Dermal Piercer

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 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. This article is a Stub. You can help GSWiki by expanding it. Dermal Piercer for Characters 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 PULL and a tool with the appropriate noun. They are sold OTS at Tier 1 and can be unlocked three times to Tier 4.

OTS/Tier 1 Usage Verb First Third CLEAN Careful not to waste too much, you pour a crystalline glass of bourbon across the mithril punch's opening, almost overly conscientious about removing any lingering debris.
