No, it's not a big deal and it may not require attention. It can cause an infection though!
What I would do is try a different remedy, one that draws the splinter to the skin without needles. You can find them everywhere. If that doe st work, don't sweat it!
The skin grows from the bottom up. So if the splinter really is in too deep, the skin will push it out eventually anyway. You don't have to do a thing- just watch for infection! If it starts getting oozy or weird, go to the doctor and they can take it out easily, with painkiller.
Hope it comes out soon :D

If you can see the tip, it is well visible, get a pair of tweezers and pull it out gently
