There are many misconceptions about microdermals (dermal anchors or single point surface piercings). The 2 biggest misconceptions are that they are illegal to perform in the state of Nebraska and that they must be removed surgically by a doctor with a scalpel. Both of these statements are false. In the state of Nebraska, these types of piercings are classified as body piercings and are completely legal both at a state and local level. If a customer decides to retire a microdermal, they can easily be removed by our staff, regardless of who installed them for you.
