So, i need to tell about my titan install.
First things first: I do not recommend self installation. Its can be dangerous, looking for a professional installer is probably the best and safest option. Please do not try, just because you saw this post - it will most likely end bad.
So, 9 Days ago i installed the Titan, some of you have seen the vid already.
My cam run out of storage after aprox 15 min.

I actually had a failed attempt a week prior.
i was just not able to cut the skin, due to a wrong angle with the scalpel, not enaugh tension on the skin and wayy too much lidocaine in so it was swollen like trumps face.
While the install it had 33° Celsius in my room, and i was not in the mental state for it. i installed it just after the postperson delivered it without any mental preparation - it was meant to fail.
I got some awesome tipps and support on the Discord and after aprox a Week i felt ready to try again.
On the first attempt i had a hair band to keep blood from rushing in the finger. after 15 min the finger turned grey, that was another reason to stopp the first attempt.
when i cut the rubber away the pain was so damn massive, from all the blood rushing back and it felt like my finger will die off.
on the second attempt i just didn’t use any rubber band and it worked fine (making it looser would have also worked :D).
I injected some Lidocaine in the base of the finger, it was a bit numb in the beginning but every minute i was able to feel a bit more.
I did the first cut, it was straight forward.
Then i tryed to create a pocket with theese tampers
i pushed them with all the force i was able to bring up, it took about 5 min - then it did Plopp and was in
i kept increasing the hole by using bigger tampers, and increasing the size of the initial cut.
The Vid stopped recording just when i unwrapped the titan, but it was not over then.
I hardly underestimated the size the pocket needs, and my biggest tamper was too small ;/
i made the pocket way deeper then needed because i wanted to use all the size the tamper can offer.
in the end i held the scalpel in the pocket and did some cuts to make it wide enough.
getting the titan in was about the same afford then getting the initial tamper in.
i pushed it in with a plastic tweezer, and i was afraid it will shatter, because of the pressing force.
it created some trauma due to to the tension that the titan created when going in. the pocket it self was not a problem but the way to the pocket was just not wide enough.
You can see a little blue spot from the trauma at day 4
It feels really great, nearly healed off.
Im sorry for my poor image quality.
Edit:
Thanks
Thanks to everybody who helped me!
without all the people who gave me awesome input it would not have worked.
Thanks for not talking me off and instead giving me tons of useful infos for every question, regardless how stupid its is!!
Special thanks to @Satur9 who recommended and explained me the whole tamper method instead of cutting a pocket and @Ragebolus for all the input regarding sterility and being a cute mfer !
