Back Dermal Jewelry Piercings: Everything You Need to Know
A back dermal jewelry piercing is a piercing in each indentation on your back, just above your buttocks. Dimples on Venus are also known as Venusian dimples. Therefore, these piercings are sometimes mistaken for Venus piercings. Although it’s totally understandable to be confused, you should definitely know the difference before visiting the piercing studio. Usually referred to as Christina piercings, Venus piercings are actually genital piercings.
What kind of dermal jewelry is used for this piercing?
In terms of back dermals, anchors with tops are preferred because the tops can be interchanged. This allows you to change the jewelry without removing the anchor.
Another option is to wear diver jewelry. Divers are made up of a pointed base that lies under the skin and a decorative top. To insert the device, a tool called a skin punch is used to make a hole in the tissue.
When a skin punch is pulled out, it removes a circular piece of tissue that’s pushed approximately 4 millimeters into the skin. The diver is then inserted into the hole created.
Divers are not interchangeable, so this method causes less bleeding, but the jewelry options are fewer.
How can the dermal jewelry be made from different materials?
To reduce the risk of complications, such as allergic reactions or piercing rejection, the Association of Professional Piercers (APP) recommends using only high-quality materials. The best materials to use on dermis include:
Titanium-based implant materials. Although titanium is more expensive than steel, it is hypoallergenic and nickel-free. When you have sensitive skin or a nickel allergy, you should invest in this type of jewelry.
NIBIOUM.
Hypoallergenic and noncorrosive, this option is safe for skin.
Made of implant-grade steel.
This material is affordable and suitable for most people. You may develop a reaction to steel if you have a nickel allergy, depending on how severe it is.
How much does a piercing usually cost?
The average cost of a back dimple piercing is between $70 and $80.
You might need to factor in an additional $10 to $20 for each piece of jewelry, depending on the material.
Additionally, the studio and the piercer’s experience level impact how much you’ll pay for your piercings.
Be sure to tip as well! Twenty percent is customary for good service.
Is there a risk associated with this piercing?
Due to their location, back dermal piercings are associated with high potential complications.
As part of your lower back, they’re subjected to a lot of pressure and friction from your clothes and everyday activities, including sleeping.
By choosing a reputable and experienced piercer and taking proper care of your piercing, the possibility of complications can be significantly reduced.
There are several risks to keep in mind:
An infection.
In an unsterile environment, or if proper aftercare is not followed, bacteria can enter piercings. Contaminated needles, for example, can transmit bacterial infections.
The displacement of.
If the anchor is not inserted deep enough, it could dislodge and move to other areas of the skin.
Piercing rejection may occur if the piercing is too close to the surface of your skin or if it is exposed to too much friction or trauma. Your body may also push out jewelry if it perceives it as a foreign object.
