Transdermal jewellery

I’m contemplating getting a set of transdermals, but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to put the jewellery in that I want to.
What I want to do , is get two transdermals on my forehead, and put in (likely custom-made), alien antenna. I’m not sure, but I figure any kind of metal would be too heavy as I’d like them to be a couple of inches, but I’m hoping there is someone out there who can do custom jewellery that could make me a set of antenna that I could wear, which would also be flexible enough to allow some wiggle as I walk.
Is this possible, or would it stress the piercing too much?
thanks!
Once the transdermal heals fully (assuming it does, which is FAR from always the case), a flexible end that is not too heavy, should be fine. As far as having it made, damn near anything is possible. For example find the antenna that you like that were made for something else and have the threading tapped into the bottom of this antenna or have it held on by a prong setting. Finding someone to make these ends may be difficult. I have dealt with Greg@ Infinite Body and Barry@ Anatometal, for custom transdermal pieces in the past. I don’t know if either would want to take on something like this, but they would be a good place to start.
PS:You may also want to consider trying large gauge micros, Anatometal makes them up to an 8 ga now, instead of the trandsermals.

just guessing/think-tanking this out.
1) Heal the Transdermals (if you can, I know way too many including myself whose didn’t)
2) Custom attachment that has a counter-sink to it, kind of like a bezel set almost?
3) Someone who custom forms Silicone (Steve Haworth perhaps?) in the shape of antennae. You then before putting the attachments onto your transdermals, force the silicone into the bezel set attachments and that secures them.
However those would not probably be able to removed so once they are in there, they are in there, unless the silicone is squishy enough to remove and not damage the actual metal attachment.
Just kinda rambling here with the idea…It’s in my head, I could totally draw it out on paper lol This could technically also be done with the Microdmerals.
Although I think with the 8ga “micros” now,etc I think they need a new name…Microdermals, Macrodermals, Transdermals *snickers*
