gold plated magnet questions.
I am relatively new to the grinding scene however i have experience with other body modifications such as gauged ears, snake bites, tongue piercing and a smiley piercing that i have done myself. I have also done a few of my friends snake bites. i did these with appropriate sterile clamps needles and protocol to be as safe as possible Although i know sterile procedure for these piercings is not near as strict i am no stranger to precaution and intend to do much research before i proceed. the question i have at the moment is regarding these magnets i have come across they are gold plated and i assume they are plated much better than someone could do at home maybe even to the extent that a second bioproofing would not be needed if implantation was handled carefully? although i will probably do so anyway to be extra safe. these magnets are 1.524mm by 4.064mm and 9000 gauss i am curious to know how these would compare in strength and sensitivity. i realize that trying to predict the resulting sensitivity of these magnets relies on many factors and would merely be an educated guess however the experienced members of this community would have a much more accurate guess than mine i would assume. another concern of mine is rejection due to the size of this magnet and the possibility of breaking or shattering it because of the width and everyday stresses. If anyone has magnets of this size or bigger with success or lack there of your insite would be appreciated. i know that i have covered a lot in this post but i have also done a significant amount of research and where as many of these topics may be covered other places there is a lot of conflicting information and since this is a pretty serious modification i would like to have my basses covered as to prevent harm to the one body i have. the reason i don't buy the m31 is i would like to have multiple magnets and as of now its out of my price range. if these magnet is not suitable i would also like to know if anyone has recommendations for similar platted disk magnets and other success stories with magnets and the extent of your magnetic vision other than the m31. umm other than that i think i have my implantation procedure down and i will have a friend nearby who is a trained medic for the military he will atleast be able to do my suture and drive to the er need be.

For example, take a look at: https://www.kjmagnetics.com/proddetail.asp?prod=D41G-N52
Good luck!
I didn't use any painkillers when I got my 2 m31 magnets in, and it honestly wasn't bad. Used a 10ga. piercing needle to make the pocket and just sorta stuffed the magnet in there. :)
If you want a magnet that size just get the m31s already. They are stronger than anything else you will find, already bioproof, and easy.
In terms of the M31s strength and gauging sensitivity in general - there are a lot of factors beyond mere surface gauss, and gauss/size ratio. Yes, the M31 is the strongest that I know of in terms of this ratio. If you wanted something stronger though it would be very easy to do: get a bigger magnet. You could lift bigger stuff but would be more likely to experience tissue damage and you wouldn't necessarily have better sensation. What we (SFM) really focused on when developing the M31 was field shape and size.
I'm curious because I wonder how the pressure being exerted by the magnet in the pocket affected healing (that is assuming you didn't widen the pocket with the needle).
