Surface Piercings

(Service Prices Below DO NOT Include Jewelry)

Anchor - A surface anchor is a single point piercing, meaning it has an entrance point with no exit point, thus creating a pocket in the skin to allow an anchor to heal within. Anchors can be placed almost anywhere on the body that has a flatter exterior and limited stretching or movement of the site. Please Note: Anchors are a semi permanent piercing, meaning that you cannot remove the anchor base if wanting to keep the piercing. You can however, change the tops, once well healed. Some common examples are listed below.
Healing Time: 2-4 months

Surface Bar - A surface bar, much like an anchor, needs to be placed in a flat tissue area, but has an entrance and exit point. They are performed with a staple shaped surface bar to give the appearance of 2 piercings sitting flat on the skin. Please Note: Surface Bars are a semi permanent piercing, meaning that you cannot remove the bar if wanting to keep the piercing. You can however, change the tops, once well healed. Some common examples are listed below.

Some Common Surface Placement Examples Are

Anti-Eyebrow/Teardrop - Placed in the tissue atop the highest crest of the cheekbone toward the outer edge of the eye. It is like a traditional eyebrow piercing but flipped down below the eye instead of above. The angle may be diagonal, horizontal, or any orientation in which the tissue can be pinched and, therefore, pierced. Piercing is typically done in 18,16 or 14 gauge pending location, anatomy, surface anchor or surface bar jewelry and desired look.

Vertical Bridge or Third Eye - A vertical surface piercing placed between the eyebrows or somewhat above them. If the tissue is pliable enough, it may be placed slightly higher, on the lower portion of the forehead. This can be performed with a Surface Anchor or Surface bar in 16 or 14 gauge.
Warning: The same hazards of horizontal piercing in this region also apply (see the warning for the bridge piercing, above)

Sideburn Piercing - A vertical piercing on the facial surface in front of the tragus. This can be performed with a Surface Anchor or Surface bar in 16 or 14 gauge.
Warning: These are apt to bleed more than many other areas and may scar significantly. Your piercer should observe while you open and close your mouth and make facial expressions because migration and other issues are likely when these are placed in an area with much movement.
