    what the hell... why not. I am a carpenter in the U.S. so i am familiar with foreign object under the skin. first, try a good sharp set of nail clippers. you can dig out(relatively painlessly) a bit of skin surrounding the object, until it is exposed. then, just grab and pull.
    If you cant get deep enough to expose it, usually within a day or so it'll puss up, resulting in the object being forced up a bit, (dont let it scab up tho)then back to the nailclippers.

    Goto the ER ASAP, tell the Docs and get it out before it goes someplace really bad. Do pass go, do not collect $200, but goto the ER NOW.

    btw, grab the thing with the clippers. you can push down on the clippers around the needle which will help expose the thing a bit. while pushing, clamp down on the clippers, and you should be able to get ahold of the thing. if you dont get it out by tomorrow, definitly go to the er.

    Go to the ER. Get a tetanus shot, who knows where the needle has been. Who knows what you have pushed under/into your skin/bloodstream. Hopefully it was a sterile needle.

    tweezers suck for this. they have no grabbing power. the clippers are much stronger grabbers, and will get ahold of stuff tweezers just wont grab.
