i think id worry about removal of the jewellery mostly. if there are complications surely the removal of it would just be super awkward.

i second richard at 3, hayley at 6 and the rest that said the lip rings look big/infected
and i do consider the eyelid interesting. worth a follow up to see if it gets rejected or it heals just fine and starts the new era of microdermal eyelids… haha not that i’d get one though, i’m a bad healer and worse at luck. i’d probablly rub it off and split in two my lid.

That looks…. uncomfortable. The angle looks so skewed…. I doubt that was safe.

It will be interesting to see. I’m no piercer but what I’ve learnt from the piercer I work with I’d estimate the dermal is actually above the eyelid between the socket and the eyebrow, thus why its pointing at a slightly downward angle. It only looks like it’s in the eyelid cos her eye is open and the eyelid is curling under it a little. If you feel that part of your face while you blink there’s actually very little disturbance or movement and it’d theoritcally be possible to do a dermal pierced deep enough to not reject easily.

wtwta? same aftercare the company you work for recommends, but I guess we all enjoy a little attitude on IAM don’t we?, strange how you leave it to modblog to ask a fellow employee, and former boss about a procedure. Saline. She has had no problem with infection in her eyelid and her lip does appear to be inflamed (not done by me) George at DFX phase 4 did it. This was done to see how well it would heal on a return client who asked to have it done what ever risk may arise from the procedure, and agreed to come in weekly to have me check on it. She has stayed true to her word and come in once every week. So far it looks to be doing great. The eyeball is not irritated at all, so weeping from the wound, and she says it feels great. Consider the upper and lower layer of tissue and the natural pocket that sits between them. The pocket already exists and there for as comfortable as it was without the jewelry. This wasn’t done to make a new trend. It was done to see if it was possible. I guess some understand risk and some sit in the corner and never take any.

It looks great on her, but it’s not something I’d ever try on myself. I hope she’s able to wear that safely and comfortably…

Jesus, holy awkward giant lip rings.
Did anyone else notice how quick Lane was to point out that he didn’t do them??? He can do no wrong in his own eyes, obviously. I think what you’re “trying to do,” Lane, is start a new trend among hackjobs such as yourself. Hey, let’s call this the “Lane” microdermal placement, so everyone remembers you long after you’ve been put out of business by reputable shops.
I hope the sixteen year old enjoys her trendy microdermal, and I hope you enjoy karma biting you in the ass- Because one day, it will.

(George at DFX phase 4 – the same company affiliated with your own did the troublesome lip piercings. Strange how you’d leave it to modblog to…. nevermind. LOL)
Yes, groundbreaking experimental procedures have to originate somewhere, Lane. But not on minors who aren’t even old enough to legally buy liquor and porn and not using anesthetic in an eyelid for a dermal anchor. (And I hear – from clients – you regularly are using injectable anesthetic on BASIC piercings too) Shame on you! Are you piercing the genitals of minors yet?
No, there are no laws where we are for that kind of thing yet – but there WILL be and they’ll be so strict we won’t even be able to use tools we regularly SAFELY utilize for our industry (like biopsy punches) thanks to you and your groundbreaking experiments.
Maybe instead of trying to find the “next best thing” for our industry you try furthering your OWN reputation and the name of your studio (that I’ll be the first to say has the potential of having the means to have a reputation no one could hold a candle to – AGAIN) by using implant grade jewelry in the piercings you’re not plugging into kids’ eyelids and promoting a healthier future for the basics. There’s no shame in not putting people at risk to get your name out there. Your name’s no better than your weakest attempt.
You have really awesome people working for you. When they start voicing their concern for the things you’re doing maybe take heed….

You hear a lot of things Lexci and start a lot of rumors. If I regularly used injectable anesthetic it would be included in the service. Nice attempted but once again you failed. How is a micro dermal piercing less safe than doing an eyebrow piercing on a sixteen year old that you know is going to migrate out and scar them for life. I am looking at new, better alternatives to old washed up ways. George is Ali’s brother and bought the DFX location outright, we do not train together or share techniques. Give it up Lexci, three years of bashing hasn’t worked in the past and it won’t work today. Nothing your narrow mind comes up with will stop people from progressing in the industry. People as negative as you bring the industry to a halt. You were getting pierced at sixteen and seemed to survive just fine. Watching porn? people get married at 16 and start having legal sex there after, liquor is consumed by minors but is illegal. Piercing is legal so far in this country at 16, so I will continue to pierce 16yr old clients.

(For the record, it hasn’t been three years. It’s been two. Since August 1. Time’s a’ draggin’, hey? LOL)
I don’t start the rumors, Lane. They’re posted with your pictures on modblog that get people’s heads shaking!
And the truth gets posted in the diaries of the kids you’re doing surgical and unethical procedures on. AND from what they tell me in person. I’ve spoken personally with a handful of them. At least stand behind what you’re doing instead of lying about it.
How is a micro dermal IN AN EYELID and administering anesthetic for it less safe than doing an eyebrow piercing!!???? Is that a serious question!??? Give your head a shake.
I don’t understand where you’re under the impression I’m wanting the progression of our industry to stop…? On the contrary, actually!
Anyway,I’m not here to tell the world what kind of person/piercer you are. But whether or not YOU did this piercing or someone else did I think the way it was done – groundbreaking or not (ppbth) – was foolish.

It looks good and appears to be healing fine. So whats the problem?
As for saying there may be complications related to her eyes, well there might be, but you might get hit by a car on the way home from the studio.
We need people to push the boundaries so we know what’s possible, all power to them that have the guts to do something unique.

Personally I don’t see this as “pushing boundaries” or anything in regards to that effect with what we’re seeing here.
We already know that Microdermals/Surface Anchors/Single Point Piercings can be placed in MANY different locations of the body…This isn’t a new concept or a new way of thinking.
Ground Breaking = The proper Creation and Utilization of the Surface Barbell design
Ground Breaking = The proper creation and utilization of the Microdermal/Surface Anchor design.
Ground Breaking = The Creation of the Internally Threaded jewelry design
Not Ground Breaking/Pushing Boundaries = Insertion of a Microdermal in various locations on the body…
This is body piercing people….not inter-stellar space travel.

I think I’d prefer a scar on my eyelid to the scar that’s on my eyebrow.

“It was done to see if it was possible. I guess some understand risk and some sit in the corner and never take any.”
In my humble opinion, “risk” and “16 yo client” should never be put in the same sentence.
Ethics schmethics, I guess.
Had this been on an actual adult who worked at a shop with the piercer who did it, I would have simply thought it was a bad idea but hey, what the heck- their face. It wouldn’t have given me much faith in the artist who did it, but I wouldn’t have really given it much thought.
That it’s on someone that young is irresponsible.

When a 16 year old tells you they understand the risks of a microdermal on the eyelid, they’re shitting you. I completely agree with what Shawn said.
If that little beauty decided to get comfortable and had to be scalpelled back out, I’d say that was a risk.

I think this is a case of ‘just because you can doesn’t mean you should’
I’m 16 and legal to get pierced here in the UK but yeah, I think it’s totally irresponsible to perform something this risky on someone my own age
As for her lip it’s not looking overly happy

Yikes! Forget rubbing your eyes in the morning.
And I’d hate to see that thing growing out on the inside of her eyelid >_<
