I posted a pictures of the pierced keloid recently, and I’ve posted about keloid removal in the past as well… Here’s another example, this time done by Efix in Quebec — very cleanly executed! They’ll be back stretching their ears in no time if they want.
This entry was edited to fix the artist credit. Sorry!
The fact is that sometimes procedures go bad and have to be reversed… Transdermal “implants” (I put it in quotes because they’re not quite implants; more like really intense pocketings) are one of those procedures that seems to be more problematic than most. Here’s an example where four transdermal implants sunk in and completely grew over. My friend Howie (aka Luna Cobra) — who emphasizes that he did not install them — took them out.
Note to self: Update BME/Risks.
As you can see below, sometimes lobe piercings blow out with the most revolting of tumorous keloids. Here’s a before and after (or should I say more philosophically, after and before) of a correction done by Andre Fernandes at Tattoo You in Sao Paulo, Brasil.
