Is this safe to pack into wounds? Or is this a safe™ situation?
I mean… this is exactly what you’re doing when using it with scarification / cuttings. As to the “safety” of it… this particular application has not been specifically tested in a clinical trial. As such, it’s being provided with no particular suggestion as to its use case or safety therein.
I can say I had this exact thought the other day when I banged up my hand real good.

Haha, I was referring to deliberate wounds in this case, I suppose.
I’ll have to weigh the risk personally then. I’m between the powder and xGlow at the moment. Some kind of luminance-over-time graph under or in skin (or simulated skin) comparing the implant and powder would be cool. Or maybe a timelapse.
The idea that I can remove the implant is appealing, if there did end up being some complication with the powder breaking down I assume it would be a hassle to remove.

that’s in the works 
yeah… in theory you’d need to remove tissue… likely a lot of it.

update on comparison between xGlow and glow powder…

I’m assuming that the powder is brighter because it ends up closer to the surface of the skin, right?
very likely… or rather, the powder ends up distributed through the entire epidermis and dermal layer, whereas implants are sitting solidly under the dermis in the hypodermis fascia tissue.

I didn’t even see the xGlow when I was shopping last week. That much more user friendly for me. I’m thinking through what to do with my powder. My tattoo artist is doing his research as well.

I was expecting to have to cut roughly into the fatty tissue. Based on this, do I only have to get through most* of the dermis?
This isn’t as bad as I was expecting (which was the removal of my xG3).

I’m just speculating but basically I think you still have to cut all the way down to the fat because the image I posted is really what you should expect after everything is fully healed. You’ll notice that people who keep the wound wet with dressings see a continuous flow of powder out of the wound. The powder will follow the fluid.
I don’t know for sure but my hunch is if you pack a bunch of powder into the fascia fatty tissue layer, then let the skin scab up, you’ll see a distribution as the skin heals up.. as long as you can keep the scab stable.
The funny part is, scarification practitioners typically aim for thick scars, which means continuously removing scabs to promote the biggest visible scar. This will remove powder from the skin.. so it’s kind of at odds with traditional scarification practices.

how long the glow powder stays in the body ?
Could be indefinitely. We’re not certain
