What to Expect

A dermal anchor (microdermal) is a single-point surface piercing — unlike traditional piercings, it has only one visible end. Your piercer creates a small pocket under the skin and seats the anchor's foot, leaving just the decorative top visible.

Placement is incredibly flexible — cheekbones, collarbone, chest, hips, wrists. Your piercer will assess the area for skin movement and tension, which determines how well a dermal will hold long-term.

Healing takes 3–6 months. Dermals require careful aftercare — snagging them on clothing or towels is the most common cause of rejection. Keep the area clean and protected.

Common Questions

How long do dermal piercings last?+
With proper placement and care, years. The main causes of rejection are improper placement (high-movement areas), poor aftercare, and snagging. Well-placed dermals on stable skin can last a decade or more.
Does removing a dermal leave a scar?+
A small mark — usually minimal if removed by a professional. DIY removal or ripping them out causes significantly worse scarring. If you ever want a dermal removed, come in and let us do it properly.
How much does a dermal piercing cost in San Antonio?+
Dermal piercings at Platinum Tattoos & Piercings start at $50–$80 plus jewelry. The anchor and a basic titanium top are included. Decorative gem tops, gold ends, and custom designs are available.
