Magnet Injection
Hi guys,
I've been super into researching magnet implants for a long time now (3 years?) and am finally ready to get one. The thing is, I would much rather have it injected than have to implant it with a scalpel and stitches. Does anyone know either where I can get a needle that will work to inject the magnet, or know someone in the California Bay Area who is willing to implant magnets?

@Cassox is probably the closest in Tehachapi - if you're down for the drive there. I'm in Sacramento and he's who does my body hax.
EDIT - Forgot to mention, I'm already planning on heading that way after the holidays if you want to carpool down there.
Smaller entry wound? maybe, but minimal difference.
Whereas my large needle implants are all in but not exactly where I want them nowadays from migrating and experience I suppose
I would definitely try a mag in a needle for an edge of a hand though
Update! Using instructions from here and here, I inserted a
magnet into my left ring finger this morning. So far the pain is not bad, and
the bleeding has gone down significantly. Very excited to start sensing things
with it, but in the meantime I thought I would type up my process.
-
Using the diagram of the hand from here, I
marked where I wanted the magnet to end up
-
Soaked my tools and magnet in isopropyl alcohol
for an hour. In the meantime scrubbed down my workplace with isopropyl alcohol.
-
Applied a tourniquet using a hair band, then
massaged the blood out of my finger as recommended in the first link.
-
Washed my hands in isopropyl alcohol, then in
saline
-
Froze my finger using the isopropyl method from the second link. This worked amazingly. I didn't feel any pain at all during the procedure.
-
Inserted an 8 gauge piercing needle about 5mm
below where I wanted the magnet to end up. Once the needle reached the desired
depth at the location I wanted, I removed it.
-
Pushed the magnet in initially with my thumb,
then pushed it to the end of the tunnel with the sterilized tine of a plastic
fork as described in the first link.
-
Rinsed the insertion site with saline
-
While I applied pressure on the insertion site
with gauze, my lovely assistant helped remove the tourniquet.
-
Bleeding was minimal, so I was able to apply a
bandage after only a few minutes.
-
Took an ibueprofin and sat down to watch a
movie.
I’ll update again soon with healing progress.
Was fixing to do my own magnet implant and didn't like the idea of a scalpel.
