Many of us have been doing dermals over a decade, I'm sure there are MANY people that could prove competence with the procedure anytime

I agree with all above statements and believe this deserves a closer look into the definitions provided by experts in the field (I.e. safe piercings.org.)

As a body piercer of almost 20 years I’m astounded at Tennessee’s ban on micro-dermal anchors. This is a simple procedure that does not enter the dermis.
Tennessee’s state law of body piercing is:
"Body piercing" means the piercing of any part of the body for compensation by someone, other than a physician licensed under title 63, who utilizes a needle or other instrument for the purpose of inserting an object into the body for nonmedical purposes.“
Dermal anchor falls under this category and is a body piercing by Tennessee’s own legal definition and to ban it contradicts their legal definition.

I believe dermal piercing should be allowed.

This is a breach of my right to do as I see fit with my own body.

I am a professional piercer and this is one of the ways that I survive. I am very knowledgeable of this piercing and I have been professionally performing these piercings with great success for several years! To have these banned means that I will have to raise the price of more basic piercings to make up for the money I will be losing.

I would think that the state would institute general proficiency testing for piercers instead of unilaterally banning a procedure that was most likely misunderstood by the state medical board.

This is a relatively simple and minimally invasive procedure. Any piercing technician, that is properly trained, can perform this procedure with ease. Isn't it about time we put our trust in the professionals who work in the field that is being regulated so heavily?
