COULD MY CHARACTER HIDE A KEY BENEATH HIS SKIN?

QIf my fit ex-Marine wanted to hide a key under his skin and cut it out later, what would be the best location? I’m thinking the upper body area. How deep would it need to be placed?

AIt could be placed anywhere he could reach and that would be out of sight. The chest, belly, inside an arm or leg. The incision would need to be only half an inch wide and deep since the key would easily slide just beneath the skin. He would then need to suture it closed and let it heal. Later he could open it and remove the key.

He should sterilize the key and any instruments used to avoid introducing an infection. This could be accomplished by simply boiling them for a few minutes.
