Dermal Anchor

Saturday, May 7, 2011
In celebration of my one year anniversary since the accident, I couldn't think of anything better then to get a Dermal Anchor Piercing on my C2.

First the artist takes this circular hollow razor and spins it a few times until it cuts through the epidermal layer. Kind of like a whole punch, the center is then removed. I didn't get a very good picture of this, so let's now go to the next step in which the picture did come out more clear...


Dermal... Anchor... Self explanatory. The anchor, as you can see above, is pushed through the hole causing a "pop" noise... for most people anyways. I wasn't privileged enough to hear or feel that.


This is the moment I asked the lady whom was in front of me if the next part hurts worse. She goes on to say, oh yeah... worse then you could imagine, that first part was nothing. Me... ...no happy. She then handed me a mirror as I took a breath before I looked at this "unfinished product"... come to find out she was only joking. It had been completed. That sure wasn't near as bad as I thought it was going to be!


I bled a little. I made sure my diet today didn't consist of any foods that thin my blood, so I believe I did pretty well.



DAY 2:


Last nights sleep was a little awkward only because I was overly cautious about the healing process. I cleaned it first thing this morning, and took pictures just to show you the progress. So far... so good.


(Keep checking in for more day by day updates until it is completely healed)



It's healed!!! It has been 2 months now, and I went back in to get my jewel changed. I thought it looked kinda cool without the jewel. So here is a pic of the hole in my neck. hehe. I'm sure I'll treat myself this Christmas with a real diamond stud. Very excited to be on the search for the perfect one :) For now, I am wearing a diamond flower.


I'm very happy with my dermal <3
