NFAQ- details regarding magnetic implants
First of all, a big HALLO to all grinders here and thanks for having me here!!!
I am a tattoo artist with a studio based in Czech Republic, I am planning to get my first implants now starting with neodymium in each finger and some rfid´s.If all goes well I’d like to start doing this for the public over here and spread the word of here unseen possibilities, grinding and transhumanism.
First thing: Maybe it’s just because I have been an outsider until now, but it seems there is not much common effort/focus going into projects.
You open a thread, you post what you have in mind and then... nothing, no results, no feedback, the tread gets abandoned.
Can someone explain? (don’t mean nothing by it, just seems to be strange that such a community has had no real project done)
And now a few magnet related questions:
1) If I have magnets in my tips, will using a tattoo machine be a problem?
2) If the magnets are in each finger, will that not cause the magnets to reject? I know L has them in nearly all tips...
3) Has anyone here played a console like xbox with the magnets? Any problems?
4) How big is the difference between an N60 mag and an N45? Big, none?
5)What is the difference between a disc shape mag and a cylindrical one?Effects?
Comments
I'll try to answer as many questions as possible.
1. Yes, it might be a problem.
2. There is a chance they will push or pull to each other. I HIGHLY recommend only starting with one implant before you decide to get more. I think one in each finger is too much.
3. No problem playing x-box, credit cards, hard drives or touch screens.
4&5. <maybe someone else can answer. I'm not sure>.
We do have a lot of projects in the works. Some of them are top secret. Grindhouse Wetware is one development team. They have a couple projects they hope to show in the next few weeks.
As far as commenting goes, we do have a habit of not giving updates sometimes. A lot of us chat on IRC or google hangouts and get questions answered there (and forget to update the forum). Sometimes we hit technical problems and abandon projects until a suitable solution is found. I'll try to post more results of my projects soon.
the other problem is parkour.... but i may just man up and deal with it.
Putting consistent pressure on the fingertips, like you do with parkour, is a bit more complicated. Unless the magnet is really big, I can't imagine it rejecting as a result, but it might increase the amount of pain. @Unqualified says that he can rock climb with only mildly more pain, though.

To test if you impact there, or scratch it up or whatever... if it'll cop a beating, put a little pen line on it, then go for a train. Or maybe white out, or whiteboard marker. Something that will come off if it takes a hammering, but not just because of normal sweat, flexing, and motion.
Hope that helps.

that was exactly where i was thinking of putting it, bish. That sounds like a good test too, i think the placing will be alright, but it cant hurt to try that out. also, what state are you in?? i read in another thread youre an australian too, it would be funny if i had met you before.
You?
/thread hijack.
I put a disc in a finger ~3 weeks ago. About 3 days ago i removed it (because it rejected -- that's another story) and i put in 7mm cylinder in another finger at the same time i removed the disc.
Obviously, i haven't waited the 6 months to achieve the optimal sensitivity, but the immediate results are that the cylinder is MUCH weaker than the disc.
This is the cylinder: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005DRPTFG/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
@Halogen, that's hardly a fair comparison. The disk is a neodymium magnet (n48) while the stirrer bar is of unknown material and may very well be a weaker alnico or samarium cobalt magnet. From what I've read, people using neodymium cylinders have achieved results comparable to similarly sized disk magnets.
The trouble is, neodymium can't withstand the heat of PTFE coating, so they are more often coated with Parylene instead.
