Well my house we'd soak the finger until the skin was extra soft (almost prune like) then get a needle and dig it out, if tweezers still couldn't reach it.

Good luck.. splinters are SOOO annoying!

Smart splinter remover: Just pour a drop of Elmer's Glue-All over the splinter, let dry, and peel the dried glue off the skin. The splinter sticks to the dried glue.
