Surface Piercings & Anchors
For either of these options, the visible, decorative portion needs to be a flat, low profile option such as a disk or flat gem. Cluster options like trinities/trios, flowers, and pave disks also work well.
AVERAGE HEALING TIME: 6 MONTHS OR LONGER
Surface Bars
A surface bar is a staple shaped piece of jewelry that allows piercing of a flat surface. Surface bars are closer to “standard” piercings and can be placed on many flat areas of the body. This includes facial placements, like in front of the tragus and horizontal eyebrow, and on the sternum.
For these piercings to heal correctly, a proper surface bar must be used and the piercing must be shaped to fit the bar. When these are done with curved bars, they almost always reject.
Surface Bar, single
One piercing with a staple shaped surface bar. Longer lasting than surface anchors. Acceptable placements include: surface tragus, anti-eyebrow, horizontal eyebrow, 3rd eye/center forehead, below collarbone, center chest/sternum, and above hips. Jewelry priced separately.
Surface Bar, two
Two piercings with a staple shaped surface bars. Longer lasting than surface anchors. Acceptable placements include: surface tragus, anti-eyebrow, horizontal eyebrow, 3rd eye/center forehead, below collarbone, center chest/sternum, and above hips. Jewelry priced separately.
Surface Anchors
The internet may say that these must be surgically removed, but that is generally not true. We can usually remove them with standard piercing tools. The exceptions would be if the top falls off and the skin grows completely over the top, or low quality anchors that become damaged in the skin. In those cases, the jewelry would need to be surgically removed by a doctor.
Surface Anchor, single
Surface anchor/single point piercing service. These piercings are long term temporary. Acceptable placements include: around eye, center forehead, center chest, and back dimple. Jewelry priced separately.
