A new surface bar idea….

Me and my friends were thinking about an idea for a new surface bar and we were wondering if it is even plausable that it would work. Heres the idea: Keep the traditional surface bar…but instead of a round bar that goes under the skin, why not a rounded flatter bar with holes in it so the skin can grow through and anchor the bar…kinda like a microdermal. Maybe if the part of the bar…the long straight part was a little flatter with holes it wouldn’t reject so easilly. Anyways, any opinion is appreciated on this. It seems like it would be a good idea.
Some jewelry companies, including Anatometal, have been offering flat surface bars for some time.
The problem I see with there being holes down the flattened part of the bar is this:
Surface Anchors just float under the skin and those holes help them be anchored into place and not move out once scar tissue starts growing around them.
Surface bars are pierced straight through and exit in a second point and therefore are held into the tissue that way.
Drilling holes through the flat part of a surface bar wouldn’t help the bar stay planted into the tissue. It would have the same damaging effect as a gouged up, ill-polished piece of jewelry in a piercing would have.

blasphemouskell on September 29th, 2008 at 3:17 pmalso if say a company like Anatometal placed holes in their flat surface bars and polished it all properly,etc…The problem I’m seeing is that if there is a problem and it needs to be removed the surface bar will be harder to remove and be requiring a scalpel to remove it. With microdermals you can simply use a deep tissue massage or a needle to help it out. But with a bar passing under the body from anywhere from 3/8″ to well over an 1″, people will just end up having a lot more serious scars and would require as I said a scalpel to carve the jewelry out,etc.

Tiff Badhairdo on September 30th, 2008 at 7:15 amyou’d be lucky not to have permanent messy scarring after removing a 1″ surface bar as described.
besides, what advantage would a subdermal surface bar have over regular anchors?
read the bme wiki on surface bars, specifically surface wires. they never eventuated, for a good reason or three.
