At-a-glance

Dermals
Advertising
    Recently, a new piercing has become very popular. Microdermals, also known as dermals or “single point piercings”, can be argued that they’re not just a surface piercing. To some people, it is considered an implant. 
    How? Dermals are a single diamond that pierces the skin once, and it is implanted into the skin. On the surface of the skin, there is a hook, which the diamond is attached onto. Many people say that it isn’t painful, and the trend is spreading all over America. However, it can be a regretful decision after a few years of having them. If by any chance someone has to get an MRI or any other type of X-ray, the dermals have to be surgically removed before the X-ray, and they won’t be able to be put back in without the whole process being redone. 
    Also, if someone gets pregnant, the microdermals have to be surgically removed or they can get sucked into your body from your skin stretching. Although at the age of 18 it may sound like a good idea to get dermals on your hips, back, or even face, it can be a painful decision in the long run when they have to be removed.

Trends like these are very idiotic. I like the article and how it has an objective tone to the issues of passing trends. It was very well written.
