I currently am looking to get a constellation installed up my left flank. A family thing. I was wondering if you could answer a few of my questions about such a piercing.
Currently i have been doing a lot of research on the art and find it splendidly beautiful. I think that the idea i have is close enough to original and is a lot more like who i am than tattoos.
My boggle is i am also a college rugby player. i have seen these piercing and herd a couple of people talk about when they are healing that they do tend to hang up on things. i was wondering if having these put in and fully healed would be a bad idea for me to go and play a little rugby.. as with any modification i know that being a rough little boy can cause some oops issues, if one gets snagged and i feel a little pain or even bleed i wont mind.. if i get hit and have too have the whole dammed thing removed will piss me off. these things are not cheep and having it until it heals just to remove the dammed thing would be quite the nuisance.
is there any information or suggestions that one would have for my situation.. somebody said that they took his out for football but it was on his wrist. If its on my flank/ribcage/side will i be setting myself up for failure?
Surface work is temperamental at the best of times and even a well-healed microdermal on its own can get pissy if knocked or caught. I can tell you now that having a microdermal project and playing rugby is a sure-fire fail. Even without the rugby, healing several microdermals in a high-motion area is a feat in itself and success is most definately not a given. There’s no way around this one, I’m afraid.

I agree here with tiff
Rachel on January 6th, 2009 at 1:55 amI have had my microdermal on my stomach for a few months now, and while I know I still have lots of healing time, I can tell you by how careful I have had to be with movement that rugby would be out of the question. Whenever it seems like it really has started to fully heal some really small nudge, sometimes from my tshirt, has irritated it and its like starting the healing process all over. Good luck with whatever you decide!
Does it matter if your fat or skinny to get a microdermal piercing?
Kate on May 17th, 2009 at 12:21 amIt doesn’t matter if you are fat or skinny if you are getting a micro-dermal. It depends where you get them. If you get them somewhere that will be bumped easily it is easy to get an infection and it will take 4 times as long for them to heal. I have had mine for aprrox 3 months and they still haven’t healed. They have gotten swollen and ripped several times now. My piercer has been helping me a lot and he tells me that it needs a lot of time. They can be pulled out very easily in the beginning–so be very very careful.
