Microdermal Closeup Photos

I’ve posted a few of these microdermals and dermal anchors lately. For those of you not up on the technology, it’s sort of half way between transdermal implants and single point pocketing. The strong advantage over transdermal implants is their non-invasive nature — no secondary incisions, sutures, or special tools are needed. Here’s a gorgeous titanium and blue opal example, outside and inside the body by James Wisniewski at Body Electric in Hollywood, CA.

First Microdermals in Place

Check out these new “microdermals” (jewelry by JD) by John at Scarab in Syracuse, NY. My feeling is that transdermals, at least the current “labret clover” technology, have too low a success rate, so I’m very interested in dermal anchors like these (which even if they don’t have a higher success rate in the end, at least are easy to remove, unlikely to go toxic, and don’t leave a major scar).

“Eye Boogie”

It’s not often these days that I get to post what I consider to be an entirely “new” piercing, but thanks to Ben Trigg at House of Color in Colorado Springs, I’ve got one for you today. I’ll post more on it later, but here’s what he calls an “eye boogie” (if I’m reading what I’m seeing right, it’s closer to a single-point pocketing or a transdermal than an eyelid piercing by the way)…
