One Successfully Completed Micro Dermal Anchor

Completed anchor placement

One anchor successfully in place

Here it is! One successfully completed micro dermal anchor piercing. From the few that I have observed and the ones I got, I have noticed there is a tendency toward more bleeding with these than with normal piercings. After both anchors were in place, Kristen and I just chatted it up for another 10-15 minutes while she continued to sop up blood leakage. It continued to bleed a little bit even after we left the shop. But, it eventually stopped after about 30 minutes.
