You are just enabling him and the others, our job should be to guide them , or if necessary, to drag them out of the dark ages.

Yeah, youāre right. Itās called kerf and itās dependant on the optics the laser is passing though. 0.5mm sounds about right for the commercial CO2 lasers Iām familiar with in the 100W range, but to etch titanium directly without a ceramic intermediary the laser would have to be more than 1000W (probably closer to 5000W). For a big industrial laser like that I bet they can slim down the kerf a bit. That would basically be the minimum feature width (size of a pixel) but what Amal is referencing is the accuracy of the gantry the laser is on.
If you were trying to engrave a symbol like this, the tip of each point would have to be the 0.5mm, but the rest of the image would be accurate to 0.0254mm. I wouldnāt worry about it. Unless youāre trying to engrave a star field the kerf shouldnāt matter.
What are the chances of both sides being custom even if there is a surcharge?
So far I had been thinking about 2 sided pattern, so far I was thinking of having North and South respectively on each side. Not a big deal just curios if it is an option.

I think Iām trying to save my sanity by limiting it to just one sideā¦ but once I get the actual laser and start doing some testing we can explore options.

I am now rethinking my choice of 65!
Number 63 here, at least my plan of getting a titan or two to win the prize is now woid 
I want to garb one anyhow, as I should have done with the xGlow when I had the chance

Itās 65. This is blowing my mind.
5 Days left, 80ās are not out of the realm of possiblility.

Just thinking ahead a little bit (i know the delivery will still be a ways away) but what are the best resources to look at for procedure?
Iāve seen āThe complete guide to magnet implantsā by the thought emporium, but im wondering if thereās anything else. I just like to have as much info as i can especially since i donāt plan on going to a professional.
(dad is probably gonna say no to trying this so Iām probably gonna ask the other guy on my dorm floor who has a mag from steve haworth and said heād be willing to do mine if needed. or I could ask @Moonman0922 since I almost went with him for my next)
You can probably guess what I think of that.
The only thing Iād add to his guide is: wear masks.
fair point to add,
also ill explain a bit why im not going to a pro: i live in a location and life situation where the closest partner is way too far to travel to without a planned vacation there. and i dont know of any piercers in my area that might even consider it. if i looked hard enough i could probably find someone but between college and covid that would be pretty dang hard if not impossible. so im planning for the next best option
This might be a little off topic but
I would find it highly amusing if Justin from The Thought Emporium was a backer
