Now it's turn! She's here giving ALL of the sparkle, especially with her dermals & surface anchors! π€©
There's about a 50-60% chance of migration or rejection in these specialty piercings so you really have to baby them and take some extra precautions with your clothing. They should be considered as temporary piercings, however placement is very important to ensure longevity of your piercing.
Must be 18+ to receive these piercings as they are considered an implant with how they are placed under the skin.
Dermals are $50-75 each, and Surface Anchors/Anti-Eyebrow/Surface Tragus is $90+ with piercing and jewelry included. Implant grade titanium is used for the bases, whereas the tops can be titanium or gold.

Summer's here! βοΈπ΄π Mandi the .up.piercer is piercing today 12-7pm (and she did these cuties shown here too!)
Now, let's talk navel piercings.
There are different body types, which calls for certain jewelry to be used to accomplish a perfect navel piercing.
Floating Navels are used like in the first three photos - when the upper navel shelf is more rounded, and/or when the navel shelf is completely closed.
Traditional Navel piercings have more of a sloping edge that allows for the jewelry to sit naturally without distorting the piercing.
Lower navels require a 'seat' for the jewelry to sit on as seen in the last photo .
The #1 RULE is still the same - any fresh or healing piercing SHOULD NOT be submerged under water. (Showers are fine, that way you can thoroughly clean)
If you plan to get a navel piercing this season, you must anticipate not being able to put your new piercings underwater and subjecting them to potential infection or healing complications.
Healing timeline is 6-9+ months using a sterile saline like H2Ocean/NeilMed twice a day on a paper towel to dampen and wipe away any crusts, then thoroughly dry.
Must be 13+ (with parental consent for all minors) Must have physical Birth Certificate/Custody paperwork, photo ID for the minor, and parent/legal guardian with their ID.
Pricing starts at $25 including 316L Surgical Steel, $40 for Titanium, $60 for Gold, $60-90 for Floating Navel (Titanium or Gold)
