Removal by GP or Piercer?

Amal has mentioned this method a couple of times, I’ve never seen it myself.

I’m shocked hahah I learned about this method from someone on this forum… I thought it was a public post but maybe it was a DM.

@Pilgrimsmaster

Amal, do you recall the needle guage/size?

I think it’s just a standard 20g needle for most typical injections. The important part is that a path is cut through the encapsulation so the implant can squeeze its way out.

@chipguyhere

What if you just used the very same size needle that was used to install the implant, as a blade tool to core the implant out of the skin (assuming you’ve reached one visible end of it)? The whole point of the needle is to cut a hole in tissue to match the diameter of the implant.

Some professional body modders / piercers have done this using a 8g or 6g needle… it leaves quite the hole but it does seem to work.
