My 6 Month Experience with Implants
Left hand in order of installation:
• Haworth magnet
• xNTi tag
• M31 magnet
I live in a liberal part of America. People here are accepting and curious of new ideas rather than automatically repulsed. My mother and brother were fascinated with why I would want magnets in my body and I happily explained. After the shock wore off they didn't feel differently.
Where I live the scene is predominantly catholic and Lutheran. I myself am a practicing catholic but I haven't mentioned this to any church scholars. My hand has never burst into flames at church or when contacting the Eucharist or holy water so I can verify that these devices are not, in fact, evil. You're welcome.
My coworkers are all excited, curious or confused by my implants. No one has given me any "number of the beast" arguments. My coworkers range from a 23 year old female engineer to a 55 year old PE (Professional Engineer). My young coworker likes when I demonstrate to the sales guys how I can lift a magnetic pen off the table. My boss, the 55yo, asked if I saw any implants at CES (Consumer Electronics Show) and I showed him the only one I know. Me.
Here's a video of me at CES. I show up just after 2:00.
To anyone who's nervous about being ostracized, talk to the people around you. Show them examples of cyborgs and gauge their reactions. You might be surprised that people are not all insane about implants. If they are, just don't tell them you have them or are considering getting one. Unless you want to start an argument in which case you were warned.
As someone who passed out for all three implants I guess I started off on the wrong foot each time but they have worked out very well for me in the long run. If you are considering getting your first implant I highly encourage you to go for it.

I know that's a lot of questions sorry about that ;) I should probably just suck it up and get my self drugged lol.
After the needle is out out and the magnet is in, the pain recedes, much like either of the aforementioned injuries.
I used ibuprofen beforehand, and then a few hours afterwards, and aside from contact tenderness, it wasn't a big thing.
