What is a microdermal piercing?

A microdermal is a single-point piercing that uses a small anchor placed beneath the surface of the skin with a decorative jewelry top visible above it. Unlike traditional piercings, there is no separate entry and exit point.

Where can microdermal piercings be placed?

Microdermals can be placed in several areas of the body, but suitable placement depends on your individual anatomy and lifestyle. Our artists will evaluate the area and help determine whether your desired placement is a good option.

How long does a microdermal piercing take to heal?

Healing times vary depending on placement, anatomy, aftercare, and other individual factors. Your artist will explain what to expect and provide aftercare instructions to help support proper healing.

Can I walk in for a microdermal piercing?

Yes. Walk-ins are welcome during business hours, or you can schedule an appointment if you prefer additional time to discuss placement, jewelry, and the process with an artist.

How do I care for a new microdermal piercing?

Keep the area clean, avoid unnecessary touching or snagging, and follow the aftercare instructions provided by your artist. Because microdermals can be affected by friction and pressure, protecting the area while it heals is especially important.

Can the jewelry on a microdermal be changed?

Yes. Once your piercing is ready for a jewelry change, our artists can help you safely switch the decorative top. We recommend having microdermal jewelry changed professionally rather than attempting to remove or replace it yourself.

Can a microdermal piercing be removed?

Yes. If you decide you no longer want your microdermal, speak with one of our artists about professional removal. Avoid attempting to remove the anchor yourself, as improper removal can damage the surrounding tissue.

Microdermal piercings offer a unique way to add jewelry to areas where a traditional piercing may not be possible. At Skin City 2 Tattoo Kingston, our experienced artists combine technical knowledge, creativity, and generations of tattooing and piercing experience to provide carefully placed microdermals tailored to you.

Because microdermal placement depends heavily on anatomy, our artists begin by evaluating the area and discussing the safest and most visually appealing options for your body. Whether you're interested in a single accent near the cheekbone or decorative jewelry along the collarbone, we'll help you understand your placement options, jewelry choices, healing process, and aftercare.

Microdermal piercings require careful placement, proper technique, and an understanding of how different areas of the body heal. Skin City 2 Tattoo brings a tattooing and body art lineage dating back to 1969, spanning Northern Jersey, Orange County, and now Kingston.

Our BBP-certified artists take an anatomy-dependent approach to microdermal piercings, helping determine whether your desired placement is appropriate before moving forward. Consultations give you an opportunity to discuss placement, jewelry, healing, and any questions you may have without feeling rushed into a decision.

The result is a personalized piercing experience built around your anatomy, personal style, and comfort.

Walk-ins are always welcome, with flexible hours that make it easier to stop by when your schedule allows.

Unlike a traditional piercing with a separate entry and exit point, a microdermal piercing uses a small anchor positioned beneath the surface of the skin. A decorative jewelry top attaches to the anchor and remains visible above the skin, creating the appearance of jewelry resting directly on the area.

Your appointment begins with a consultation and anatomy assessment. The artist will discuss your desired placement and determine whether the area is suitable for a microdermal. Once placement is established, the piercing is performed using sterile equipment and BBP-compliant procedures, and your selected jewelry is secured in place.

Because placement can affect healing and longevity, not every area of the body is suitable for a microdermal piercing. Our artists will help you understand your options before the procedure so you can make an informed decision.

Proper technique and aftercare are especially important with microdermal piercings. Skin City 2 Tattoo prioritizes sanitation, careful placement, and clear aftercare instructions to help support the healing process.

Our artists follow BBP-compliant practices and use quality jewelry selected with both comfort and healing in mind. Before you leave, we'll explain how to clean and protect the area, what to avoid during healing, and what signs may indicate that your microdermal needs additional attention.

You'll also have a knowledgeable team you can return to with questions about healing, jewelry changes, or your microdermal over time.

Choose Skin City 2 Tattoo for professional microdermal piercings backed by generations of body art experience and a welcoming Kingston shop environment.
