That picture makes me squirm a bit, because I have one there now. I’ve had it for just over a year, and it’s been doing just fine, so fingers crossed!

I’ve seen a lot of issues with microdermals.
Compounded with the issues that go along with surface piercings and I’m starting to get this attitude of “don’t pierce flat things” in general.

i’ve been amazed to see the pictures of bloody rejections of dermal anchors. I have two just above my shoulder blades and experienced a rejection about three weeks ago. It literally just popped out of my skin. No blood, no tearing of the skin or pocket (which meant that it was easily popped back in and has actually settled down better than before). Maybe I just got lucky?

I’m certainly no expert but I am not at all suprised that so many people are having problems with them tilting ‘for no reason’. As I understand it, the design of the microdermal allows tissue to grow through holes in one side of the jewellery, keeping it anchored. So…surely the tissue grows through, subsequently pulling that side of the anchor downward and causing the jewellery to tilt. Surely people have been expecting that to happen since the early stages of their development.

would be great to see a statistic review on “how many microdermals rejected every 100 inserted”..big numbers i suppose. All this issues on md refreshed my interest to surface piercings..

I’ve had good luck with microdermals in that area. I put mine on the flater suface. Looks like this ones in a bad spot.

Anybody know if microdermals with symmetrical feet are less problematic?

Aw. That sucks.
I just had one of mine in my sternum removed because it surfaced. 🙁
Can’t wait to put it back in! 😀

Symmetrical feet would be a step back towards transdermals would it not; with more invasive insertion and removal?
