This is totally making me want to get my own but I feel like my hand is way too skinny and bony and it would be very visible
What do you use yours for?

Could always double down and get a tattoo or a subdermal over it. Draw attention to it, make it part of the art

Mine is too, you can tell how visible it is from the pictures. It’s easy for someone to notice it but personally I don’t mind.
Not too much other than the leds. I have my medical info and a youtube music link on the nfc (when someone asks what it’s for and I scan it, it plays the song I feel good (James Brown) and that’s hilarious). I haven’t played with the LF Side yet, I might use it to turn on my pc or something
Lol I don’t think I’d go that far, might make it hard to get a job.
Not like mine, you can easily see the veins and tendons in my hand
Exactly my long-term plans 
But could anyone pleeeease develop a wearable to light them up permanently? Or at least with an on/off-switch of some kind? And with an awesome range, so that I can wear it around my neck (for example) and it lights up all my future LEDs from head to toe? Pretty please?
Sadly, that’s still true in many cases… I’ve had a lot of discussions considering visible piercings… had to take everything out when I started my apprenticeship 15 years ago. By now, I got on their nerves so much that I have 16 piercings in my face again (including the ears and a non-visible tongue piercing) 
I’m working on that…
Nope, definitely impossible unless you are willing to wear a 3kg belt or wires everywhere and a huge battery pack
Hmmmm… I might integrate that into my styling… 
Nah, I knew this was absolutely impossible as of now, just something I’d like to have^^
Now that sounds interesting…
Like a smart watch? I’m sure you’d be able to program one or make an app to do this
Yeah especially if you’re in a “professional” field. Although I used to work in the government and there was one guy that had some visible tattoos but nothing to extreme but he’s been working there for years so he might have gotten them afterwards.
It just depends. I worked for the government (at NASA, once upon a time), and I straight up went to my interview with an eyebrow piercing, exposed tattoos, and my size 0 plug in my ear. Still was hired, wore it every day I worked there, and was never told anything. Butttttt, I think that has more to do with the fact that I was an engineer there and not a bureaucrat or someone who would ever have the chance to show up on TV 
At my current job, same deal with more piercings and tattoos, and I even openly talked about my implants during my interview. Your mileage will absolutely vary greatly depending on where you’re wanting to work and what you want to do there.

Yeah that’s basically the issue anywhere and just depends on the person that interviews you so I’d rather not lower my chances especially since I’m aiming to get back in the government but in a different branch and I’ll most definitely have to wear business casual regardless

Totally…
I currently work in retail, so I have a lot of contact to customers and all that - but I think it’s ridiculous to think that my look really makes a difference, as long as I look neat and clean. I mean, people buy their stuff in our shop, and some may like the way I look while others don’t - that happens to me as well, and I still buy things in shops where the employees don’t meet my personal aesthetics

Well maybe piercings and tattoos are a plus if you’re gonna work at hot topic or something like that lol
Would definitely be easier
But I work at an organic store… don’t know if there is an equivalent in the US, maybe something like whole foods? Dunno^^
I get it, I just don’t see it that way. If I ultimately want to do something to my body (whether it’s because I think it’s cool, or it looks good, or just because I like it), I’m going to do so abashedly. I don’t want to work at a place that is going to look at me weird because I have a few facial piercings or use my totally voluntary implant to open the door instead of my badge, so I like going into interviews being completely open and honest about who I am and what I value as such. If they don’t like it, cool, I wouldn’t like working for them anyway.
For the record, this very much stems from my time working for the government. Even though the people that I worked around were a joy, the management and ultimately the environment I was in proved to be toxic to my well-being, and I vowed never to work for a company where I was going to have to hide who I was again after that.
Absolutely. I was bartending before my current gig, and I had the same approach. You can’t cater to every single customer’s liking - it’s just plain untenable. So either you try to go for a stoic and just bland middle ground, or you let your employees be themselves and generate interest/business by empowering those that work for you. Obviously, you can tell which method I prefer lol

oh yeah I agree completely, it’s your body so you can do whatever you want to it. For me it’s not really the jobs preventing me from doing what I want but the fact that I’m indecisive and don’t really care about stuff like that. like I’d get a tattoo I think is really cool then in a few months I’ll change my mind about it. I used to have a few piercings when I was in highschool but I broke my lip piercing because I was always playing with it and biting it and never bothered to replace it.
I look more at the utility of body mods now like implants and magnets

Fine, I guess I’ll have to make an awesome thing. Twist my arm. leumas95 has been really busy lately, or it would already be tested. I’ll take another look. I don’t know if we’re going to get full body range at 13.56MHz, though. Might need multiple devices around your body. 125kHz would work better

I’d be totally fine with that - neck, wrists, belt, ankles… hell, I could even integrate something in a hairpiece
