Magnets, how do they work?

Apologies for the ICP lyric, but it’s been a while since we’ve had a story about magnetic implants I couldn’t help myself.

Rata, from Rata Body Art Studio in Buenos Aires, recently spent a couple of months working in Florida as a guest artist.  On his last day in Florida, Pinhead and Johnny Vilonius decided to surprise him by giving him some magnetic implants as a parting gift.  Rata has had his work featured on ModBlog before a couple of times, but I believe this marks the first time that he’s been the subject of the photo, not the artist behind the work featured.

Thanks to Johnny for sending in the photos.  According to him the procedure only took 10 minutes, and he was on a plane back home the very next day.  The first image is of Rata looking at his fingers, and the second is of Pinhead inserting the magnets.

Gahhh, sorry once again for the late start, you lovely people. Here is some sage advice for anyone reading: Don’t move. Ever. Wherever you are, right this second, just plant yourself in that spot for however many years it takes until you are gifted with the sweet release of death. It will be worth it. Ha, depressing! Let’s cheer up with some nice, relaxing koi—or, at least, this fine cutting of some nice, relaxing koi by the very talented Rata.
