Hey guys! I've not been around in a pretty long time due to work and all that general 'real life' stuff going on :) Just dropped in for a quick check and I found this post up top, which is great as it's all about what I wanted to know! Except..... No release date :p Now the thing is, well over 2 years ago I bought an M31…

Woooo! Been waiting for this - will look forward to placing an order :D

@Poppy Having magnets in two fingers next to each other shouldn't be a problem. After doing some research and getting advice from the pro's here, that's exactly what I went for, and had no problems :) Well, one of them rejected, but that was due to an infection rather than interference! While I had both in, there were no…

You might be thinking of - finish your dinner first - dermal punches for ear gauging ;) That actually does remove a (pretty hefty) chunk of flesh and is a rather barbaric procedure compared to a slow stretch. Healing is slow, full-closure healing very unlikely, and many people can't stretch much beyond the gauge of the…

Oh sweet!! I've been waiting for just this. Two in my fingers, and a bit on the side ;) @jessicka Having had many piercings myself, I absolutely have to disagree. Piercing needles are NOT designed to remove flesh like an apple corer, but rather to separate skin and flesh (usually for the absorption of liquids through the…

That is very sad, I'd hoped it was just a local thing :( My favourite piercing studio was run out of town by someone with more money and less hygiene than a sweaty camels' nasty bits after 3 months in the desert. Same with my old tattooist, his business partner stole all the gear inc. autoclave, buddy had to close shop and…

It looks like what would happen if the Goa'uld (Stargate) created a Harkonnen heart plug (Dune). Looks pretty, but one tug and it's all over!

Update: my middle finger has pretty much fully recovered now! No sign of infection, and the skin is healed, albeit missing a layer or two. I'll give it a few weeks to heal up good and proper, then try again. @dezie_mm I agree it sounds like it wasn't deep enough, especially if the magnet itself was not allowing the wound…

That's sad to hear :( Was yours also due to an infection? I suppose losing one has made me all the more protective and aware of the other! I've been super careful not to let it knock against things and get stuck to door handles etc... Typing is the bugger because it keeps catching the metal clips under my keys!
-
It was just straight pus when I lanced it. I did have a little blood when removing the magnet a little later on, although that was while the magnet exited the wound. I don't recall seeing any before then. As for black blood, I've only seen that where the blood has gotten old and deoxygenised, usually trapped in a blood…

Thanks, it's already much less painful! Still a little swollen but not nearly as angry now. That's certainly possible, I just figured it might've set in later as it got better then worse, but I'd wager you know far more than I do! Yeah exactly, as I said I'm full of piercings so am totally aware of the risks. I'm just…
-
Yeah definitely, I also think it became infected during the healing rather than the actual implantation, as I said it looked to be healing quite nicely at first but then took a turn for the worse. Pretty gutted really, but that's just the risk we take by shoving bits of metal in our skin. I've had a good track record with…

Whoops! I duffed that last answer, thanks for the correction TheGreyKnight.

Hey Pib, let me first start by saying that I only implanted my first mags this weekend just gone (planning to do a '1 week later' write-up on Saturday), have no official medical experience, and that you should hold off on following any of my advice until one of the pro's have checked in here! Now that's covered, let's…

Assuming your hands are cuffed behind your back, then would this make your butt the ideal placement for a skin pocket? Obviously some playing around would have to be done to figure out exactly where to put it - you don't want to stab yourself every time you sit down! I'd imagine to the side of your coccyx or the top, outer…
-
This is pretty cool, I'll have to keep following your results throughout the next month! I'd be interested to see how accurate your readings are. As a diabetic it pays to keep an eye on things like body temperature for signs of illness, or possibly even a change in blood sugar levels (not an accurate glucose reading, but…
-
I also got confirmation today... All excited and have already prepared the medkit!! :D
-
As you said, I would definitely recommend waiting until you're feeling 100% again! While you are ill, your immune system is busy dealing with whatever infection is currently attacking, so you don't want to create another potential access point for bacteria to get into. Wounds will take longer to heal during an illness as…

I had a little trouble finding it at first, but it's actually pretty easy - just follow the link @glims posted and click Community Library at the top. You will find both files here, a little way down the list :)
-
Placed an order for 2, and looking forward to getting them!
-
Okay that sounds like a fine plan, thank you very much! I'll be sure to detail my endeavours as I go along and keep you updated :)
-
Hey glims, thanks for the welcome, and the concise answers! :) Awesome, that was a big worry for me as I'm often handling different components, switching them from hand to hand without thinking about it and so on. If I can safely retrieve dropped screws from between the 'boards too, then even better! I have indeed just…
