Theres also “Chipping” which refers to a repitan using chips of crest to decorate themselves. For instance, eyelash color made from crest dust.

No, they are physically chipped off. In the “present” and “future” eras, if you get a chip in your crest from hitting your head hard on something or whatever, it’s very expensive to get your crest filled.
After birth, the only thing the grows in terms of the repitan’s crest is a females’ fin. When they mature the fin begins to grow. It stops growing around 16-17yrs.
Some females choose to chip their fin off, and get it processed into beauty supplies.
If a younger repitan gets an accidental chip, younger than 16-17, the crest may heal itself, so a certain extent.
