Hurban documented the cringe-worthy process on video, naming the project “iDermal.” (Warning: it's a bit graphic.)Inserting magents into one’s body isn’t as odd as one might think, insisted Hurban.

He told the tech website that the magnets, called micro-dermal anchors, are quite common in body piercing."I took the ends of magnets and actually adhered them to the back of the iPod, and that's how they click into my skin," he told Digital Trends.

Hurban said he can swing his arm and go for a run without the device falling off.An iPod-ready arm could be just beginning of a new trend of physically integrating humans and technology .

In March, Nokia issued patents for "vibrating tattoos" that alert a person when they're getting a phone call or text message, Yahoo News reported.Hurban is just glad he was the first to think of the idea, he told Digital Trends. "I actually am the inventor of the strapless watch."
