use the long, straight teasing needles that come as part of a medical dissection
kit, and to have two or three available, so one can be heating while the other is
being used. Some folks use canned sterno or chafing dish fuel as an inexpensive
alternative to a propane torch.
A propane torch kit that includes a nozzle, igniter and one canister of propane
will cost about $25. A torch holder isn’t absolutely necessary, but it certainly
frees up one of your hands to do other things, and removes any worries about a
lit propane torch being bumped or knocked over and causing problems. A torch
holder can cost anywhere from $20 to $50, or you can affordably make one of
your own, using any kind of sturdy frame and some spring-loaded craft clamps.
Your needle stand can be constructed easily from a simple block of wood with
some holes drilled into it. Dissection needles are available inexpensively in a
variety of lengths and styles; you might want to purchase a few different kinds,
so you can decide on your personal preference. Do keep in mind that shorter
dissection needles with plastic handles may be problematic, since the handles
can melt when the needle is heated. On the other hand, dissection needles
without heat-resistant handles may become uncomfortably hot or difficult to
handle over the long periods of time that may be required for a complex design.
Thick metal or wooden grips are usually the best solution. The only way to
know what works best for you is to try them out. They’re usually quite
affordable, at $1 to $5 each.
Prior to a cell popping session, shave the area of any hair, and disinfect the area
with alcohol or a topical disinfectant. Wash your hands thoroughly with an antibacterial
soap. Position all of your equipment for easy access, and in a way that
precludes anything from being bumped or knocked over. If you have an intricate
design planned, you may want to mark the skin or transfer your design to it in
order to ensure that your marks are on target. After all, there’s no way to erase
any mistake that might occur! You can’t, however, burn directly through a
paper design template, because that will cool the tip and it won’t have the
desired effect on the skin.
Novices may be a little startled at first by the sizzle-pop sound that can
accompany the application of the needle tip to the skin; it is simply the result of
moisture on or in the skin cell being converted instantly to steam. Warning: the
procedure will be accompanied by the odor of burning flesh. Under normal
circumstances, it shouldn’t be overpowering, and it will differ from person to
