'''Dermal Piercers''' can be used to apply a dermal piercing through the skin with a gemstone, similar to [[piercing]] jewelry. Dermal Piercers are sold at [[RWShop:GemStoned|Gemstoned]] at [[Rumor Woods]].

Dermal piercings appear in the tattoo line of a character's inventory, alongside tattoos and standard piercings. Dermal piercings can be applied to a wide variety of places on the face and body. They are done with gemstones, and the process of using a Dermal Piercer to apply a dermal piercing will '''destroy''' the gemstone.

There are two types of Dermal Piercings. One can be used only on characters. The other can be used only on mounts. Both utilize the same base system and unlock certificates.

Unlock certificates serve two purposes. First, they expand the variety of locations that a dermal piercer can adorn with gemstones. Second, they increase the total number of gemstones that can be applied to a given target.

|item=Dermal Piercer for Characters 
|itemsummary=Dermal Piercers can be used on characters to add a dermal piercing consisting of a gem. The piercing can be applied in a variety of locations. The gem is destroyed when used as a piercing. It can be removed via {{boldmono|PULL}} and a tool with the appropriate noun. They are sold OTS at Tier 1 and can be unlocked three times to Tier 4. 
|analyze= 
You analyze the pewter punch and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
This pewter punch will pierce a set location with a gem. At Tier 1, you can pierce up to 2 gems and 7 locations.

A list of available piercing locations for you:
- right eyebrow, left eyebrow, right nostril, left nostril, nose, right earlobe, and left earlobe.

Current setting: "right eyebrow"

USAGE:
Drop/Put: Place a gem into the punch.
Turn: Change the tool's piercing location.
Clench: Pierce yourself or your mount.
Clean: Clean a used punch.
Pull: Remove a gem piercing with an appropriate tool. (Note: This will destroy the gem.) Removal tools can be found at "Gemstoned", at Rumor Woods, though similar items may be found throughout Elanthia.
Wave: Fluff

Try as you might, you cannot get a good sense of whether or not the punch's pockets could get any deeper, but you can tell that the punch is as light as it can get.

==Additional Information==
===Shop Note===
<pre{{log2}}>
In the Common language, it reads:

Welcome to Gemstoned, the one-stop shop for all your gem piercing needs!

The punches on the table are our baseline gem piercers, which one can use to pierce themself with a gem. The tools in the basket will assist in removing any gem piercings that you no longer want. (Note: Removing a piercing will destroy the gem and may cause injury to the pierced.) The certificates will upgrade the punch to allow for additional piercing locations, as well as increase the number of piercings.

PLEASE NOTE: Only the punches from this room are eligible for the emerald-hued certificate. In addition, illusion items that hide your inventory and features will prevent any piercings from being visible.
</pre>
===Dermal Piercing Removal===
Dermal piercings can be removed via {{boldmono|PULL}} with basic tools such as tweezers, pliers, tongs, pincers, daggers, and knives. Removing a dermal piercing destroys the gem.
