@Cathasach Your vid is amazing! I can pick objects up and they'll stick to my finger, but so far I haven't had very much luck at spinning anything! I wish I could, though... it'd make me feel cool... like Magneto or something. lol I wonder if your magnet is stronger (I'm inclined to believe that it might be from the video…

@Grazerquart and @Erifeo I'm actually not sure which magnet it is? I didn't think to ask? Which was perhaps a noob-ish mistake, but I'm happy with the strength of it, so I guess it worked out, despite that! Annnd the body mod artist might actually have told me, but if so, I definitely forgot. So, that's not a question I'm…

So, I dunno how to close or resolve topics, but I wanted to thank everyone who commented with advice in this thread. Eventually, my stitches wound up coming out on their own/with little help with me, so removing them did not pose an issue. If you'd like to see magnet tricks/post healing pics, please refer to this…

Safety pins, as well, something I discovered due to the "anti-ism" safety pin movement here in the states: I like to live dangerously, as you can see in the next pic. ;) TW for needles/sharp things below! ..........

Update: You'd be surprised just how many Christmas decorations are magnetic.
-
@Meanderpaul You said it scans.... and that's how it recognizes the passcode... it can scan the chip through your hand the first time, then? Or do you set it up before?
-
@Jupiter, I'm not sure. They WERE on another site. Perhaps the link has expired? IDK. It shouldn't have.
-
@Cassox, Will do! Thanks!
-
@Meanderpaul Ok, so I think I follow. You said the chip has a code... Is it, like, a sort of serial number associated with it that you type in to pair it with the reader? And can you pair it with a new reader once it's implanted, or is it necessary to do that before? I ask because what if the reader breaks/you get a new…

So, my stitches are out, but my finger is getting sore again after the soreness had gone away, and I'm wondering if that's normal? B/c I'm worried it's a bad sign, healing wise -- it seems like a regression, instead of a progression, anyway. Also, the skin is a discolored red at the implant site and the people I've met…

@Jupiter, I'm a noob, myself. Probably not the best person to ask for advice. If you're interested in browsing, though, I'm pretty sure Dangerous Things, cyberise.me, and Grindhouse Wetware are the three main biohacking product sites... Although, I don't think Grindhouse Wetware has anything for sale online at the moment,…

@Meanderpaul, I recently watched Amal Graafstra's Ted Talk on Biohacking where he talked about his own Rfid chip and I thought it seemed really cool idea. I'm wondering how they work, though, not in terms of getting them implanted, but in terms of set up. Because in his demonstration he already had the chip linked to the…

@Ian, is there an estimated date for when it can be expected to go out onto the market? Or is that still in flux?
-
@eggit the last one came out on its own, so it's not a problem, anymore! Goodbye stitches, lol!
-
@Zerbula So, I should have them taken out Wednesday, then, at the latest? I had the implant put in the evening of the 21st, so it's only 3 full (well, almost, today isn't over, yet) days, since I've had it.
-
@Chase561 I don't LIKE having them there. The skin where the sutures popped out hurts a lot less than the skin where the stitches are still in. Anytime they bump against something, it pulls them, which rlly hurts. I'm only keeping them in b/c the artist who put my implant in hasn't told me to take them out yet and he said…
-
Update! Just from normal bumps and wear and tear with the finger, my stitches are starting to come out. The skin is mostly closed up now (there's small little punctures, but nothing that's in danger of opening up), so my question is how much do I really have to worry about this? Should I be concerned?
-
@Meanderpaul Good to know! The last time I had inflammation in a finger it was an infection (I'm a nail biter, so it happens sometimes), and it had me worried. Annnnd the artist didn't tell me by name the specifics of the magnet and I didn't think to ask, either... (I suppose I could always call and inquire, but I'm…
-
@BoboTheEpic Yeah, they are! The artist told me to keep them in for, like, a week? I got my implant done Friday night and he told me to send him pics every 2 days starting today, so he can tell me when to have them taken out. I take it you think I should take them out sooner rather than later?
