I'm supposed to have a 3 microdermal set
and one of them keeps popping out on its own
and i've tried putting it back in twice
so only 2 are currently in...
I think placement is very important
(the one that keeps popping out is right on a bend on my body)
I've had no problems about them healing
and if you have other piercings you will be familiar
with healing of new piercings
Mine are a year and a half old and i did the salt soaks and antimicrobial cleansers
another consideration is also related to placement on the body
if they are place on a body part you don't have visual access to (ie. back of your neck) the top might unscrew and fall off without you noticing and the 'leg' is swallowed up by the skin without something there to hold it
I had that happen twice to the same microdermal
First time, my piercer took a scalpel and made a small incision where she felt the leg was and was able to grab enough of it to screw on a new top
The second time that happened, no scalpel was necessary
she was able just to push the skin around the eg enough to screw it on
Re: your placement... my piercer told me another girl who got a dermal on her sternum similar to the one you described you want to get and while she was on vacation, it got caught on something and ripped right out!
bra straps, shirt collars, waist bands are things that can make a dermal fussy
there's always a risk of that happening so you have to decide if that's something u can deal with
and just as Growing Wings mentioned... it is permanent and having it cut out does leave a scar... I have a scar where my missing one is and that motivates me to try putting it again
you are welcome to pm I'm happy to answer any questions
also if you are in the Vancouver, Canada area... I would recommend my piercer Erynn... she has the hands of a surgeon and a fantastic aesthetic to make sure you get a beautiful result
