My friend Sean Dowdell from Club Tattoo is holding a few dermal anchor seminars (click for a flyer), so let me share with you two gorgeous dermal anchor projects he’s done (the angel wings one I’ve actually posted before, but this is a much nicer photo). First, this Om is really something, in terms of really characterizing the level of “art” that these can bring to what’s traditionally more of a “craft”:
As is this metal angel… Hopefully Caitlin and I can make it out to see him at the Maritime Tattoo Festival in Halifax this May, which is one of his seminar destinations along with Baltimore, Mesa, Philly, and Long Beach.

I would think she doesn’t wear bra, the space between two anchors on that part of the back just looks so small in the picture a bra wouldn’t fit in there and if she put it over the anchors it would irritate them like hell. But everything is possible, maybe she found out a solutin.
I’m with John D on this. They look great, but I have doubts on how well thats going to look in a year. Not to mention that 95% of the people that will look at this pic will never be able to grasp the healing factor of the project. Hell, 95% of the piercers that look at this pic won’t have a concept on how to properly perform something like this.

I think Mangaartist is right. It looks like she can never wear a bra, nor ever sleep on her back. Oh, what pains we go through for beauty’s sake! But, it is well worth it for such beauty. Makes it all worth the while.

Luis/John – Definitely interested in hearing your feedback and concerns since you’re both very experienced with surface work in general… As you know, microdermals certainly seem to be standing up very well.

It looks really cool, for sure… My thing is just like previously mentioned, for sure 95% percent of the people that see this think they can just wander on in, get this done and it will look cool forever… Just not true.. Im always a fan of function first, fashion second. Sometimes less is more. I find it makes my clients happier over the long term. Looks cool, but functional??? Come on…

I’d agree that the back one is going to be trouble but I think the Om is very doabe and should be possible to keep in the relative longterm.

for the record the wings are almost a year old now. so I guess there goes the it’ll never work aspect. and akthough Im also a fan of less is more. but are you really going to deny the pieces strengths? seriously? john and luis are both great practitoners and I have nothing but respect for you guys. but shame on you for suggesting its just a ” hey there walk in customer I never met. get this.” project. oh and I believe the ohm is roughly six months.

Doable yes, retainable???

Retainable? Did you not read what Trevor wrote? I can vouch for both of these. The wings are around a year old (they were long since healed by the Valley of the Sun expo last year). And the Om is many months old.
In reference to the wings with the exception of her losing one of the screw on gems from time to time, she has no problems.
So. To recap. Doable? Obviously. Retainable? Evidentally. Practical? In this case, yes. Undoubtedly.

I could say so much more here but the wings are 1.5 years old, they healed up beautifully. The ohm is about 6 months old. It healed up beautifully.
I find it funny that John worked for me and that he has the audacity to put me down on this.
Is this the same John Durante that told me my corsets were not a good idea and then low and behold he has corsets in his portfolio now as well?

you know where to find me ass

Damn, thats some crazy shit coming from Sean, I am not even going to go down that list, I was not “putting anybody down”, simply questioning the retainability of such procedures. Jesus Christ.

I generally tend to think a piece of work will defend its self. and in this case both have. and I think thats the core issue that’s been overlooked.

Either way, they look amazing, and it’s great to hear they have been so successful.
