Why did you get your first implant?

Hey guys,

I'm a feature writer for Rewired, a new magazine about how technology shapes our identities, and I'm writing a piece about body hacking. I was wondering whether any of you would be happy to answer a few questions about body hacking for me to include in it.

why did you get your first implant? was it painful? What does it do? how far would you take body hacking - are you content with the implants you've got, or do you hope to get more and more?

All the best,

Ben
