Dermals are a type of piercing that goes under the skin. To get them, the piercer creates a little pocket under the skin and inserts a base of the dermal (it looks like a foot shape to ensure it doesn't fall out), and then they can screw a ball or gem on the top of it.

Can dermal waist piercings be removed while pregnant?
Dermal anchors, micro dermals are made from grade 23 surgical titanium. They will not effect nor cause any issues with MRI or CAT scan machines, grade 23 titanium is non-magnetic. Now "most dermals" have holes in the feet to allow the body to knit or form tissue to the dermal foot to hold the dermal in place. "waist piercings" done with dermals should not pose an issue to an up to date OBGYN or GP. Simply wiping the dermal down with Providone Iodine and applying a bandage over the dermal during delivery should be fine and this will prevent possible cross contamination should a "C" section be required. The "less than knowledgeable" OBGYN or GP will tell you that the dermals will need to be removed. If the dermal is of the standard design and happens to have holes in the feet, they will need to be removed by your piercer or other professional piercer who knows what they are doing to minimize the soft tissue damage during removal. The average GP doesn't know how this jewellery works and they tend to be way too rough and scalpel happy in an attempt to remove the dermals. This tends to lead to excessive scarring. I would suggest you talk to your GP and or OBGYN and get there opinion as to which way to go, leave them in as I have stated or remove them and have them replaced after the delivery date.

Honestly, hip dermals don't last very long. And with your belly growing and what not they would most likely push themselves out unless you get them removed really early.

Prices varies from shop to shop. You'll have to call around and ask. Just be aware that a barbell in that area will reject extremely quickly.

Which method is safer A surface hip piercing or a micro dermals implant?
Microdermals last longer but they're easier to rip out. Micros are better better they move better and they don't affect as much skin as the surface bar. But I have to add that hips piercings in general don't even last a year. Theres just too much friction and contact in that area for them to last.

Can you get a dermal anchor anywhere?
NoHere's the problem with dermal anchors, some less experienced piercers are throwing dermal anchors in were ever the clients wants them, this is not only irresponsible it's also dangerous. An experienced professional piercer will work with the body and the locations that show minimal body movement through a range of motion. These locations that will be less apt to be subjected to snagging and tearing. You also need to know that what you see on the web is quite often not reality, but photo opportunities that never really last due to snagging, tearing and rejection. Be sure you are dealing with someone who can provide the dermals *legally in your area and has the professionalism and knowledge to do it right. (*Dermal anchoring is illegal in some US states).Case in point: I have had over ten ladies come in over the last 8 months with rejected and torn dermal anchors done by *"brand X" ( *I am being polite here by not naming the shop directly ). All the dermals have been placed in areas that were clearly subject to outside irritation, snagging and tearing. This is a clear case of a inexperienced uncaring money hungry person making a mess out of people just to get money, there is no post piercing support for the client and it's a "well tough for you" attitude. Truly unprofessional behaviour toward the clients and the craft.Dermal anchors are not piercings but body modifications that will eventually need to be removed by a licensed Doctor, professional body piercers can not legally remove these once they are healed. If you ever need to go for a CAT scan or MRI procedure all jewellery must be removed "this includes the dermal anchors". So weight this information in your mind before you run off getting something done, discuss your ideas with your professional body piercer. There are surface piercing options that will easily offer the same effect as a dermal without the hassles that surround dermal anchors. A true professional will discuss the options with you and work in concert with your ideas to make them a reality that will last. It's needs to make sense to you, now and down the road, if it doesn't then maybe it's a bad idea.
