A dermal punch is the same instrument used by doctors to obtain biopsy samples. It cuts away a section of flesh by "punching" a hole through it.

A microdermal anchor, aka dermal + surface anchor, is a piece of metal jewelry implanted under the skin with a decorative piece of jewelry visible above it.

There are several varying styles of microdermal jewelry, but they all work in essentially the same way. They are flat plates of metal with holes in the bottom, called the foot or anchor. A stem extends up from the foot, the end of which sits flush against the skin, and where decorative jewelry is screwed in. They get their name because once the jewelry is inserted, the flesh grows through the holes in the foot, anchoring it into the skin.
