Walk-ins are always welcome, and our flexible hours mean you can get your dermal implant on your schedule.

Dermal implants—often called microdermals—are a form of body modification where a small anchor is placed just beneath the skin, allowing for a gem or decorative top to sit flush and secure on the surface. The process starts with a personalized consultation: our artist evaluates your anatomy, discusses your vision, and identifies optimal placement for both safety and visual impact.

The procedure is considered “pseudo-invasive”—more advanced than standard piercings but less intense than surgery. Using sterile, single-use tools and BBP-compliant protocols, the artist creates a tiny pocket under the skin. The anchor is inserted and the jewelry of your choice is attached, instantly creating a dramatic, eye-catching effect.

Curious if dermal implants are right for you? Our team is ready to answer your questions and help you make an informed, confident choice.

Your safety is our top priority. Skin City 2 Tattoo exceeds Ulster County standards by requiring Bloodborne Pathogen (BBP) licensing for all artists—a voluntary measure that signals our commitment to the highest sanitation and procedural protocols.

We use only medical-grade, hypoallergenic jewelry for dermal implants, and every procedure is performed in a meticulously cleaned, gallery-inspired environment. Our artists are trained not only in placement but also in the essential aftercare practices that keep your microdermal healthy and vibrant. You’ll receive a step-by-step aftercare guide and access to premium products, ensuring your new look heals beautifully and lasts.

Choose Skin City 2 Tattoo for dermal implants that blend technical mastery, safety, and the welcoming spirit of Kingston’s creative community.
