3x6 just seems so wild to me. Wow, glad you were able to get it out!
I know, I know.
Would you mind telling us your hand size?
Because that magnet was almost the size of a xG3 O_o
Thanks for the write up I love the install idea what type of tapers did they use? Imma look for some tools 
They looked like these
The two sizes he used look like the ones at 10 if this picture were a clock face

I’ll have to show you on my right because my left is kind of fucked up right now. The length of the final segment of my ring finger is approximately 25mm
Here’s some pics of the removed parylene coated magnet. Not as bad as I thought, but still not great. Luckily it all came out in one piece.
You can see some stress cracking, some bubbling, and a whole bunch of surface pitting.
While it hadn’t yet “failed” as dramatically as my first magnet, it definitely left some loose parylene and Nickel floating around in my system. I may have a mild allergic reaction to nickel (it’s pretty common), which could serve as an early warning sign for magnet failures.

I have that same set of verniers! (though yours are in slightly better nick), I think our hands are very similarly sized which gives me hope for a finger pad install. I was nervous about the thickness of the titan, but this has put that to rest.
Good luck with the healing, and congrats on your new titan!

idea:alrght, lets whip out our calipers and show off sizes!
My calipers are too smol
Bow chikka bow wow
Healing update about 45 hours after install. No more leaking so that’s good. Getting a bit of maceration so I decided to take the bandages off for a few hours.
You can see on the right (ring finger) in addition to the removal incision there’s also a bunch of old scar tissue from the three other times this finger has been cut open. Hopefully this will be the last finger magnet for me 
. Only oddity is this weird sensation when I curl or uncurl my middle finger with the magnet. I know it’s just skin shifting around the magnet, but it sure feels like it’s bouncing around in there all loose like gumball

Day 6 of recovery. Things are coming along nicely. The removal finger is basically sorted. The Titan install finger still has some bruising and swelling, and I can still feel it loose jangling around in there. It’s weird. I have confidence in this install method, but be prepared to be careful with that finger for at least a week if you want to maintain the positioning.
To alleviate some the fluid buildup ithritin recommended a baking soda poultice, so on the third day I tried it and it actually helped. I put a solid cocaine snort worth of baking soda on a regular band-aid pad, a few drops of water, wrapped it around the finger and wrapped that with a bit of self adhesive compression bandage and left that on for about 5 hours. It could be a variety of factors but it got me through the worst of the swelling and the previous fluid retention volume has not returned. I thought it was some homeopathic bullshit but meh, give it a try.

Is that a metric or “standard” snort worth ? 
off topic
Depends on how you measure your pinky nail.
Picture unrelated.
Fuckin A, that was my first magnet. Never doing that again. It ssssuuuuuccccckkkkkeeeddddd
Other then being extremely painful?
It was a needle install so the placement was pretty meh, but it didn’t reject so I guess it went fine. It was only 3mm x 1mm
Wow, thats small^
