from a lack of dermal anchors. all 13 came out this week. it makes me sad i loved them. god damn medical field.
what are you doing that made you take them out? I don't see any reason for you to remove them unless you're and MRI tech and your around super magnets all day.
medical assistant in a doctor's office. on top of it when i washed the jewelry off after i cut one out myself (oww) it was a rust kinda color and so were the ones that the doctor removed. SS isnt supposed to do (obviously). they were awesome, and I miss them, but they also got in the way. very sad week for me as i watch the holes close up. luckily the doctor did a badass job and mad it completely painless and no scar at all. not even a small speck.
my friend had those on the outside of her wrists. she ended up not really liking them she said they got in the way alot and snagged on stuff. and one got ripped out at a water park, she didnt even realize it until she looked down and saw her wrist bleeding. shes wanted to get rid of the other one and when she got them she was told that the jewelry should be able to be unscrewed from the post, but when she tried it it wouldnt budge because of all the scar tissue around the post. so now she has to get it cut out, but she said she was gonna get her dad to rip it out with pliers cuz her insurance wont cover it
uh that sounds retarded. an 11 blade and something to hold onto the post to pull it out would work. i cut one out with an exacto knife. it was sterilized.
and there shouldnt be scar tissue around the post where the jewelry is. the jewels on mine were usually easy to change unless they were on too tight, then you just get someone stronger to loosen them.
apparently the guy who did it is some pretty well known/renowned piercer so hes always traveling and all the other guys at the place where she got it dont know much about it shes funny though. a lot of talk. im sure shell end up going to the dr.
we took turns trying to unscrew it. its definitely scar tissue the other one, the one that got accidentally ripped out, its a ball of scar tissue. and she says she can feel the hard tissue in her wrists. theres a medical term for it but i forgot
sounds like she needs to think things through more before leaping into something. i didnt realize i was being handed a job that would want them out, but badass pay and full benefits from day 1 is pretty good incentive.
where do you have them, cuz my mom is her boss and shes not big on visible body jewelry and tattoos so brittany would just wear bulky bracelets or at least band aids
the outer part screws INTO the part in her body. Scar tissue would not affect how it comes undone. Sounds like it's just screwed in too tight.
there were 10 from neck to sternum. cant always cover the neck ones with hair cuz id be assisting in procedures where my hair has to be back.
i could see how the scar tissue would obstruct it. her skin was significantly raised there. i havent seen it in a while though. also. she had some weird thing go on. like a minor infection or something. i dont remember what she said it was called
