4 YEAR UPDATE: I just noticed it has been a bit over 4 years since I did this experiment. My patch of glow powder still glows about the same as it originally did. Takes a UV light to charge it and the glow fades fast (less than a minute in full darkness) but it doesn't seem to have had any bad reactions. I don't have any…

Yes, I have been using over 2mA since I got the APEX device. The added current seems to give a quicker effect meaning less time is needed. The extra voltage helps mainly if you want to place the electrodes further apart. At 9 volts, placing one electrode on my head and one on my hand didn't even get up to one mA. At 18…

I just noticed that the bottom connection on the schematic should have been on the center pin of the potentiometer. It should be almost a short circuit when turned all the way clockwise so check which outside pin to use if you want clockwise to give more current. With the parts I used, the minimum current is about 0.5 mA…

I've been away from this forum for a while now due to work and other interests but just checked my DIY glowing tattoo and now, over a year later, it still glows about the same as it had originally and never showed any sign of a bad reaction to the ink. Not noticeable enough to see except in full darkness and after being…

There are at least a couple people here who have tried something similar to this. @Cassox has made some glow in the dark magnet implants using a 10993 certified Poly(methyl methacrylate) coating according to his submission form page. Here's a link with some pictures of these glowing magnets. @Johnny3D also tried some with…

I've heard that colloidal copper can help reverse gray hair but I haven't tested it myself. It may be caused by some other deficiency. http://www.healthyanswers.com/healthy-aging/hair/2012/05/gray-hair-not-a-sign-of-old-age-rather-a-sign-of-deficiencies/

Have you checked out The Odin website? Here they offer to clone a custom high efficiency gRNA that targets a gene or sequence of your choice. That site also has guides and tutorials and possibly the bioluminescent proteins. Dr. Josiah Zayner (the founder of The-Odin) also has a YouTube Channel where you might pick up some…

I have been watching the Firefly Tattoos thread but I was talking about The Lantern Implant and other things using the glow in the dark powder. Needing to charge them up would make them less desirable than the real Firefly Tattoos but I'm still curious about how bright they would be when implanted and how long one charge…

I would think one "apparent reason" for the glowing magnet is simply to test out the glowing implant as well as have a magnet implant. Kill two stones with one bird or something like that. Unless I missed it, I haven't heard of anyone actually implanting any of the glow in the dark implant ideas that were going around here…

Thanks. I didn't add the podcast to my search before. Found it now and subscribed and clicked the notification bell. Watching/listening to the promo now.

Do you have a link to the channel?

Another 2 months since my last update on the glow in the dark powder as a tattoo ink. It has completely healed and is completely invisible unless charged up and viewed in the dark. The glow still fades away sooner than I would have liked but it still glows when charged by a bright flashlight held right against the skin or…

I like it. I doubt the price would be only $15 but I hope they either offer it commercially or release the schematics. I'm sure someone could reverse engineer it and make one for their self. I expect to see some homemade versions of it before too long. The thumb itself shouldn't be that hard to make. The motors, sensors,…

Judging by the glow on the tattoo I did with the powder, I would expect it to be visible in very dark locations. You will likely have to purposely charge it by holding a bright light (flashlight or black light) right against the implant. Even with the tattoo, which wouldn't be as deep as an actual implant, just normal room…

I didn't notice a link to the album on the first post here. https://imgur.com/a/vcyHt I look forward to see how these work when implanted. The resin idea sounds like a good idea too.

I know everyone wants to have implanted stuff but did you consider making the whole thing in a wearable glove? At least you could prove the idea without needing to worry about making it safe to implant and size would be less of a concern. I didn't do much research but here's the first thing I found online that might give…

My last try was with just glycerine and the powder and it seems to have worked. I had been using gycerine and rubbing alcohol with the powder but was trying to get a thicker ink the last time. I now have about a 2 inch square glowing patch on the top of my wrist. I tried to make a star but ended up just covering it all…

I went over the area I had been tattooing one more time about a week ago and now have some peeling of the outer layer of skin but it glows even better than it did before. Still not bright enough to capture with my camera but pretty bright when charged with a black light. Not bad when just charged with a flashlight either.…
-
Another update: The new tattoo does glow better than the original one did but it is still like @Johnny3D described his version of the firefly tattoo. It needs to be freshly charged in order to see the glow. It needs to be purposely charged and not just exposed to normal room lighting. A black light charges it faster but an…

Quick update. Turns out just buying a cheap Chinese tattoo machine isn't enough. You have to know how to use it too. I redid the tattoo patch I had previously done this time with the machine tuned and set right. Won't know for sure for a few days but so far it looks like I was able to get a lot more of the ink into my…

You might want to look into Cordyceps mushrooms. http://spiqy.com/cordyceps-sinensis-mushroom-a-miracle-food/ I have no idea if this actually works but it supposedly increases the absorption of oxygen in the body by more than 40% and improves stamina and athletic performance. QUOTED FROM ABOVE LINK: In more detail,…

My phone isn't fancy enough to have a long exposure setting. I downloaded an app to try to do long exposure pictures but still no luck getting a picture of the glow. The tattoo is pretty much completely healed and is invisible in normal light. No redness, itching, or other signs that it is rejecting. It needs to be charged…
-
I didn't precisely measure anything but basically just put a little of the powder into a tattoo ink cup and added a couple drops of rubbing alcohol and a couple drops of glycerine and stirred them together. I don't know if it was really needed but I put some of the dry powder into a tiny glass vial and pressure cooked it…

Was this only taken one time so far? Probably not a very profitable drug if that's the case but sounds like it could help a lot of people (fortunately not me) if it can either be officially approved or the knowledge to do it yourself widely available. Great video as always.

These tubes charge up in just seconds but the glow fades quickly to be dimmer than the tritium especially with the smallest tube. The more powder used the longer it seems to stay glowing. A tiny bottle I have with maybe 1/8 teaspoon of powder in the bottom is visible all night. The same bottle freshly charged is bright…

The ebay seller I got mine from no longer sells it but there are many other sellers with likely the same product. Mine was listed Glow-in-the-Dark Powder Aqua/Blue/Green/Purple Strontium Aluminate Glow Pigment and I got the Green color. I did try the experiment again adding both rubbing alcohol and glycerine and it worked…
-
Here's some of my ebay bought glow powder packed into an ink tube from a normal size ink pen. The tritium vial is not the ones sold for implanting but just one I bought off ebay. The length of the ink tube is almost 1 inch long but I wasn't sure I could melt it closed and didn't want it too short. I have no intention of…
-
I tried to get a picture but my camera won't pick it up. I used a black light to try to charge it up brighter or to see it with the black light but still no luck getting a picture. It did show me why it is not as bright as I hoped it would be. I could see the individual particles of the powder instead of a solid patch of…
-
UPDATE: The tattoo does glow but doesn't keep glowing as long as I hoped. Lasts about an hour before needing recharged compared to the many hours or even all night that the powder normally glows for. It doesn't require complete darkness to see the glow but it needs to be almost total darkness. It isn't fully healed yet but…
-
@Erischilde I wasn't thinking about a giant Firefly but something similar sized only with the glow in the dark powder instead of the Tritium to make it glow. I still kind of doubt that it could glow enough or get enough light through the skin to glow bright enough but it might. The ink pen tube was just something I found…
