop. however i got 10 done on my chest for 800 total.

[jessk92]

I'm from Australia and there's this place close to me that does it for $90.

It's not a dodgy place either, most people say it's a great place to get piercings.

[butterflyaway1119]

I thought these had a pretty low rejection rate... That's one of the reasons they're favored over surface piercings.

I am getting one done tomorrow on my sternum; which I had a surface piercing there twice, with problems, so I'm hoping this dermal anchor works out! haha I'll post a video of it too! lol

Your project did look pretty awesome!

[DENMONKEY]

Thanks for the comments and good luck with yours.

[blondetouch]

Ive got one done on my wrist, there not really painfull but when the diamond gets screwed in it kinda hurts, and if you touch oit afterwards its painfully, you can also get it surgecally removed or the diamond changed but i think that would be too sore. Dont get them people! i got it done because its unique! lol

[Cellofanpapper]

Too sad that your body rejected the anchors, they looked relly good! Very nice concept. I'm thinking about getting one or two of these on my hands; do you think it's possible or that is is ,just as you say, too much "movement" in the area too keep them from healing?

[TofuCi]

omg. does it hurt? cos if it doesn't, i want to get one! =D

[DENMONKEY]

It's all relative but I would have to say these were some of the least painful items I've had done.

More uncomfortable or annoying than any real pain.

It actually hurt more when the tops were being screwed in and pulled the hair on my chest :)

If pain is your only concern then get it done.

You will wonder why you waited so long ......

[biewerlady]

Hmh...if you would have just let it heal do you think there would be any scar? Did you have to have yours cut out?

[DENMONKEY]

I think they would have left a scar yes but somewhat smaller than what they have now.

All of them rejected to some point or another.

The final one I pulled out since there was no point keeping it in and it was the only one to have connective tissue growing through the foot.

I don't think having them removed would result in too much scaring as they only have a small footprint and any connective tissue I would imagine would only require the smallest of cutting. Still ask your piercer for sure:)

[lilmizslani]

are they supposed to reject?

[DENMONKEY]

Did I want them to reject ? No.

There was always the possibility of it though and I was aware of it.

I was still disappointed when they did.

Any piercing has some risk that this may happen but it can be lessened by good placement and the correct techniques originally.

However there are many other factors with rejections and sometimes it is just luck of the draw.

Surface work is notorious for being hard to keep long term and for the most part should probably not be viewed as permanent :(

[lilmizslani]

i still want one. [sigh] i think i will just try my luck anyway. =/ sorry they didnt work out for you.

[DENMONKEY]

Don't be sorry :) I enjoyed them whilst I had them.

I wouldn't want anyone to be put of by mine rejecting.

Simply use my experience to make an informed decision which ever way you go.

Hopefully the will work out for you.

Good luck

[NoQuieroMorir]

how long did you have them before they were rejected?

:)

[DENMONKEY]

I'd say it was around 8-10 months in total

[NoQuieroMorir]

Okay, Thanks for your reply :)

[biewerlady]

Hey, I want of get an arrow shape done on my chest but am kinda worried cuz I keep hearing that its permanent and that you have to get them surgically removed? You said that yours migrated out after 8 months? What did it leave for scarring? Did they move around at all in the 8 months?

[DENMONKEY]

Have a bit of a look at the jewelry that is used and you will see that have holes in the feet. This is to create an anchor point once the connective tissue under the skin grows through it. If they heal well and as it is intended they will need to be cut out. As far as scarring I wanted something left over once they had rejected so I kept the holes open by promoting them to bleed on a daily basis. I now have small scars at each point where there was an anchor.

[DENMONKEY]

Sorry for the late reply.

I can only say based on my experience and research. Check BME for more info.

Yes the moved around quite a bit and due to sport a few of them were pulled out and I had to push them back in. So their life was not simple.

often I could feel they had twisted and the foot was not in the right position. I was able to turn them back to their right orientation but obviously this impeded healing a great deal.

[EmilyHeartsReptar]

gorgeous, i just got my hips done =]

[blazexxxii]

omg! that looked so painful! did it hurt badly? and also, what is the name of that song in the background?

[DENMONKEY]

The song is by Broken Social Scene and is called bandwitch .

[BLZNDECHEEBA]

i want both my wrist anchored :D :D cant wait!!

[ramoonga]

MUY BUENO

MUY

[crissyddd]

is this better than geting a surface piercing?- can it reject?

[DENMONKEY]

With the majority of surface work you are always looking at a fairly high risk of rejection.

Unfortunately these all rejected in a little over 8 months.

There was simply too much movement in that area and my leather motorbike jacket used to irritate the area (I ride often and this had an obvious impact on the work )

[smellif33t]

I disagree. Like you said the high movement area and jacket caused your to reject. I have one on each side of my neck (low movement, no clothing to interfere) and they are doing great (they are about 6-7 months old now)

Micros have less chance of rejecting than a surface piercing though.

[Pixieism]

It really looks great !

Love the choice of song too btw. :)

[rinabina88]

I have one just today! mine only cost 60! the only thing to worry about is if it gets infected then... well.. your screwed.

[0021rawr]

how much did this cost u? cus im getting 3 at the side of my hip in like a triangle patter in liek 3 days and id really liek to know the cost/pain

thanks!

[DENMONKEY]

I've just replied re the pain thing a little further up. When I got these the cost was fairly high and it was around the $600 mark. I believe the cost of the jewelry has come down quite a bit with various producers jumping in on the action.

[EvilAndWicked]

very beautiful and kind of sexy :) very good idea in use of microdermals :)

[Fetus133]

hey man, did you get that done in australia? i have been tryin to find places that do subdermals. a lot of places i have asked havent even heard of them!

[nikkibaldwin]

A subdermal implant requires surgery. It is not the same as a micro dermal

[smellif33t]

Not true. You can get them done at certain body mod studios. But I have had the same problem being australian!

[xoxsmileysmileyxox]

wow!thats so kool :) i want some, did it hurt much compared to ur other piercings?

how much did that cost you?

please reply asap?

[DENMONKEY]

oops sorry for the delay. no not a lot of pain involved but it depends on what work you already have done. The sensation was more of an annoyance than anything else.

[notthisanon]

Had mine done in Frankston at alleycatz found it to be less painful than a surface piercing heals quicker too

[Shazzasaloon91]

Looks great! That is really creative use of microdermals. It would look awesome with little diamond-set balls so the stars twinkle just like the real thing ;o)

[mellokmm07]

ow, ow, ow, ow, ow

[chrishellz]

Thats really cool! =)

[DENMONKEY]

Im Glad you enjoyed the clip.

The song is by Broken Social Scene and is called bandwitch .

You're welcome

[lefiokimaru]

highly interesting video!

Thank you for posting this.

May I ask who made the song?

I must have it in my collection!!

Thanks again

Lefio~

[DENMONKEY]

Depends on what you're used to JA. I have quite a few other piercings and all things considered this is probably one of the easiest processes to sit or lay through. They do take some special care to maintain once in for a few months and are surprisinly easy to catch on things. So keep that in mind when you consider placemen. Good luck

[DENMONKEY]

Hey Kenedaj, the southern cross is a prominent constellation of stars visible here in Australia.

I've always appreciated it and figure why not.

Thanks for the comment

[jackass73]

how much did that hurt? cos i want one :)

[kenedaj]

wow.. nice.. how'd you come up with that pattern? it looks great..
