I installed a dermal anchor a while ago and had to wait for it to heal. But I took a flat titanium disc top, mixed up some resin with glow powder, and dabbed the top of the disc with it. Took about a day to cure all the way, but this glow powder charges really fast just with the light from my phone’s flashlight and lasts a good long while. Really adds a little something to my circuit board tattoo, I think. So if you’re starved for glow and blinks, you too can become even more of a living science experiment!

That looks neat. I’d worry about friction on the microdermal (fear of ripping it out 
) since an arm is often in contact with a variety of things in everyday life. For how long have you had it?

A few months. Original top was just a flat disc and this only adds an additional mm of height. I’ve never snagged it, but when I first did it I banged it against a chair the next day lol. Kinda hurt. I’m also not in a line of work where snagging or anything is a risk and if I’m out doing stuff or cleaning my house I toss a bandaid over it.

I’ve considered something similar but not for lighting purposes:

That’s insanely cool. Those anchors are gigantic!

In the book Meet Tommy, someone heavily modified (extensive tattoos and implants, + custom hollow glass implants with small rocks moving freely inside
which he calls “clickers”) claimed to have inserted a thin gold plate under his skin. Not too shallow to prevent rejection and not too deep so the gold would still shine when reflecting light.
I don’t know how striking the effect is (if real), but I imagine it would look neat over your circuit traces
