Dermal Anchor Piercing Near Camas, WA

Conveniently located in Gresham — just minutes near Camas. Multnomah Body Piercing has been Oregon's most trusted piercing studio since 1974.

Dermal anchors let you place a single-point jewel almost anywhere on the body. No entrance and exit hole — just one anchor sitting flush under the skin with a gem or disc on top. The result is a jewel that appears to float on your skin. Collarbone. Hip bones. Chest. Back of neck. Face. Wrist.

We place dermals daily and consult with you on which locations have the best longevity for your anatomy and lifestyle. We're honest: high-friction areas (wrist, hand) reject faster. Stable skin (collarbone, chest, nape) lasts for years. We'll tell you what to expect before we pierce.

Most Popular Dermal Placements

• Collarbone — most requested. Stunning. Excellent longevity.
• Chest / sternum — single jewel or cluster between collarbones
• Hip dermals — lower hip bones, dramatic placement
• Nape (back of neck) — elegant, often in pairs
• Cheekbone / face — bold and striking
• Behind the ear — subtle and beautiful
• Wrist / hand — higher rejection risk, but achievable with proper placement
