Skin mounting electronics

Hi all

Wondering if anyone else has experimented with this and has a good approach to keeping electronics on the skin for longer than a few days at a time.

I'm pondering sticking a small chip on the back of my head using superglue and hypafix but in the past this approach has not lasted beyond a week so i'm curious if anyone has another approach (preferably one that's healthier for my skin than the superglue trick).

Thoughts?

   You might want to try Silicone based Medical Adhesive . I haven't tried it myself but a friend of mine who dose fx makeup for a living claims its the strongest adhesive that's safe for skin. If you do use it be sure to shop around it varies in price a lot by retailer.
