I am a body piercer in VA, and I recently ordered the micro dermal anchors and I was wondering if anyone out there had any advice to give me about the proper way to make the insicion and the placement. Basically just any advice out there anyone can give me! Or maybe a website that shows all the proper steps.
Thanks,
Kate
Just curious Kate….Why did you order jewelry for a procedure you have no comprehension on how to go about doing? You should NEVER just go ahead and purchase jewelry for a piercing procedure, before understanding how the procedure is done.
You’re going the route of: C - A - B in sequence of events, not: A - B - C.
I will not, and I assume nor will any other AskBME staff member, give you a run down step by step play on how to insert microdermals, for public viewing online. That is realistically quite a huge “sticky mess” as we would then be endorsing certain techniques over others, as well as potentially exposing techniques/methods of insertion onto the general public. Which could lead to very dangerous complications.
Kate your BEST bet is to locate a fellow piercer who is experienced in this procedure, and is willing to perhaps show you how it’s done. Sometimes this is hard though because some piercers are not wanting to let their “competition” get a leg up, where as other piercers (such as myself) would rather us all be up to date on the same knowledge base and understanding of how procedure are to be done. But that unfortunately just displays the immense contrast that is currently involved with piercers.
Another option is to look into any potential “seminars” that are being offered and take those “seminars”. That way you can get some concept of how things are done, before you jump the gun again and purchase jewelry before knowing how to put them in.
You know…You could also join the IAM Community of BMEZine, get yourself set up as a Verified Professional, join the VARIETY of professional forums that in the IAM Community…and presto chances are you’ll be able to get some help on that front easily…I’d suggest looking into the IAM Learning Forum, as its my favourite…But of course I’m biased since I started the forum ages ago, and just recently passed it over to someone else

fireship on September 3rd, 2008 at 10:52 pmFrom a customer’s standpoint, that is an absolutely horrifying letter. I would NEVER go to a piercer who learned to do normal piercings on line, much less something as major as microdermals. I mean, you’re putting metal implants under someone’s skin, for crying out loud. Doesn’t that seem like something you should learn/watch in person before trying it? Seriously, stuff like this ticks me off, even though I’m not a piercer. It’s irresponsible people like you that give the entire body mod community such a bad name.
Alter Reality on September 4th, 2008 at 11:15 pmIt could be possible that she’s bought them with the intention of using them to learn how to do it (and not necessarily on a customer, she may be practicing on herself.) Just sayin.
Sassie_L on September 22nd, 2008 at 12:17 amSassie: Still before a piercer buys jewelry, like Microdermals, they should at least observe or figure out how the procedure works theory wise before buying them.
