Experimentation is important. However, experimentation and minors don’t mix.
So this was done by another piercer within your “brand” of studio. Aren’t we all just as good as our weakest link?
Unfortunatly, another studio that caters to those who don’t know any better–and change shops when they do.

Ok so my mom who is an eye surgeon took a look at this, she knows about the concepts of microdemals. Heres her comments” As she blinks the foot is going to wear on the tissue of the eye. This will cause a tumor eventually” “Best case scenario a tumor will form in order to protect the delicate eye tissue (could take a while to occur). Worst case scenario she goes blind”
She also added that when this is removed it is going to cause an eye lid deformity which will probably lead to her eye looking lopsided and her not being to close her eye properly along with tearing problems.
She discussed some other things about it that I didnt add but you get it.

i know what to use in order for piercings to heal, thats not what i had asked. I simply asked how you managaed to do this without having any complications. as you know lane, i wasnt being an asshole or a bitch by writting this post. I have only been in this industrial for just over a year. I want to make sure i do the right things.So by learning you asked questions, i was always told i could. There are things that i dont agree with, just as you dont agree with somethings. I will never stop asking question nor will i ever question my own beliefs, i had a great teacher. Thanks to him i am what i am now, and i will forever do my best!!!!

No matter how Lane tries to explain it away, doing experimental procedures on minors smacks of being unethical and just kind of makes him look like a dick.

Man … I just had a very well healed and not so well healed mircrodermal removed this week. This is the second time I’ve had both removed. They are a pain in the ass to removed. Esp if they have healed well. You pretty much have to cut a little at some point and pull alot.
TRY THAT ON AN EYELID. FRIG. I think removal of the freaking thing should have be the factor of NOT doing it. I hope they pay for the pastic surgery she’s gonna need later on to fix her poor freaking lid. I hope to God that the eye surgeon from post 52 is wrong.
whoever this lane guy is … needs to freaking think of the customer’s health and safty before being all experimental. If you want to push boundaries … try it on your own damn eye.

I want to find out what ends up happening to this girl. I wonder what the long term effects are going to be?

The girl will probably heal the thing fine and when she needs to have it removed, it will come out really easy. As a result, Lane (and people like him) will continue to feel justified in trying new stuff on people who are less-than-ideal candidates. Unfortunately, this industry is chalk-full of people who are almost obsessively compelled to have their names associated with the “next big thing”.
The kind of sad thing about it is…what Lane has done really isn’t ground breaking at all. He had nothing to do with creating microdermals or pioneering their testing or anything of the sort. He is just another guy, like many who have come before him, that has questionable enough ethics to make him feel okay about sticking a microdermal in a potentially-risky location on someone who probably has no real understanding of what they have opted for. We’ve seen it before…we’ll see it again.
And now, this little corner of the Internet is all a-titter with Lane’s name. Unfortunately for him, it’s because he couldn’t reign his ego in and not because he’s well-respected for his good judgment and impeccable skill.
Of course, people like that usually don’t care As long as their name is coming off people’s lips/fingers…mission accomplished.

Amen. Really well said, Derek.

Reputation is a funny thing though, D-rock.
It really does come down to a “as long as they spell my name right” parable in most cases.
You’re right. This will probably NOT turn out bad. It’ll heal, or not, with little to no complications and come out smooth. In six months, people will have forgotten about this.
Lexi will still be carrying the torch, but for most people… It’ll go up there with the other dumb things we’ve seen. People will still be social with lane when they see him (as well they should- it’s not like he killed your dog) and the world will go on much the same way it has up to this latest “oh no they didn’t!!!!”
In six months, it’ll be something else. The ante will be raised. Why tattoo your eyeball when you can UV TATTOO your eyeball!
It’s the nature of things.

Holy shit, I totally want a UV implant in my eyebal now.
Maybe once Howie is done teaching his $10k class on of his students can do it for me!
Anyway, Im actually on Lanes side of this. Although I think it is a bad idea, the client didnt and is of LEGAL AGE TO MAKE THAT DECISION.
Consent was given and regardless of bad idea or not, thats what matters to me.

Besides, its not like he ahs dogs running around his shop like other people do…
(Oh snap Lexci, I went there!) 🙂

cere: last I recall there is absolutely NO “age” based regulations/legislations in regards to Body Piercing in Alberta, I can confirm there’s none for Ontario.
The most any one can go by in regards to “Age” regulations is the current “Age Of Consent” laws, which is indeed 16 years of age. However in Canada its about an ethical/moral stance and each studio can either choose to adhere to strict ethics/morals or they can be loose with their ethics and morals.
Is what Lane did ILLEGAL in the terms of the Health Department/Canadian Laws,etc…Unfortunately not…But as always when you don’t proper define what someone can and can’t do, then it falls into ethical and moral standpoints and everyone has their own interpretation on that subject.
Personally my ethics/morals would have dictated that I would have advised said individual wait at least until they were 18. Which is the age limit I prefer my clients to be in regards to Surface Piercings, Genital Piercings,etc. But that’s just MY ethical and moral standpoint, people can either agree or disagree on that standpoint as its their rights to believe what they believe.
The one thing I’d say though is that the more these types of things get put out there, from people with genuine intentions or from people just wanting their 5 secs of Internet Fame…The more the Government’s will be forced to put spotlights onto the industry and then finally it will force governments to regulate our profession…But sadly we have to realize that if that’s the situation, we could find ourselves in a LOAD of problems…Next thing we know we won’t be able to perform tongue piercings, genital piercings,etc,etc,etc.
So either we hit rock bottom and let them sort it our for us…Or everyone just “mans up” and maintains some form of agreed upon “Age Of Consent” and adheres to it..
But like I said since there’s no legalized form of “Age Of Consent” in regards to piercing realistically Lane COULD have put a microdermal in a 14 year old if he really wanted to…Although I suspect if someone saw a 14 year old with a microdermal, there’d be a lot more hell raised naturally…

You’re right, Cere! Dogs running around the shop would be a bad idea! 😛

Dont forget that you actually RUB the dogs on the clients before working on them.
Warren, I know about Canadas lack of age restriction. Im just saying that none of us know this girl, so how can we come down on Lane for doing this to her? If he wouldve done it on say, me, everyone would just think we are idiots, but because of her age, it makes it this big issue.
I really dont beleive in Age discrimination and on that I completely agree with Lane.
Althoguh I agree with everyone else that its a bad idea. Although I think its even more of a bad idea to have dogs at shops.

no comment….oh wait, that’s a comment….

cere: then based on no age discrimination how did Lane view this potential candidate as an ideal one for such a different procedure?
Did he perform a maturity assessment? Did he spent a few hours/days talking with her about the situation? Did he assess how she naturally heals based on previous piercings? (fyi: Based on what I’m seeing on her lips, would have vetoed an eyelid microdermal , until she could figure out how to get that irritation/inflammation sorted out)…
If we’re going to go that route, I’d have even expected Lane to do that sort of assessments to you too Cere. But the only difference here is you are an adult, not a minor…And as I didn’t quite mention above really, but realistically I wouldn’t be against it if Lane did it on you…I’d call you retardly stupid, but then we’d have a laugh and you’d call me some name back.
And I’m pretty sure I also said above I don’t think its a “bad” thing either, nothing illegal was technically done….But when there’s no laws governing this area…Just because its “not illegal” doesn’t mean it should just be done.
