Navel Piercings we offer at arc.
Dermal Piercing
Dermal (Abdomen)
A dermal piercing is a single-point piercing that creates the appearance of jewellery sitting directly on the skin. Placed on the abdomen, it offers a clean, minimalist look and can be positioned to complement your natural shape or existing body piercings.
Location
-
The surface of the abdomen.
-
Can be positioned above, below or alongside the navel, depending on your anatomy and desired look.
Tissue Type
-
Soft tissue (skin).
Healing
-
Initial healing: 8–12 weeks.
-
Full healing: 3–6 months.
Pain Level
★★★☆☆
-
A brief, sharp sensation during placement, followed by mild tenderness as the area settles.
Note: Dermal piercings require suitable skin thickness and placement to reduce the risk of movement or rejection. During your consultation, we'll assess your anatomy and recommend the most appropriate placement.
