The meaning of "L" is that the carbon contents of the Stainless Steel is below 0.03%, it will reduce the sensitizations effect, precipitation of at grain boundaries, due to the high temperature produced by welding operation. 316L can be re-finished by any jeweler and will not oxidize or turn black.316 stainless steel has a mid range level of carbon.

Dermal Piercing - The new wave!

Dermal AnchorsDermal Anchor - the new piercing trend
Dermal anchor or dermal piercing is similar to single-point pocketing. It's where you put the base of the jewelry (dermal anchor base) under the skin and where only the top part appears.

The piercing procedure is simpler than the one for transdermal. While the healing time, if taken the proper precautions, is great. You'll never notice you have it all along. Plus since our dermal anchors are made of Surgical steel (top part) and Titanium G23 (base part), they are hypoallergenic and very safe to use.

Our collection of dermal anchors contains anchors with different logo on them, with balls and cones. With colorful cubic zirconia stones and some are plain and simple but totally funky once used. They also comes in different sizes. You can check them out here and see what you have been missing.
