Surface Piercing Guide And Care
Surface piercing, also known as dermal piercing is any piercinginstalled on the surface of the body. It is quite different from anordinary body piercing. Ordinary body piercing has both entry andexit points of the jewelry. In order words, for body piercing thepiece of jewelry goes in through one point and come out throughanother. The commonest pieces of jewelry usually used for surfacepiercing are barbell and captive bead rings
But surface piercinggoes into the body and never come out through another. This impliesthe other part of the jewelry remains embedded in the body. You willonly see the head of the bead or jewelry on the body. This is whysurface piecing requires a lot of guide and care to avoid infectionsand other forms of complications.
Surface piercingrequires double piercing on the same spot. The anchor that would holdthe jewelry is first installed before the jewelry is inserted. Thisis usually done with the aid of either a punch or a needle.
You should neverallow your surface piercing to be done by just an ordinary person. Itshould be done by a professional because it is more difficult tohandle than a regular body piercing.
