Forget watch bands, this guy uses magnet implants to carry his iPod

By , May 10, 2012

While we’ve seen several watch bands and other accessories made to ensure your iPod nano is with you at all times, we’ve never seen anything like this. Dave Hurban, of Newfield New Jersey carries his iPod with him via magnets in his arm.

That’s right, this Dynasty Tattoo tattoo artist had four powerful magnets implanted into his left arm to hold his late-generation iPod nano in place…

While we have to admit the end-result is sort of cool-looking, we can’t imagine that surgically installing foreign objects into your wrist is a good idea.

Not to mention, as a lot of other sites have pointed out, what is Hurban going to do if Apple changes the Nano’s design next time around?

      When the new model comes out, the current one will still look sick as shit on his arm.

      Yes, it will be so sad, specially since the magnets will stop working…

    The original title of the story on ‘You Bent My Wookie”: “iDermal – Because Some Apple Users Are Just That “Cool” — many adjectives come to mind to describe this guy, but “cool” definitely isn’t one of them…!

    I think it’s a sick idea. I wouldn’t do it cause I don’t like dermals but the underside of my wrist is tattooed so I never wear watch bands. Great idea

      My ex-girlfriend has 5 microdermals and she never once had an issue with airport security. As long as they are made out of titanium and not steel, he will have no issues with metal detectors.

    ugly…hate those style!!!!

    I must admit the end result looks pretty cool. I am not into nor do I have the $$ for dermal mods like that, but it is quite unique and actually functional. To quote a great mind: “That’s hot.” ;-)

    hi, begging for attention much?

    Why didn’t he implant them underneath the skin instead of cutting holes into his tattoo and leaving some basically open wounds in his wrist?
