Sounds cool! Haha. I'm sure the redness will fade with time too. Can you see or feel the plate? I am surprised that the hardware doesn't bother you if you are a skinny guy. I am 5'11" 160 lbs so I am a lighter build but I like to think I have enough meat on me for it to not be too noticeable. It can't be any worse than the spiky bone sticking out of my shoulder right now anyway! My bone healed in a "malunited" position (kind of like ^ but not so severe) which causes tenting of the skin and other functional problems like strength/endurance. The idea is to re-break the bone and line it back up in the right position. Should be a fun ride...
