Unveiling the Skin Diver: All About This Unique Body Piercing Jewelry

A skindiver is a type of one-point piercing jewelry. One part of the jewelry sits under the skin, while the rest sits above the skin.

Skindivers are formed by a lower part, a rod, and a top plate.

Since skindivers are solid pieces, you cannot interchange their tops. If you like to play with different designs on your piercing jewelry, a skin diver might not be for you. Instead, you can check out dermals.

Should I get a skindiver, a dermal anchor, or a surface barbell?

When it comes to piercings in flat areas of the body, such as the chest, the back of the neck, or the eyebrow, experienced piercers take many considerations.

For example, if the area to be pierced has a lot of movement, your body is more likely to reject barbells and skindivers. In this case, dermal anchors will work best.

As always, ask your piercer for advice regarding your particular body and piercing wishes.
