That's actually super cool. How do you get these implants?? Are you DIYing it? :o how do they stay in the same place and not like, travel up your arm from your hand? :o
No DIY for me. Some do it but I value my health ๐
I use mostly the services of body modders for big implants, and ordinary tattoo parlors can handle NFC / RFID glass implants (think the stuff your cat or your dog gets at the vet). All but two of my implants come from Dangerous Things. They have a list of installation partners you can use.
Depending on the implant. it can shift a bit for a while, then it settles. Uncoated glass implants do that a lot, but it's on purpose, so you can remove them easily. Coated ones get encapsulated by your body and never move once they settle, but they're harder to remove. Large flat implants require a pocket be made under the skin, and once installed, it takes 2 or 3 weeks for the pocket to "dry up" and shrink around the implant permanently.
Interesting stuff! Thanks for sharing... Now to find some cool NFC/RFID stuff that I need ๐๐
Check out the DT forum for inspiration.
Very interesting, but I think Iโll stick with my flipper for those needs.
