Man attached to iPod
Professional body piercer Dave Hurban is a man attached to his iPod.
He works in a tattoo parlor in Newfield, New Jersey. So he implanted four metal studs in the skin of his wrist and secured his iPod to them magnetically.
What he said: "I just invented the strapless watch". "It's way simpler than you think it is," said Hurban. Dave Hurban documented the process on video, naming the project ‘iDermal.’ And he posted his "How To" video on YouTube, where it has been viewed nearly 900,000 times in two weeks.
Hurban, whose other body piercings include two on his lip and one on each ear, said the unusual application was a big hit at a tattoo convention in Baltimore last weekend.
Hurban told the tech website Digital Trends that the magnets, called micro-dermal anchors, are quite common in body piercing and are not that odd.
'I took the ends of magnets and actually adhered them to the back of the iPod, and that's how they click into my skin,’ he explained.
Hurban said that the 30-minute procedure, while cringe-inducing, did not hurt as badly as he envisioned it.
While Hollywood blockbusters have long been predicting the rise of Cyborgs – part man, part machine - iDermal could be setting a trend that will make the stuff of directors’ dreams into reality.
When asked about what will happen when Apple inevitably updates the iPod Nano, as it has done six times already, Hurban said the prospect does not bother him, and he has no plans to change the magnets.
So this is another sample of a person, who has done significant changes to his body. He stands in a row with a ‘lippy girl’ Christina Ray, silicone girl from Sweden. Read our articles about them at:
