Ouch.
Trends in engagement rings have evolved over the years. At one time, the diamond cut was all the rage, followed by the growth of the cluster style and the halo pearl design. But now, the newest trend is… a little more painful.
Women are choosing to have micro dermal anchors implanted into their ring fingers instead of slipping on a traditional ring.
According to professional body piercer Billy De Berry, these ‘rings’ are completely safe. He told People:
“Micro dermal anchors are safe and the body will hold them for years, as long as they’re in ideal places and if implant-grade titanium is used.”
So, how does it all work? Well, DeBerry shares all.
“With the base being anchored into place under the surface of the skin, the tops are interchangeable with a huge variety of colours, shapes and designs.”
The piercer has apparently been doing this for the better half of ten years, but since the trend exploded on Instagram and Facebook, his booking sheet is packed with ‘ring’ requests.
Would you get it done?
