Surface Bars Piercing

Professional Body Piercing at Kaleidoscope

About Surface Bars Piercing

Surface bar piercings consist of two anchor points connected by a single bar beneath the skin, creating a unique surface piercing with visible decorative ends. Unlike microdermals, surface bars have two points of entry and exit, making them suitable for areas where you want a linear design. They can be placed on various flat areas of the body including cheeks, chest, back, and arms.

At Kaleidoscope, our experienced piercers use only the highest quality jewelry and sterile techniques to ensure a safe and comfortable piercing experience. We'll guide you through the entire process, from choosing the right jewelry to proper aftercare.

Aftercare

Surface bar piercings require careful aftercare due to their surface nature. Clean both ends twice daily with sterile saline solution, avoid tight clothing that might rub against the jewelry, and be careful not to snag the ends on clothing or hair. Avoid sleeping on the pierced area and minimize movement during healing. We provide detailed aftercare instructions and are always available to answer questions during your healing journey.

I think my piercing might be infected or unhappy - what should I do?

It could be, but often times it is caused by irritation such as bumping, catching, playing with, clothing choices or sleeping on the piercing. Any of these can lead to the jewelry not fitting correctly and this in turn can cause more swelling and redness. We have several solutions to fixing the issues depending on the situation and your body type. We start with the most general and from there narrow it down to the best fit for you. We can usually get any issue under control without losing the piercing but we want to be as proactive as possible, so please come see us with any concerns and if we think you need to see a Dr. we will let you know.

What is the normal drainage from a new piercing?

You may notice some drainage coming from a new piercing in it's healing phase. While this is normal for any new piercing(some more than others) the drainage should be a yellowish brown color often containing lymph fluid, sebum, and possibly some blood. Please be sure to rinse thoroughly in the bath or shower removing as much as possible without causing movement to the piercing. If you are ever unsure whether your piercing is healthy and happy please don't hesitate coming by the shop so a piercer can take a look. We would rather see you too much than not enough.
