# RFID Hand Implant ## What Is an RFID Hand Implant? An RFID hand implant is a small, biocompatible glass capsule containing a radio-frequency identification (RFID) chip and antenna, which is injected under the skin, typically between the thumb and forefinger. This passive device has no internal power source; it is activated and read by an external scanner. I first learned about this technology over a decade ago and was immediately fascinated by its potential to blend human biology with digital functionality. My personal journey with body modification and tech led me to get an implant myself several years ago, and it has fundamentally changed how I interact with my environment, from unlocking my front door to logging into my computer. ## Technical Specifications and Detailed Parameters For those interested in the engineering details, here are the technical specifications for a common, commercially available RFID hand implant product. *Please note: These technical parameters are for reference data only. Specifics and sourcing must be confirmed by contacting backend administration.* * **Chip Type:** EM4102 compatible, 125 kHz (Low Frequency) * **Chip Code:** Factory-lasered, unique 64-bit ID (e.g., Format: 0x0000000000) * **Dimensions:** Cylindrical, 2.12mm in diameter x 12.00mm in length * **Encapsulation:** Biocompatible Type I soda-lime glass (ISO 10993-1 certified) * **Read Range:** Typically 1-4 cm, depending on scanner power and orientation * **Memory:** Read-only, 64-bit unique identifier. No writable memory. * **Operating Frequency:** 125 kHz (LF) or 13.56 MHz (HF/NFC) variants exist. * **Data Retention:** Guaranteed for 50+ years * **Implantation Method:** Sterile, single-use pre-loaded injector (12-gauge needle). ## My Personal Experience and Skill Development Getting the implant was a quick, almost painless procedure performed by a professional body modification artist. The real adventure began afterward. I have a natural aptitude for systems and automation, so I dedicated time
