What exactly is the difference between a Microdermal and a Transdermal?
Well, I’m assuming you’ve already looked up the difference in the BME wiki (microdermals, transdermals), so I’ll break it down further and say that a microdermal will give you much the same look as a transdermal implant at a fraction of the cost; a greater range of attachment options; and a much greater availability of artists who can adeptly perform the procedure. They can also be removed with vastly greater ease - transdermal implant removal is serious surgery and will leave a much more massive scar than even the most aggressively rejected microdermal. Neither of them can be considered “permanent”, either. Guess which procedure I favour more highly?

A sort of side question on this… With microdermals is it possible to get different ends (spikes instead of beads for example)?

It’s recommended to heal them with flat discs, and wearing spikes on them is pretty much asking for trouble - spikes are VERY catchy and you will almost certainly flog the hell out of the piercing when wearing a spike!
