Says it cannot be rendered due to codecā€¦ im using chrome tho

Infinite loading on Firefox. Probably HEVC.

Works on Brave

Just incase its any different for you

Itā€™ll probably end up where it ā€œwantsā€ anyway, but keep coralling, and smashing back the prenatals and Jelly (Jell-O :us:)

My browser of choice is Vivaldi. Itā€™s Chromium, but way faster for everything that I do.

wow yeahā€¦ taping it in place until it encapsulates is a good idea

How has that location worked for you? Do you mostly scan with phone or desktop? Anything you would have done differently with the location and/or install in hindsight?

@GrimEcho The location is perfect, I couldnā€™t think of a better one and wouldnā€™t change it if I could. And Iā€™m not just saying that, genuinely glad I ended up switching my plan from forearm to P3.

I scan a lot with both desktop and my phone and itā€™s been great with different orientations on different phones and readers. My installer did a perfect job (their first flex ever as well), I would just make sure they donā€™t try to enter from the knuckle side to make healing easier.

I was a little skeptical of back of hand just because there is a lot going on with blood vessels, tendons, and bones, but itā€™s been really great, zero problems, complaints, discomfort, or inconveniences.

Iā€™d highly recommend it.

Decided to upload a video of my whole process for my own documentation and perhaps for the benefit of others. Canā€™t say that I am by any means a professional or that you should do what I did, but maybe someone will get some use out of a video of my self install.

If anyone knows if there is somwwhere else appropriate I should share this, let me know.

Dumb question.
I have a whole crapton of DT glasses in me.
All self installedā€¦ all no lube.
Only reason is I had not heard of using lube till relatively recently.

Dumb question - what lube am I supposed to use???

Surgical Lube

All the x-series have lube on the needle already. Itā€™s called Dow Corning medical fluid. The large custom needle for flex installation doesnā€™t but those products come with a sachet of surgical lube.

Thatā€™s why I didnā€™t see much of a difference when I tried on my last x- :sweat_smile:

Is there any scalpel shape that works better than others for us?
Iā€™ll have to remove an x- soon (I can video it if there is interest)

For x-series I really recommend trying the saline injection method. Basically a doc injects saline USP into the encapsulation pocket with the implant. Then basically they inflate it, remove the needle, and kind of push it out with the saline like a pimple.

Another great job by JR (Mean Street Tattoos)!
