Hi,
I was just informed that my family & i will be going on a vacation to Greece which means I will be in a swim suit. The problem is that I have six microdermals on my stomache and very conservative parents who have no idea I have had them eight months.
I was wondering, is there was a way to hide them? Are there tops to the dermals that will hide them? I really don’t want to give up my very costly babies but i may have to because my mom made me take out my vertical labret as soon as she found out. And im afraid if she saw these i would be kicked out of my family.
How long does it take for you to heal after microdermal removal? Will there be scarring?
Thanks:-/

Honestly, your best bet for hiding them is a one piece bathing suit, which from what I understand, is very “in” right now. While there are flesh colored hider tops, they are not all that effective, especially for 6 pieces.
I don’t know your parents at all, but in most cases I have found parents, if talked to on an adult basis without screaming or whining are receptive to the “why I modify my body” talk. If you approach them on your own accord and explain these two key points, they should be receptive:
-Why you choose to modify your body.
-How the modifications you have chosen are semi-permanent, or if they are permanent, how they will fit into your adult life and future career.
If you can’t answer these questions then your parents have every right to be questioning your decisions. If you can answer them and you calmly and maturely explain your reasoning to your parents and they are still not receptive you have only two choices; confirm to there wishes or tell them something along the lines of “I am sorry you feel that way. I still do and always will love you, but I have made these choices for my life and I am committed to them. I do hope that one day you will realize that what I choose to do to my body is not much of a reason to cut ties with your child, and on that day i will welcome you with open arms.”
Of course if you still live with your parents or off of your parents money, you really have no grounds for arguing. If this is the case move out, take care of yourself and prove yourself as an adult, then go back to ‘the talk”.
As for the questions about removal of the microdermals, this is a perfect example of a question that should have been asked BEFORE getting the mod as well as a perfect example of questions that can be answered with a simple search on BME.

Get a one piecer in a big bold colourful print. The bumps caused by the microdermal tops wont be nearly as easy to spot as if you got one in a single colour.
fionarse on April 1st, 2009 at 8:55 amHonestly with the semi-permanence of dermal anchors, along with the high chance for scarring upon removal, they’re not the best mod for someone who’s worried about their parents making them remove them. Research before modifying!!!!

eh? eh?
Lacie on April 1st, 2009 at 7:21 pmAs someone who had to take out her baby for a minor sergury I feel your pain. But healing time was short for me, probably because I took very good care of the wound left because I wanted it back, and my very generous piercer redid it for me fot free.
BUT, the placement you have them makes them totally coverable in a one piece. Now like Sean said they arent too “hip” compaired to a two piece, but you could get some type of low cut really pretty one from a high end swim suit place or victorias secret, and then it would seem a lot less odd.
seriously the one piece thing would solve your isses

christy on April 2nd, 2009 at 9:12 pmto rachel, he said to get a one piece because he believes they are in, not that they aren’t.
hiddendragon on April 2nd, 2009 at 11:15 pm#2: Last I checked all body modifications had a high chance of scarring. I’ve certainly seen more navel piercings with bigger scars than microdermals!
Dimruthien on April 2nd, 2009 at 11:56 pmAs a piercer of 6 year let me say- with no regard,,
UN HIDE ABLE WITH OUT OR WITH TOPS.. JUST learn to STAND UP for what you want and STOP complaining!
James on April 6th, 2009 at 12:20 amDon’t swim (fake a period?) or wear a one piece? x
BabyObscene on April 6th, 2009 at 2:46 pmI’ve found taking off the tops,putting some vasaline in the internal thread part and putting some make-up over it very sucessful
and depending on how flush they sit just taking to the tops off and wearing a onepiece you’d have no chance of them noticing 
good luck
