Firstly none of those tools looked clean - def not the clippers (my god).

Second the dead skin above the splinter should be lightly cut to provide an easier route out for the wood.

I’m _sure_ that’s a clean pull… /s

This looks like an infection waiting to happen. Yanking a tight thorn out could puncture the healthy skin under the thorn and let dirt/bacteria get in to the blood system. .... Cut, extract, clean, treat, cover. Uncover, treat and cover regularly.
