I have a few people interested in getting RFID or NFC implants into their hands, to play with or have for convinient access control and other uses.
The goal of the class is to go over questions about implanting RFID or NFC tags in your hands, any risks, and some benefits.
I would like to get a group of people that want to buy a kit and we can go to a professional body piercing/modification place to have them done.
Dangerous things has programmable NFC tags
And also RFID 125khz EM4202 that works with the Dallas Makerspace RFID door readers.
@william_petefish has both NFC and RFID tags in his hands, so I hope to have him answer some questions about the process.
I haven’t scheduled the class yet. It most likely will be the Saturday after Open House. I will schedule a time with a body piecing professional so that we can get them done, I can include the cost of the kit with a class so I can pre-order the kits if you want. That might be limited to 5 people, so I am just asking if anyone is interested.
I know there are a lot of people that thing the government or hackers will track them, etc but this is completely up to you, I think it is pretty awesome to have a programmable access code conveniently implanted in my hand. It makes a cool party trick as well.
It may be interesting to find out whether an implanted RFID chip will create problems going through customs at the airport along the lines of what a war veteran with shrapnel in his body deals with at metal detectors.
I’ve been through airports a few times with an implanted tag without incident. It’s my understanding that even the handheld detectors won’t pick it up, but I’m not a fan of interrogation or body cavity searches so I never asked them to scan my hand despite being a bit curious.
I was actually wondering about the RFID system they may or may not be using to read the chip in passports, not your chip setting off a metal detector. Perhaps the passport chip works on a different frequency?.
Hi my name is Ryan Mills and I believe I’m the one who implanted @william_petefishs NFC and RFID tags. Im a body modification artist in Addison at skin art gallery and have been implanting tags, magnets, silicon and other materials for years. Id be happy to answer any questions you might have.
Hey Ryan, William mentioned you did the implant. I was actually hoping to see if you would be available to do the implants. I was hoping maybe a few other people would like to come and watch.
I am going to schedule the class the Saturday after so - September 19th.
Once it’s approved, an eventbrite ticket will be created but I’m still trying to get an estimated price for the kits so I can pre-order them if you want to do an implant, else it will just be free to watch and ask questions.
There is 5 tickets available, The $80 covers an RFID kit (or NFC kit let me know) and the fee for @feengerz THE EVENTBRITE CLOSES ON SEPT 4TH so I can pre-order the kits.
Again this is completely up to you, if you don’t want to buy a kit you can still come to the class to ask questions and watch or just play with RFID stuff (I’m probably going to order a reader and lock kit)
If you want a NFC tag you can buy that separately and we can implant that one too. I want an NFC but I think I’ll wait to see how the RFID does. PM me if you want me to order something else from the dangerousthings.com site.
Hey guys, I had to bail while y’all went to Tanner. Let me know if you get what we’re looking for out of that shield. Fun class. Thanks, Ryan for the work, and thanks, Mitch for organizing.
Oh also. These may be of interest. Programmable RFID, much smaller form factor (14g injector!) The guy had to order in bulk to get the chip he wanted, so he’s now selling them on his website.
I guess my forehead is always an option.
