Of those funny little skin diver thingies *update 3*

Thanks for your comment Kasey. I heard from Steven the other day. They are all still in and he is still pleased with them. Apparently there were no problems with the healing but one of them got caught recently, resulting in some swelling and discharge, thankfully the jewellery is still in. That's all there is to it really, shows most things can be successfull with a bit of tlc! Always remember the most important part of the aftercare is the first few days / weeks. Look after it then and most of the work is done!

Well, six days in this is how they look;



There is still, naturally, some discharge but they seem to have settled in well. No movement and little discomfort. I suggested using 'butterfly' stitches to keep them in over night and that has worked well. Apart from that a single saline soak a day, patted dry, then kept dry for the rest of the day. Now I'm looking forward to the next set!

All good things, come in three. Two or three years ago a guy came into the shop without so much as a lobe piercing and had these done, all together, in one sitting.

Today he came in with those, and left with these;
















I'll update again soon, then we'll see if I'll be offering them in the shop!

Now I'm quite excited about these, kind of like dermal anchors without all the worries that come with removing them. I have been keen to try them out as I'd love to be able to offer them as an alternative to the microdermals. Single point piercing without the meshing of body tissue with a foreign object, an easier thought to stomach for some!
Anyway I'll be doing my first set, a set of three, on a customer of mine at some point this week. I'll make sure to post pictures as soon as I can, and we'll see whether concerns about rapid rejection are justified or not.
