I like the idea!
Ouch! That’s a fun install haha
My first install was an xSIID. Searched quite a large area and talked to every tattoo or bod mod artists and was rejected every time. Went to a bar I started going to after I’d get out of school and asked the bartender if he’d do it. 15 minutes of tutorial and he jabbed the needle in P0 til it hit a bone and pressed the plunger. Then spent what felt like an hour hunched over the bar with the vasovagal shit. Could never get a read on it afterwards, not sure if it’s too deep, or if it stuck to the plunger. Ended up getting a new xSIID implanted in the same location by a piercer that works extremely well.
My first self install went sideways too. Got a little too drunk and didn’t want to wait on an opportunity to drive a car distance to the pro who installed my other implants, so I decided to self install an xG3 in the knife edge. Spent 15-20 minutes trying to push the needle through the tougher skin and was barely able to push the needle in enough to implant, but then it popped back out because there wasn’t enough room. Drunk self install is not a good idea for multiple reasons. I basically said “5 second” rule and reloaded the injector and went for it again in the P1 location. Somehow, nothing went wrong in terms of infections.
Since my piss poor decisions, I have learned how to self install x series properly, and know when I need a pro. Still searching for a pro in the Kansas City region for flexies though if anyone’s got a hook up. I want an Apex at some point and I know from my failed flexMT self install turned pro install that I can’t do it myself lol
