When I was a kid I figured out that it’s painless to put a needle under the skin of your fingertips. Id stick the needle in and back out with like 1/16” of skin to keep the needle halfway through. Do that on all five fingers of your hand to really weird someone out.

But everyone did that as kids, right?

All the time, but the idea of running thread under even just that outer layer of dermis is just revolting.

Stag do 'pays homeless man £90 to have the groom's name tattooed on his forehead'



A group of British men on a stag do reportedly paid a homeless man £90 to get the groom's name tattooed on his forehead.

The men were partying in Benidorm, Spain when they happened upon a man living on the streets.

They had an idea for him to get a tattoo carved into his head that read: 'Jamie Blake, North Shields, NE28'.

Warren ellis (the UK writer, not the Australian guitarist) used to link to to BME magazine every now and then with the phrase "Conan! What is best in life?" and then answering it with something along the lines of "modular facial hair!" and then a picture of a dude who had cut his own eyebrow off and was wearing the skin and hair as a mustache. That's the only one I remember but they got a lot worse than that. I'm sure they're all lost to the mists of time now, this was about 12 years ago.

Also speaking of BME, have y'all heard about THE newest (and hottest!) way to mark yourself up?
It's called 'solar branding' and...get this...it uses the power of the sun to, like, burn a design into your flesh! Isn't that rad?



See? They use an orb! So it MEANS SOMETHING, unlike other tattoos.

I actually do stuff like this at my studio.

"Ribbed for her pleasure" is the joke so often said as if they are the first person to come up with that correlation.

Less obvious and a gently caress ton cooler are magnetic implants.

They are about the size of a small pill and you implant them in a fingertip or, in the case of my own, the back of your hand.

If its in your fingertip you can literally "feel" magnetic and electromagnetic fields. You can feel currents passing through power cords, you can feel anti-theft devices at the entrance of shops, and then there are party tricks of just picking up bits of metal.

I use mine in the back of my hand to stick needles to it when prepping a piercing. Get the clamp or receiving tube lined up then just grab the needle from the back of my hand rather than reaching over to my station again. Its actually really useful and i cant imagine not having it now.

I have a friend that has had a magnet in his finger for almost a decade. You can't really see it. He wins tons of free beer at bars betting people he can pick their lighter up with the tip of his finger.

No anasthetic is involved. Its no different from dermal or surface piercings.

I sat with my local council to help draw up the guidelines for what they call "Reversible Semi-Permament Body Modifications".

Its a grey area at the government level and each local council sets its own rules and regs.

So long as im not using injectable anasthetics (topical products like Emla, Dr Numb, Blue Gel or Anasten is fine) then there is nothing illegal with silicone or magnetic implants.

Its obviously not for everyone and even i find the larger silicone implants a bit ridiculous, but breaks no laws.

As for the MRI question.

I suggest removing them but there is an account of someone not doing so and all it did was heat up a bit and actually restore some of the gauss rating of the magnet.

As for how big they are:









Few photos showing the scar from the incision, how its pretty much unnoticeable when my hand is relaxrx, how it protrudes if i clench my fist and push it to the surface, and lastly how strong it is.
