i really love the idea of having a sternum piercing but im completely confused about what method to opt for. through BME iv found that microdermals,dermal anchors and surface bars using the punch + taper method can all be used.

any advice on which method would have the highest success rate with minimal scarring if it does reject would REALLY be appreciated. im sorry if im asking something that a million people already have im just still confused and want to get it right!

also, do you have any contacts or know of any experienced piercers in Sheffield (South Yorkshire, UK). Ive always gone to Van Schaicks previously and I know that they offer heavy mods like tongue splitting, branding, transplants etc so i was just wondering if you’d heard of them.

Thanks a lot (sorry that was kinda long!)

The best thing to do is to go visit a piercing practitioner and have a consultation to discuss your options. I am an advocate of using dermal punches for surface work in general. As you are in the UK I would advise going down the microdermal route as there are very few of us this side of the Pond using internally-threaded flat disc surface bars, which in my opinion are far superior to externally-threaded surface bars with balls, so unless you are prepared to travel I suggest you find someone who has a proven record with microdermals.

By the way, I am resisting the urge to add a comment about transplants!!
