Microdermal Bridge Piercing?

Hi there!

With the relative solidarity of a surface anchor, I always wanted to know whether or not it would be feasible to have these comprise a bridge piercing rather than the standard surface technique. Would there be a lesser chance of migration or is the skin simply too thin?

Correspondence is appreciated!

Microdermals unite!!!

While this is a potentially interesting use of microdermals, I think the chances of success are pretty small. Most people’s bridges have a bit of curve to them. With a piercing, you can typically find a flat area on that curve where the piercing can be placed. Given the large (compared to say a 14ga barbell) size of the foot of the microdermal, it would hard (if not impossible) to find a flat place for that foot to rest. If the foot isn’t sitting on a flat surface, the jewelry will likely sit funny, resulting in a piercing more likely to migrate/reject…not to mention simply looking funny.

I also think that getting two microdermals to line up so that the piercings looked straight would be harder than getting a standard bridge piercing straight…which can be pretty tricky as it is.
