It’s totally possible to have identical scars. The primary advantage of bevel down is that inserting the needle past the back end of the bevel should not be difficult at all if you are tenting the skin properly. The scars would be identical in terms of healing if you manage to unflap any skin that might have gotten caught in the hollow with the bevel up method… only the crescent would be flipped for bevel up vs bevel down.
Anyway it’s good to report! Looking forward to hearing about it!
This was Matthew Jolly at evergreen body mod in puyallup wa he has done all seven of my implants and has done an excellent job on them all. These where my first flex installs and they where no where near as bad as I thought they would be.
Here is my Apex flex six days after scalpel and skin separators install. Located 2-3cm away from the wrist.
No pain, swelling, redness or infection. Have to wait four more days and I am removing the stiches. xMagic is also visible in R0
Its been about a year since my first implant. Scar is barely noticeable and there is no bump. Only way to know its there is when I use it or your poke my webbing.
Better read with my phone. There’s almost no flex in this spot and it glides on the metacarpals its very comfortable. If it breaks I will have it Removed, repaired, re-sterilized and re implanted in a more traditional position. I have a feeling it will be fine though but time will tell.
I recently got my Apex Mega installed by none other than the amazing Arnulf from Stigmata Inc. in cologne. Just like with my Titan, he did an excellent job. The whole procedure was done in a matter of minutes.
I’ve also gotten my xG3v1 removed due to the recent safety concerns. The removal was quick and easy, he didn’t even require my help. He made a tiny incision and just grabbed the glass capsule with his forceps and pulled it out. He then closed the incision with a single stitch.
Haha, I noticed that too…
I took a screenshot, rotated it, and thought it would make a great tattoo, and the scar works as the pocket opening, giving a 3d effect, as does the implant “inside” the pocket.
I sourced a Temperature chip that is not necessarily the XBT and self installed in my left upper arm. Self install was easy using a long strip of surgical tape folded over and held out by the same arm to tent the skin. using my dominant hand i performed the install. No issues with install, went great. needle guage didnt seem nearly as intimidating as the Xmagic.
Will take a bit to process but it is currently uploading.
install went great, no issues, other than the expected force needed to fully insert the needle, it was definately more than i had anticipated. no blood, no vasovagal response. i started to feel a wee bit off once the full tip of the needle went in. i began tensing my legs and feet and as i was pushing it through the feeling went away and i kind of forgot to keep tensing.
its now 2am in detroit time. my infant camera was runnign so youll hear the guy grunt and groan a few times. other than that everything went as expected.
