Yes, they are quite popular - they look cool, and the procedure to get them is pretty harmless as well, at least compared to other funny stuff 
But today (after some years or decades of experience), most piercers call microdermals “semi-permanent bodmods”, so you already know you won’t keep them forever. My piercer was actually surprised that my microdermals lasted for so long.
So I guess for a short-time experiment, it’s a viable idea - but not for something lasting. Especially not if there is any kind of permanent irritation going on, like wires going through it or something like that.
