| Questions | Answers |
|---|---|
| Why? | I read about it in a magazine an it sounded interesting. I'm an electrical/computer engineer now and I've always been interested in electronics and magnetic fields so it just seemed to be the right thing for me. |
| How the fuck do you replace RAM? | RAM isn't magnetic storage so it isn't affected by this tiny magnet. Plus it's not powered when you're handling it. |
| I was worried about my first iPhone until I found out it had solid state storage. None of my magnetic disc hard drives have ever shown signs of being messed up by my handling. I should test it on some of my old floppies. | |
| You ever fuck up an electronic device on accident? Do you think if you were to fingerbang a pregnant lady her kid would come out with magneto powers? | Not that I know of and I sure hope so! I might get married again someday and I'd love a kid with superpowers!! |
| Do Juggalos get all freaked out when you show them your magnet finger? | I am fortunate enough to not know any Juggalos in person. I'd love to meet a group and show them my "magic trick". |
| How painful was a surgery? Was there any anesthesia besides ice? | No anesthesia, he's not a doctor so he couldn't. We did ice the area down thoroughly and my adrenaline was high so I didn't feel much until a few minutes after it was done. |
| Do you migrate towards fridges without even trying? | Yes, but that's more because I love to snack. I do sometimes feel the magnetic band they use to keep the door shut. It's mildly amusing to me. |
| I read an article about this sort of body modification in like 2005 and the journalist described concerns about the magnet breaking apart and migrating through his body, what sorts of concerns have you had regarding this form of body modification? | Migrating is not a concern. The body forms a little scar tissue packet around it so now that it has healed I don't worry. |
| Breaking the magnet or splitting the coating is still a concern. I'm careful about the pressure I put on that finger so it hasn't been an issue yet. If it breaks or the coating splits I'll need to have it removed as soon as possible. | |
| Any concerns that you can't get an MRI scan or whatevers? | That has been a concern. I figure that most cases where I would need an MRI I would be able to tell them ahead of time and get it removed or shielded. In those few times that I wouldn't be able to tell them I'm given to understand that they would do an x-ray for metal before doing the MRI. Here's hoping! |
| There is no such thing as an emergency MRI. X-rays and cat-scans are it. That being said, if you had to wait to do an MRI and couldn't consent one way or the other, losing your fingure would probably be the least of your troubles. | Good to know. Thank you. And you're probably right. |
| You could always get a tattoo. "Metal implant" "Do not MRI" Or a red circle with a line through it with MRI. | Clever! I thought about getting one of those medical bracelets but I hate wearing watches so I wouldn't want to wear it. I also don't wear necklaces so that's not an option either. |
| I suppose I could get a card to keep in the outer window of my wallet. | |
| Once you get proven, I'm curious about the distances you can feel the field at? How different does a harddrive feel compared to an electric tooth brush compared to a microwave? | It depends on the strength of the source. Microwaves I can only feel if I'm near the side with the magnetron. |
| The big security tag killers (don't know the official name) that Home Depot uses (they make a clang when activated) gets me from two or three people back in line. It scares me because I always forget about it. | |
| At my old job there was a magnetic core I could feel tugging from over 10 feet away. I refused to go any closer. | |
| Does it make playing around with other strong magnets a bit risky? what would happen if someone shouted "Think fast!" and lobbed another high-strength magnet at your hand? | Thankfully I'm right handed and tend to catch with that hand while the magnet is in the left. I have stupidly played with some really large magnets and had some scary moments. I get a little smarter each time it happens. |
| Had one rare earth magnet get on there and it hurt badly because the pull was so strong. I was able to roll it off while holding the skin around the magnet down. | |
| How long did it take to heal after it was inserted? | I was able to remove the stitch after a week. It was sensitive to touch for a couple of months. I couldn't play a guitar (even as poorly as I did before hand) for a couple of years. It hurt too much to put that kind of pressure on it. If I had thought ahead I would have had it in my right hand instead. |
| How large is the magnet? Do you have any pictures you can share of what it looked like before it was inserted? | I don't have easy access to my pictures. Here's one I found on Google. It's pretty much identical. |
| Link to i.imgur.com | |
| Has the magnetic implant affected your love life in any way? | Yes, actually! One girl did a 180 on her flirting after she found out because she was worried that it would rip out a piercing she had in a sensitive area. |
| You must be great at party tricks. Do you often woo people into disbelieve with tricks? | My favorite is screwing with other engineers and scientists. |
| I plop small magnetic ball on the table and say something like, "You know how the body produces its own electromagnetic field, right.? Watch this. This is a small magnet, follow along. (I then clap my hands together and rub them briskly with no other explanation. Next I hold my hands together a couple of inches over the ball magnet and make it roll across the table and back.) Wanna give it a try‽" | |
| The engineers and scientists want to understand it so badly and you can see their minds burning over the possibilities but an implant is so far from their thoughts they almost never come up with it. Then they get frustrated trying to move it. | |
| Has the magnetic finger had any major drawbacks yet? | Kind of, it was a couple of years before I could use that finger to play bass guitar. Taking that much time off kinda broke my interest and I haven't picked it back up since. |
| I've been thinking about getting this done and I also play bass, has it had any effect on your bass? Whether it be your finger sticking to a string, or maybe it's messed up your tone at all? | It's never messed up the tone and the string doesn't stick but since it's in my left hand it's really painful to push the string down with that finger sometimes. I would get it in the right hand given the chance to do it over but then you might have to worry about affecting the pick-ups. |
| If you were a bass player, why on Earth would you have a non-essential surgical implant placed in the playing surface of your fretting hand? You mustn't have taken the pursuit all that seriously in the first place. | I played bass seriously for almost 10 years before I did this. When I got it done I had just come home from a 16 month deployment (during which I never thought of my bass) and I hadn't played it for at least a year prior to that because I had moved 3 times during that period (compounding my lack of thoughts about it). |
| I got the implant right after I got back and it wasn't until 6 months later that I pulled everything out of storage and tried to play again. That's when I realized the mistake I had made. Oh well. I can play again now, I just don't have anyone to play with on a regular basis. | |
| Well...why did you want it? | I read about it in a magazine an it sounded interesting. I'm an electrical/computer engineer now and I've always been interested in electronics and magnetic fields so it just seemed to be the right thing for me. |
| It's proven to be useful too. Great for picking of screws from tiny crevices or finding washers of the wrong material. (My old job used non-ferrous washers, my supervisor never understood how I kept finding the random steel ones in a big batch.) | |
| Your supervisor didn't know? | No, I don't typically tell people without reason. Supervisor had no need to know so I never told him. |
| How different was it (after having it for a while) having things magnetize to your finger compared to, you know, the rest of your life where things didn't? | Now that's it has healed I frequently forget about it. It doesn't affect my life other little surprises, the occasional usefulness, or when I'm working in the shop and get metal shavings stuck to the finger. That part actively scares me so I'm quick to get them off before they can dig in. |
| Do you have to be careful handing credit cards? How about using your computephone to do this AMA? Are there tricks to any of it? | I haven't had to worry about any of my electronics or cards. The magnet in my phone speaker or the ones in iPads for use with covers can be kind of annoying sometimes but I think I've gotten used to holding them in ways that doesn't put my finger near them. |
| I have had issues with hotel key cards but they are often so overused that they lose their writing easily (I think). Had one hotel where I had to get 4 new cards over the course of the stay. No one else in my group had problems. | |
| would you recommend the procedure? | Not to just anyone. It takes commitment to keep it safe while it's healing and to make small changes in your life to keep it safe from there on out. It is a novelty, but one that you have to care for. I'd sooner recommend someone getting their nose pierced. |
| If someone was to get one done, I definitely recommend Steve Haworth for the procedure. | |
| Would it be possible to get a bigger magnet implanted somewhere less sensitive--like on one's forearm--to use as a magnetic dish for holding spare bolts and whatnot when doing mechanical work? | I know of a couple of people who have had larger disks (still thin) put in their arms. One has some small ones put in their earlobes. |
| I'd sign up for that. | Wherever they are you always have to be concerned about metal shavings. If I had one in my forearm I wouldn't put things on it without a covering. |
| Shavings... ouch. Do you find yourself constantly picking them up with your implant? | Yes, especially since I work with a milling machine a couple of times a month. Those fine steel shavings always stick to it and I have to spend some time picking them off. |
| I accidentally got one embedded in the skin right over the magnet and had to use a microscope and super fine tweezers to get it out. | |
| Couldn't you just pull them of with a slightly more powerful magnet ? | You might think so but my experience has been that it doesn't work that way. Physics is a bitch sometimes. |
| Sorry I'm late to the party, but this is fascinating to me and the only body mod I've seriously considered having done. Two questions: Any trouble with airport security? And where can I get this done? | I've never had it flagged by the TSA and I've been wanded and gone through the body scanners. |
| I don't know if Steve still does them. He did certify some people on the process but if possible I'd go through him. Just search for his name and you'll get his site. | |
| I've looked through your posts and I don't think you've answered this yet so, Have you thought about getting another magnet implanted in your other hand? | I haven't, but I've got a good story for you. Steve and his (current/former not sure) girlfriend had two in their hands. One in the ring finger and one in the pocket between the knuckles on the back of the hand. They did this so that when they would hold hands they would magnetically stick together. |
| Do you sometime find it more annoying than usefull? | On occasion. Mostly when I'm cutting/milling metal. Other than that, if it's not being useful or novel I don't even think about it. |
| Hey! I'm actually really interested in getting this done! I'm glad you are doing this because other ama's weren't from people who had had their implant for long. Have you gotten used to it, as in has the sensation grown weaker or is it still just as strong feeling? | I do think the sensation has gone down a little but it's still really neat when it triggers on something new or unexpected. Even after nearly 8 years it still provides some amusement and utility. |
| Some of the other folk who have these have been way more sensitive than mine ever was. I think it comes down to how sensitive the nerves in your fingers are and luck of the draw. I've always worked with my hands so I think mine healed a little looser or just got banged around enough to not be so sensitive. | |
| Do you think that that would also be the case for me then since I'm studying Software Engineering so will be typing a lot and also I'll just work with electronics because they are my interest? | I type all the time. For the first couple of weeks I learned to type with that finger up. After that it hasn't bothered me. As long as you're not dealing with strong magnetic fields it shouldn't be a problem. |
| Edit: Also in your second video where you flip the magnet over, is that an uncomfortable feeling and does it hurt in anyway? | The flipping hurt a lot the first few times. Those were accidents from being too zealous about playing with my new toy. It doesn't hurt anymore unless it gets turned sideways from the normal way and says that way awhile. I can push it back flat with another finger though. |
| Thank you so much for your answers, I really appreciate them. I'm definitely going to get this done if Steve ever comes to New Zealand or Australia. | When I got mine done he offered to come to me if I paid for the flight and hotel. A little much, but something to think about! |
| Follow up how much did it cost and how painful was it? | $200 and not as painful as you'd think. The icing beforehand helped a lot. |
| it doesnt interfere with life? | Not beyond the worry of getting metal shavings stuck to that finger! |
| Right or left handed? | I'm right handed, it's in my left ring finger. |
| With your magnetic modification can you tell which way North is if you were stranded? | Geez that would be cool and useful! I imagine I could use it to magnetize a needle to make a floating compass though. Thanks for the idea! |
| What's your daily inconvenience during the initial stage? And how do you manage to overcome it? | Typing, had to learn to type with that finger held up, which also meant not using my pinky. |
| Using tools, the ring and pinky finger are actually your strongest gripping fingers. You never realize it until you can't put pressure on one of them. Just had to make myself conscious of that finger at all times during the healing stage. | |
| Push-ups, I was in the military at the time. Again, you tend to put more pressure on those fingers (at least I do, maybe I'm doing them wrong) so I had to compensate for that. | |
| Now, just the metal shavings and strong magnetic fields. Being an engineer puts you in situations that are disconcerting to someone with a ferrous object in them. I was touring an R&D facility once. There was a large cylinder with a metal sign just stuck to it that said, "caution, high magnetic field". I curled my hand up and used the other to hold it to my chest then slowly walked toward it. About 10-12' out I felt it pulling my hand. I immediately backed up and got as far from it as I could. Magnetic fields increase strength approximately cubicly (1/distance cubed) so I knew that even a little closer would be a big increase in strength and I had no intention of having it ripped out of my finger! | |
| I used to sell Energy Armor bands at a mall kiosk for a week or two. The demonstrations are bullshit but the science behind them sounds legit. I consider myself a science guy and I can smell bullshit from a mile away. Since then, I have done a little research into auras and stuff which makes the science behind the Energy Armor bands sound even more solid. Basically what they do is improve the flow of your body's electromagnetic field which improves your balance, reaction time, etc. Basically: Do you think the magnets changed your electromagnetic field? And did the changing of your magnetic field cause other things to change/happen/improve? | I have actually questioned this many times. Does more iron from my blood get trapped/deposited there? What would that mean for that spot? Don't get me wrong, the magnetic bracelet crazy was BS but, I have had one odd thing happen. The fingernail on that finger grows faster than the others. |
| That's cool. Thanks for doing this IAmA and answering my downvoted question. | I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted other than your claim about the bracelets. |
| Do animals ever investigate your magnetic finger as if they notice it? | I have wondered about animals. Unfortunately the only ones I've had around are cats and a cockatiel. Cockatiels don't have a homing sense (as far as I know) so I don't think she would have ever noticed. And while dogs like to line up with magnetic fields I don't think cats do. If my kitten has noticed it she has ignored it in typical cat fashion. |
| A few questions for you sir.. | 2: This may not be as fascinating to you as it is to me, but it always surprises me when an electronic component sticks to me. This is usually a sign that it's not lead free as most components are now days. I also had a girlfriend's earring cling to it once. She didn't know about it so it was a surprise for both of us. Didn't pull hard enough to hurt her. |
| Have you ever had to work with something that your implant would break? I ask because I'm studying computer engineering right now, and I don't want to limit myself on the kinds of jobs I could do with the degree. | I have to be careful around magnetometers (used in solid state compass modules). Some of them are sensitive enough to get saturated by magnets so I generally handle them with my other hand. I may be over-protecting but oh well. |
| So have you actually ruined anything though? | Other than cheap hotel key cards, nothing that I know of! |
| Proof, OP? It is not optional here. | Added to bottom of post! Sorry! |
| What is your favorite thing about having it? | Two things, the ability to "sense" magnetic fields and the ability to confuse the heck out of people with my magic trick. |
| Have you ever messed with people with your magnetic finger? | I answered the same thing in a later comment before I saw your question, sorry about that. Since I'm on my phone I'm going to link you to it instead of typing it out again. |
| Link to www.reddit.com | |
| What do you do when you go through airport security or any metal detector for that matter? | It's never been a problem. They've even run the wand right past it without a single beep. I got my hands on one of those wands and had to put it against the skin to get it to beep. |
| Have you ever considered using the magnet as a reminder, like whenever you feel it pull or something, you automatically remember of what you told yourself to remember? Lol sort of like having a string tied around your finger. | No, but I ought to give it a try. That's not a bad idea. |
| You are Magneto! | I made you a video! |

| Does it have any application in real life or is it just interesting. | I often use it to pick up small screws when I drop them into small spaces. I've also used it to find steel washers in a batch that was supposed to be all non-ferrous material. |
| A few times I've been asked if different things were steel or aluminum. Steel gives a slight tug. | |
| I can also tell if my chargers (phones, laptop, etc) are working. The transformers in them have a slight field. | |
| I read about the magnet implants 3-4 years ago and got really interested in getting one. i'm still in school now, but magnet implants is still something big on my list! maybe in a few years. was cool to see your vids and read your experiences :) | Great! Just take the time to think about how this could affect your life now and in the future. I mention my ability to play bass guitar in another comment. I never thought about that. |
| If you think you're good, then do what makes you happy! This has been a neat experience for me so far and I can't wait to see what happens next! | |
| The artist who pierced my septum had his done, it was one cool mod. I'd love to get it done but being a musician (fingerstyle bassist mainly) I can see it causing issues. | Yeah, that's my one big regret. I wish I had remembered my bass before I did it but I was overseas and hadn't thought about it in almost a year. |
| Fun fact: because the iPad can be unlocked by a magnetic field (hence the invention of the Smart Cover) you could just turn it on by waving your hand over it. | I will try that with my friend's iPad next week! |
| Here's my question - after multiple AMAs from people with embedded magnets, why do you believe Reddit gives a fuck about another AMA on this riveting subject? | shrugs For me it's more about getting better information out there for those who are curious. Many of those AMA's or articles have some seriously bad information in them (like people claiming their implanted in the bone or have to be removed after x number of years). |
| Besides, reddit loves and hates reposts. It's always new to someone. |
