Hey,
I really want to get my hips pierced for my 18th birthday, and i love the look of a surface piercing - where the balls stick out just above the skin. However, it seems that they are almost definetely going to reject and i was wondering if it is possible to get the same effect using dermal anchors.
Also, what would be the approximate difference in price between the two options?
Thankyou.
IMHO, the ONLY advantages surfaces bars have over anchors are:
-Easier to put in and easier to remove.
-One piercing give your two points, which makes it more cost effective.
Aside from those 2 reasons, I have never seen a situation where I felt a surface bar was a better bet than anchors.
Hips are notoriously difficult to heal, to have the best chance possible I’d advise anchors with flat disc ends to heal them.

It shows, that the anchors are not that stable, rejection is notless than for surface bars. A good surface bar feels more stable, and can take more force force before tearing if something gets cought.
Stormchaser on February 11th, 2009 at 4:30 pmI have had both surface piercing & dermal anchor experience, & although my body rarely rejects piercings, my surface piercings always felt as if they were not fully healed. I opted for dermals on my hips and have only had 1 problem with them, which was catching on my really long nail while pulling my pants up it popped out a bit lol. I was easily able to put it back in, but I would rec getting the piercing high enough so it doesn’t interfere with your pants/ jeans.
I prefer dermals for this area but that’s just my opinion/ experience with both types. Dermals will probably be more expensive since there will be 4 rather than 2 piercings. But as the other person mentioned flat discs for your dermals will be best. That’s what I got & love them.
