Nape piercing
Somewhat less common are surface anchors, commonly made from surgical implant-grade titanium. A surface anchor has two parts: a base or foot which is inserted under the dermis during the piercing process and which incorporates a stem exposed to the surface, and a decorative disc or ball of jewelry which typically appears flush with the surface of the skin. Surface anchor nape piercings are most commonly found placed symmetrically on either side of the spine at the nape.
Anchor portal
An anchor portal or H-frame tower is a gantry structure supporting overhead power lines in a switchyard. Their static function is similar to a dead-end tower. Anchor portals are almost always steel-tube or steel-framework constructions.
