..so why would you get magnetic implants without giving them a try right away?
These magnetic implants were done by alienboy, who you may remember from one of his many modblog features or this interview.
On a side note: These magnetic implants were a fairly recent submission so I assume they are the newer generation of magnets that have not been known to have the same coating failure issues the initial batch did.

are there any cons to having this done? like messing up electronics or anything?

I don’t understand the title. Are they not permanent implants?

Anders you rock mate!!
Another great submission and mod from you, will have to drop into ‘Flesh Impressions’ soon and get some work done by you.

As the now 3yr owner of the only titanium coated implant I’m proud to see people are still trying new things.
If I had to do it again I would go with the parylene coated magnets as they seem like they could be smaller than my titanium coated magnet, which is about the size of two grains of rice. Certainly not an implant for people with smaller fingers.\
Those incisions on the finger look deep. Looks like they cut right under the finger nail and made a pocket right under the pad of the finger tips. Not sure how that would work out because I know if I grab something wrong my ring finger(the one my magnet is in) I definitely get an odd, almost painful feeling. I hope this persons magnet keeps and doesnt go bad like the others we’ve seen.

@snakebite: These magnets are so small they have absolutely no effect things like computer hard drives and credit cards.

Saw the girl who had these done about 6 weeks after. Healing up fantastic, with absolutly no insertion mark scar at all. Great work.
– She got 2 in each hand.

wouldn’t these destroy your credit cards? i was under the impression credit cards/debit cards/whatever get wiped when they pass by a magnet…maybe that’s an urban myth, though.

no they aren’t strong enough to wipe your cards and they dont set off metal detectors at airports either.
Here is a video of me using my magnet to lift some magnetic balls.

if you had them in both hands would it be inconvenient?

Awesome man, i cant wait to hear about how they turn out! Hope no problems occur like the previous magnet implants that have been done.

Lauren: I was thinking about the same thing: If you can lift these nails, the magnet is strong enough to kill a credit card

that looks like a painful procedure, maybe I’ll have to give it a go 🙂

Wouldn’t you risk nerve damage in your fingers?

I have one myself, and here’s a couple things…
1. Obviously I’m on the computer all the time. They don’t affect computer components (hdd, ram, etc) at all.
2. Wherever the incisions are made, you’re going to loose some sense of feeling between the magnet and the surface of the skin (very very minimal). It may have to do with that you feel the magnet more than the “feeling” on the skin.
3. I wouldn’t recommend making the pockets from the tips like that for comfortability, and the fact it’ll be a lot more difficult to heal. On the side of the finger is a lot less traumatic and easier to heal.
4. Wherever you place the magnet, think first. If you place the magnet right where the finger holds things, (the pad) it’s going to be really uncomfortable to hold heavier items. Remember the story of the princess, the pea, and the mattresses? Something like that.
5. Other than that, they’re tons of fun, and I recommend them to everyone as long as you get them done by someone that knows how to do the procedure!
