Hi WrennLyn,
Can you post a photo? Take a sharpie or good pen and mark 2 things;
-
mark the tag location… draw a line directly overtop the tag
-
mark your index metacarpal bone… draw a line directly overtop the bone
Post a photo with those markings and I can give my opinion as to whether it should come out or not. Basically, the rule is, if it’s at least 3mm away from bone, you’re fine. If it crosses over bone or is extremely close, it should probably come out, wait for the location to heal (60 days) and be autoclaved and re-installed using a 10g piercing needle and taper.
