Human magneto
New Jersey tattoo artist Dave Hurban just couldn’t stand the thought of being away from his music, so he implanted four magnets into his arm to hold his iPod Nano in place without a strap.
To attach the iPod to his skin, Hurban took the end of the magnets and attached them to the end of the iPod, which clicked in place with the magnets implanted into his skin.
Hurban said, getting the four magnets under his skin that hold the iPod in place was a fairly typical process in the body piercing world. “Those magnets are actually called micro-dermal anchors,” Hurban told Digital Trends, “and in body piercing they are very common. The tops are actually just 5 millimeter magnetic tops.”
Hurban documented his entire piercing experience as part of his iDermal project.
Hurban said the magnets are so strong that the Nano actually stays in place while he is jogging.
