Yeah, you have no idea how much I love that. No precise positioning or dicking around, even with several layers of clothes on.
I had fun messing with my coworkers’ brains the first few days when nobody knew I had that implant yet, and nobody knew what the stitches were for: I would walk to the break area with my sleeves rolled up and my cellphone in my hand, unlocked and muted, get a coffee from the machine, then put the cellphone face down on one of the stand-up bistro tables and lean on it with my wrist over the cellphone casual-like
Of course, my arm would start blinking. But I’d just carry on the discussion as if nothing was happening. It was immensely fun to watch their reaction: they kept on talking, but I could see their eyes fixing my arm, and their voices was slowly fading and the sentences were not getting finished. Eventually, one of them would politely point out that something mighty strange might be happening
After a couple of days, everybody knew. But it was fun while it lasted.
Heeeeeelll…
Okay, several weeks after I got my flexy in, I get the info that it would be possible to make it glow even more? Damnit! And if I get it right, you’ve got that glow powder in several colours as well - so, would it be possible to make it glow in other colours? Sound like… fun
And a way to spend way too much money, for me… I’m already thinking about getting a flexMT in some not-so-distant-future, I guess that would be possible with glow powder as well?
A little info about the amount of time something under the skin can actually glow - if I don’t wear long sleeves in the afternoon / evening, even when staying inside (no direct sunlight), my glowy Haworth implant keeps on glowing most of the night. Sometimes I wake up at 4 or 5 am, and it’s still visible.
Dang it… I had just settled on a deep blue LED with green glow resin. But now I’m hearing there could be other color options for glow resin? Which means I gotta take forever again to decide which color I’d want?
@amal what other options may there be for glow resin colors aside from green?
Other colors do exist but green is the brightest and other colors like blue or purple likely need UV to charge. Also I don’t actually have those colors of powder.
No, green is ~30 times brighter than the next closest. Its at least partly because of your eyes having the ability to see more shades of green than any other. Ever wondered why nightvision is green?
Ah… that makes sense. That’s fine, I’ll go with green then! But I wonder how the color will shift under my skin.
Looking at the shifting of purple and yellow FlexNExTs, I am assuming the deep blue with shift to a pretty purplish color, but I’m not sure about the green glow, I feel as if there will be differing factors for resin vs LED lights.
The thing is, flesh looks red because it lets reddish colors through and blocks shorter wavelengths of the spectrum - blues and greens. So while they’re brighter outside the body, they might appear dimmer inside.
Dimmer yes but your eyes are still significantly better at picking up those colours otherwise all implants would look redish where as the green and blue xsiids all look the color they are supposed to be (after healing).
Nearly half of Schneck’s subjects in their mid-70s and two-thirds in their mid-90s confused pale colors in the blue-green region of the spectrum with other pale colors. Blue and green become more difficult to tell apart than red, yellow and orange, which Schneck attributes largely to the yellowing of the lens.
Okay… so green glow powder. Fine with that
So, would a flexMT with green glowy stuff powered by light blue blinkies be possible? I might slowly have an idea what to use my titan discount code for…
That says nothing on actually seeing the led just says that they essentially develop a form of color blindness that makes the color differentiation more difficult.
Also I dont know of (correct me if im wrong) of 70 year old people implanting xleds or xsiid’s. Yes as we get older we will approach the age but I think for 80% of people contemplating colored leds under there skin they are going to want something vibrant.
Yes true but, if placed properly and fully healed, the skin itself is basically translucent. The amount of blood flowing in the skin is only through the tiniest capillaries, and ultimately it doesn’t typically block much of anything at any wavelength. Once you dive under the fascia, particularly into muscle issue, light has a serious hard time penetrating, especially certain wavelengths.
I’d take deep blue as well, wouldn’t be much of a problem, but light blue would be a tiny bit more fitting (since my flexNExT is already light blue). So if I’d like to have a flexMT with blinkies and glow powder, do I shop the standard one and just put a comment in or do I take a closer look to the “custom” section of the shop? Will do so in a few months at the earliest, but I love to be prepared
