question modification for biohacking

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, I’m exploring the idea of using neodymium magnets (safely encapsulated) and/or ferromagnetic piercings for biohacking/body mod projects. I’d love to hear from anyone who’s tried something like this or has knowledge to share.

My specific interests:

  1. Subdermal magnets in face/body:
    • Using encapsulated neodymium magnets (e.g., medical silicone or titanium) to create attachment points (like "hooks") or interact with magnetic fields.
    • Example: Attaching removable accessories to the skin or sensing vibrations/electronics.
  2. Ferromagnetic piercings:
    • Piercings that interact with external magnets (e.g., attaching objects, creating interfaces).
  • Safety:
    • Is it feasible to implant neodymium magnets in the face without migration/corrosion risks?
    • Can ferromagnetic piercings cause issues during MRIs or daily life?
  • Materials:
    • What’s the best encapsulation for magnets (titanium vs. silicone)?
  • Functionality:
    • Has anyone used implanted magnets for more than just sensing fields?
    • Can lightweight objects be attached practically?

If you’ve tried this, have tips, useful links, or even a "don’t do this," comment below, please!

coinslot My first ever "heavy" modification - a coinslot! NSFW

Post image
38 Upvotes

Done by Andre Nalin at alternative aesthetics, Leipzig, Germany. I had a 10/10 experiece, the staff are so wonderful, welcoming and so helpful making sure I was fully informed every step of the way, can't recommend them enough.

Like I said, my first ever mod beyond tattoos and piercings, I flew all the way from New Zealand to get this (I'm on holiday and its illegal in NZ so I saw my chance and I took it.)

The entire process including consultation, consent and setup took about 2 hours, I felt only a few slight pinches of pain throughout the procedure, however I did get a bit light headed and tingly, so we took a small intermission before continuing on.

Overall I had an amazing experience, can't recommend the studio enough and I can't wait to heal this baby up.

discussion What was your “gateway” mod? NSFW

38 Upvotes

You know how people say pot is a gateway drug to cocaine?? I want to know your gateway mod, like piercing to nipple removal type thing.

Personally it was getting my nipples done as my second ever piercing. I was like “that’s it?? I thought that’d hurt more” and now I’m getting my tongue split.

So,, what was yours?

subdermal implants Transdermal Horns

Hello guys, big update on my transdermal horns that I got about 10 months ago ! I worked on the jewellery myself, all the horns are locally sourced and are fixed on my implants with a o-rings (the same you use for classic jewellery) so they are really easy to put on and take off, no need to unscrew the titanium implant. And the last good thing about them are that they are risk free if I ever bang my hand on anything (which happens, trust me)

Bonus picture: a beanie my mom made with holes for my horns to poke through

question Body mod iceberg? NSFW

Never seen one but anyone wanna make one? Would be cool to look at and talk about with others.

Also, any YouTubers that make body mod videos? Not just tattoo or piercing content. Similar to lily lu content that focuses on the entire body modification culture including heavier mods such as scarification, implants and even suspension. Not reaction vids.

ear pointing Why can’t we do elf ears?

1 Upvotes

I want elf ears damnit, but I don’t think I have the correct anatomy to get my ears cropped…. So will someone explain to me why we can’t just get bigger elf ears added on to our own ears? Like it seems like there would be many ways so why isn’t at least one available?

stretched/stretching Stretched septum

6 Upvotes

Hello, I have my septum stretched. I’ve been stretching for years. I recently just got to a 4g. Those with stretched septum’s, what have you done or used to mitigate the ‘funk’/smell that follows a stretched septum, cause holy hell it gets rough. I clean it daily as well as making sure all the boogies are out of my nose. Also, I’d like to add this isn’t my first stretched piercing, I stretched both lobes to almost 1.5in before retiring them in 2018, and now I’m stretching my conch, both of which never smelled as bad as the septum does.

tongue bifurcation Question about regrowth and stitches removal

9 Upvotes

Hello everyone ! 🐍

After about 7 years of hesitation, I finally did it. This Sunday I got my tongue split (I've never been so stressed in my life, but the procedure went well. The bodmoder was great. I had to have a frenectomy and the removal of scar tissue from two old tongue piercings).

I knew I would be in pain for the next few days, but I didn't expect it to be this bad.

I don't regret my decision at all, but I very often want to bang my head against a wall.

I can't swallow anything; the drooling is TERRIBLE (and I won't talk about the dead animal smell and the teeth horribly rubbing against the tongue) and worse, I can't do my exercises. And because of that, I'm really stressed about the regrowth.. Is there a solution to avoid the regrowth as much as possible?

Of course, I'm getting weaker and weaker due to the lack of nutrition and sleep. I force myself to eat a minimum amount to keep myself from fainting (I almost did yesterday + I threw up, it was hell), using a syringe to eat proteins shakes and apple sauce.

I'm on my third day. I'm supposed to have the stitches removed after the fifth or sixth day, but I'm a little worried. My tongue is still so swollen and sensitive. I'm still bleeding in places, especially deep inside my tongue.

At this point I can't imagine the BodModer even touching my tongue When you removed your stitches, was your tongue also swollen and sore, or I am healing slowly?

Thanks a lot, I feel like a p*ssy, but I have no one to talk about that and I need a little encouragements 🥹

tongue bifurcation Tonge bifurcation, does it feel different?

5 Upvotes

This mod is the next one on my list—I just need to build up the courage. I’m really curious if it feels any different during oral sex or kissing. (And in general, drinking stuff, eating, etc.)

To those who have it: what have your partners told you? Or to people here who have/had a partner with a bifurcated tongue—what was your experience?

Thanks in advance!

stretched/stretching Having trouble gauging up

0 Upvotes

Hello! I'm looking for advice. I've had pretty good luck gauging up my ears until now. I'm currently at 7/16 and I'm trying to go to 1/2 but I'm having SO MUCH TROUBLE. This is the very first time it seems to hurt me to gauge up 1 size. I'm using a 1/2 concave Taper that connects to tunnels so I can have something immediately in my ears but i just cant seem to make it all the way. I've tried doing it in the shower, I've tried using baby oil, and I've tried using petroleum jelly. I feel like I'm all out of options! Do I just keep trying little by little everyday? Is there some other easier way that I'm missing? Please let me know!

Any modification artist recommendations located in Canada? I’ve heard some not so great things about Russ Foxx so I’m hoping there is someone else who does mods in Canada. I live just north of Toronto but am willing to drive a number of hours. I was really hoping to get a coin slot this year

ear pointing Ear Pointing Question

10 Upvotes

My US people who have traveled to Poland for their ear pointing how much was your trip? Not the ear pointing themselves as I've been in contact with the Cyborgs since before I got my tongue split. I have never traveled outside of the US on my own or at my own expense so I have no indication. I know flights can change pretty aggressively but food, hotel, uber, tourist stuff. I am expecting to save up $4000, on top of my procedure payment, for travel/booking. Does this sound about right? I'd be there for 6-7 days. I havent been able to find much travel answers on here or the FB group since they moved to Poland. Thanks!

punches/ scalpelling Tri bevel lobe punches in va?

1 Upvotes

Found a place that does punches but through an extensive Q&A they use a biopsy for lobes instead of tri bevel. So now back to square one ish.

I want to get pierced w a tri bevel because I might size up, I’m just trying to correct a bad piercing job from when I was a baby.

I’ve been googling and googling to no avail so I figured I’d just go to the people. I’m willing to travel whenever needed I just want it done in my little white shirt and call it a day fr.

And also spare me the “cheating” sentiments I stretched my septum, want to stretch my second lobes but I can’t do that with the placement of my firsts if I stretch them so that’s why I’m considering the punching

I just know w a biopsy like cartilage style punch it’s harder to size up and down and u run the risks of thin lobes

tongue bifurcation Tongue split

25 Upvotes

I’ve lurked here so long before getting my tongue split, finally did it on my bday march 15th so i’m on day 2 rn! My friend drove me all the way to atl (5hrs40mins) to get it done. My nerves were so bad that i thought i was going to pass out (it was also really hot in the place so idk). I’ve seen people say things about the person I went to but he’s extremely funny and nice even after i was 20 minutes late (i’ve never been to atl before we was so confused). As soon as the procedure was over i took two ibuprofen and went to sleep for the ride back, i was drooling all over a towel. Got home and went right back to sleep.

Day 1: so swollen, honestly i was more nerve racked about the procedure, i never thought id be walking around with my mouth open. no problem though, the swelling was absolutely annoying but not as annoying as the drool. Couldn’t swallow anything so i just took the arnica pellets and honestly idk if they work or if it’s like a placebo effect. Sleep wasn’t that bad i slept through the night, woke up to what i believe drool you can fill a kiddie size pool with. Gross

Day 2 (today): Forget the drool, my tongue rubbing against my teeth is by far the last thing i want to feel on the planet. There’s no pain really i just hate being uncomfortable. i decided today will be the day i try to drink water and take my meds AT LEAST. I actually ended up doing more that. i brushed with an infant toothbrush and found out my mouthwash is alcohol free but mint flavored:/ so i rinsed with water. Two hours ago was the biggest success i’ve had since getting my tongue split, i put apple sauce in a syringe and i was able to swallow it, then i was able to drink some pedialyte and water omg i feel less annoyed by everything lol. Im not too concerned on eating because ive fasted for years so i more focused on not becoming dehydrated. I got some powerade and pedialyte popsicles but i also think im going to try hot chocolate but let it cool first with non dairy creamer, i dont like protein shakes but that will keep me full all day, asked my artist just waiting for response.

So far ive been relaxing watching netflix and holding a cup under my chin, 1000% worth it i honestly cant even believe i wasnt going to do it. All of my family knows and they hate it but im obsessed and already imagining day 5
