Single-point surface piercings of the neck and nape, either on the back or sides of the neck, are known as neck and nape dermal piercings. In contrast to the conventional piercing, which goes through the skin, dermal piercing is locked under the skin by a dermal anchor or base. These piercings have been known to have a sleek decorative appearance and are usually designed to be worn with a flat gem or a small stud on them, resting on the skin surface. Similar to how people style a tragus piercing for a trendy look, nape dermals are also chosen for their unique placement. Many individuals who love ear piercing often explore dermal options to complement their overall aesthetic. Just like a nose piercing highlights the face, nape dermals add a bold statement to the back of the neck.

Choose Dermal Piercing on the Neck

Dermal piercings are preferable because they are very unique and one has the liberty to choose them in any part of the body. They are worn on the neck or rather the nape, making them an unconventional statement of style, daring, and edgy. To some people, it is also about showing some personal style, but what is also attractive is how subtle or bold they can appear based on the type of jewellery worn.

The Process

This is such a piercing that should be done by a professional person. In short:

Cleaning and Marking: To be pierced, the spot must be cleaned well, and must be marked.

Insertion: Use a sterilized piercing studs and globally approved instrument to pierce, and then anchor it inserted.

Jewelry Location: the decorative top screws onto the anchor that can be seen above the skin.

It is a relatively fast process that needs accuracy and cleanliness in order not to complicate the matter.

How much Painful 

The pain is subjective; however, for most of the time, the pain is short-lived and can be described as a pinch or pressure. Most people find it bearable because there are few nerve endings in the neck compared to other areas where people can be pierced.

Healing Time and Aftercare

It normally takes 4-6 months to heal, and the duration depends on skin type, cleanliness and lifestyle. It is a matter of popularity.

• Cleanse the piercing area two times daily with our STUDEX® Advanced 2-IN-1 Piercing Aftercare & Cleanser.

• Do not touch or twist the jewellery.

• Prevent clothes, backpack straps and hair from getting tangled with the piercing

• Avoid swimming pools and do not immerse yourself in water until the initial phases of this healing process.

Any Risk Associated?

Just like any other body modification procedure, dermal piercings bear their risk factors, which include:

• Rejection: The body may propel the jewellery out.

• Infection: Clean properly, or it will get infected.

• Scarring: Particularly when removed improperly.

However, electing a professional and experienced person along with proper care with our STUDEX® Advanced 2-IN-1 Piercing Aftercare & Cleanser will prevent above mentioned complications.

Is It Permanent

The dermal piercings are not permanent; they are considered semi-permanent. When well taken care of, they may last for many years. But because they are not absorbed through the skin, they can also be removed by a professional when not needed anymore.
