I believe I've pulled out around 20 surface bars, that were done with the pinch and poke method, before I knew any better.
Logistically, I can definitely see how the punch and taper method should be infinitely better, but with what I've gone through with surface piercings already, I don't think I could ever go back to them. I find microdermals to be a great substitute.

i keep reading all these negative remarks about surface piercings.
what are the odds my body is going to reject mine? ive got 2 14g dermal anchors.
most people say they dont have problems until 7+ months after getting them done. are there any warning signs or anything?

Read back through here for more info, but the usual warning signs are redness, soreness, etc.
The chances of dermal anchors rejecting are much, much, lower than surface bars. As long as you take care of them, everything should be fine with dermal anchors. :D

i could do with a bit of advice...
i had a surface piercing on my arm the start of this year, it got bruised, but didnt really hurt but i kept knocking it, and one night i hit it and bled. profusely. and wouldnt stop for ages. after a while it did and just stayed bruised.
but anyway with much deliberation and pushing by my ex, i took it out, and it healed up
then about two months ago, same time i got my septum pierced, i had it done again, and its fine. but still a little bruised from when i had it done last time

thing is
i get the occasional bit of blood, and it goes hard to move the bar, it happens rarely though, but i was wondering if its still ok?
itdoesnt hurt until it goes funny

heeeeeelp!

Hard to say without seeing it myself.  If it was still bruised from the last time, you shouldn't have had it repierced in the same spot.

the bruising has gone down now, but i get the odd day when i can see it
last time i had a staple in it, but now i have a PTFE bar in so it doesnt catch as much, and feels a lot better
