If anyone wants to have a spine down your arm, there is a procedure that is done by body modification / tattoo artists. Seems a bit painful. But here is what the end result looks like.

The person that got the arm spine had this to say..

Now this sounds really extreme and not very pleasent. Getting tissue to spread in order to insert the implant... OUCH.

The tearing was the longest part of the procedure. Steve first went in with a thin tool, just to create channels. Slowly, the width of the tools he uses increased, which caused the channels to expand until they merge together. Eventually, a tool resembling a golf club was inserted, to insure that all incisions resulted in proper tissue separation. Troublesome tissue was separated with a special V-shaped tool. The tool had dull sides, and a sharp edge on the inside, Some tissue is rather tightly stuck together, but sometimes, as was the case with the bottom half of my right arm spine, the elevators just spread the layers like a knife cutting through butter.

I had 8 Teflon hemispheres put into my right outer forearm, in a straight line from my elbow to my wrist. The incision was made halfway between the elbow and the wrist, and elevators were used to separate the skin all the way from the incision to the elbow, and up to my wrist. The incision was made like this so the elevator could reach all the way down to the ends of the arm, and still only use one incision. Going from the incision to the elbow was just like a knife going through warm butter. Separating from the incision to the wrist was a bit more problematic, but not too much of a deal. I think this is my best looking implant. It looks just like another spine, only it's on my arm.
