Body Art of the Day

Minimalism may have reached a new extreme -- New Jersey body piercer Dave Hurban recently implanted magnets into his own forearm so he won't have to bother with a watchband while running with his iPod Nano. "Those magnets are actually called micro-dermal anchors, and in body piercing they are very common," he says. "The tops are actually just 5-millimeter magnetic tops." And when Apple updates the Nano? No matter -- "I did it because I'm living in the now." (Heads up -- bloody.) [theaggregate]
