legislative officials are trying to make microdermals illegal, along with other body modifications. →
While i definitely agree that regulations and more educated professionals are very important, making it illegal for these modifications to be practiced is uncalled for. i have a microdermal and have never had any problems with it, i trust my piercer, and i know he knows what he is doing, i made sure he explained the process to me, and saw ones he had done for other people. i was fully aware of the complications that may occur, and i have had my piercing for about 4 months now, with no problems at all.
It is my body, and if i choose to pierce it in this fashion, then who the fuck is the government to tell me i cant.
Well, the problem is not the anchor piercing itself, but the use of punches to instal the jewelry. I’ve seen a few different methods of doing dermal anchors and the only thing that might change with such law is that anchors will be done with needles or catheters - the last one being the method I, myself, use, since in Brazil punches are extremely expensive and difficult to get.
What’s the problem with punching? The same problem with needles: some people are not trained to use it! The risk of a “punch mistake” is somehow higher because of the own properties of punches, which are very effective surgical instruments and can hurt you more than a needle if you decide to use it at home.
