If Magneto, the arch-nemesis of the X-Men, was a tattooed hipster, he might look a lot like this guy.

Dave Hurban, a tattoo artist from Newfield, N.J., surgically implanted four magnets into his wrist. Why? Basically, it's a cool (or at least unique) way to hold his iPod Nano in place without a pesky wristband.

You can check out the video of the process below. But be warned—there will be blood.

Wouldn't it also ruin credit cards with a magnetic strip? We don't use those anymore in Belgium (ours have a simple chip), but don't they still use those in the US?

I think that's cool. Wouldn't do it myself, but it looks awesome non the less.

That wouldn't get your name in the paper or into major blogs.

Good point. He's a bit of an attention whore.

Will be interesting trying to explain that to guards at an airport when he sets off the alarms.
