Guy gets Magnets Implanted into his Arm to hold his iPod

What a colossally great idea! Tattoos are so passé – the future is magnets that allow you wear your touchscreen-equipped iPod Nano without any straps.

Yup, they call it dermal implants… embedding foreign bodies inside your skin so that you can, look really cool.

Tattoo artist Dave Hurban, from Dynasty Tattoo Newfield NJ, drilled into his arm and plugged the holes with four magnets to keep his Nano attached to his wrist just like a watch.

At the very least it is creative and kinda cool, but ultimately creepy… what happens when the next iPod Nano comes out and is 1/3 the size?

    i would think magnets would destroy the Ipod as magnetics and electronics don't go well together…hmmmm

    Headline is wrong. First word should be "moron".
