  • @Skeptikos, I found the cleaning and maintenance while it healed to be no problem at all. I used H2 Ocean several times a day, changed the band-aid several times a day as well, and took off the band-aid whenever I thought the stitches weren't at risk of being snagged on something to let it air out. I would also wash the…
  • Have others noticed their magnet getting weaker? Is there a way to strengthen it again?
  • Got the implant by Steve in Tempe AZ a few days ago. He was super hospitable and entertained me for the day as my return flight was late at night. In all around nice guy with tons of interesting things to say. Now I just have to wait awhile for my finger to heal...
  • Getting an implant done in 5 days by Steve Haworth... Should prove interesting ;)
  • Seems to me like putting a magnet in the forearms or in some other odd place might be good for the occasional cheap parlor trick but it stops there. It's all about sensing the EM, and small magnets in the fingertips seems to be clearly the best for this purpose. Doesn't seem like much of a decision to me.
  • I take it there are still no other people doing magnetic implants openly. balls.
  • I have another question about the resilience of the silicone or parylene coating. Has anyone tested this? What sort of forces can one of steve's magnets withstand? Or one coated with sugru? Any predictions about the long term survivability of these things? could they go decades+ without breaking, or does a single accident…
  • I would be more than happy to pay 200 dollars to get it done, if there was a place to do it at. Flying to Arizona to have it done by Steve makes it more like $500+, which is a lot less forgiving. Like Oak said, self surgery is not particularly appealing to me, but having a magnetic implant is. Alas.
  • As many people have said, finding a piercer/professional to do the magnetic implants is near impossible. I live in the bay area, there must be someone in SF that does this sort of thing, right? Or L.A.? Does anyone know? I heard mention of a list of people on Steve Hayworth's site but I was unable to locate it. It's crazy…
