Sachiko Kodama's "Morpho Tower": "This work is conceptualized as an "organic tower." The magnetic fluid, with a smooth black surface that seems to draw you in, reaches the top of the tower, spreading like a fractal, defying gravity. The form and texture of the physical surface of the tower constantly alter between the hard iron core and the changing form of soft fluid. This is a dynamic sculpture, with reactable fluid surface".

    January 6th, 2009 at 09:45:50 Depending on size, 2 to three, and since it would be staining, no needles! Kinda like Henna tats. I am still looking heavily into it.

    January 6th, 2009 at 10:08:49 hmm..so i ould like two or three tattoos before its toxic..SWEET>...and better blood flow..thats an added plus...and i want a tat which changes color due to magnetic zones

    January 6th, 2009 at 10:31:48 Ok, from my research, I have found that this would NOT be immediately toxic. Seems that repeated or prolonged expsposure, (especially by someone with a faulty immune system) can possibly be harmful. But the principle of the odd benefits/attractions could be a sound theory. The blood flow benefits of magnetism applied to the body are indeed proven. And the astehtic value is a neat thought!

    January 6th, 2009 at 10:54:47 tell me what you find..at least wat info that pertains to bodily usage of this product..im immensely curious
  8. PISHACHI Says:
    January 6th, 2009 at 11:17:46 I wonder how the magnetism may benifit the body as well?? Maybe it is possible that certain designs with the fluid would be beneficial to blood flow? All in all, the prospect is worth looking into.. and I am.

    January 6th, 2009 at 11:40:45 it may..although it would be less permanent and also extremely magnetic..or so i would assume....

    January 6th, 2009 at 12:03:44 I wonder if this could be applied to a "safer" tattoo alternative...

  16. Haley Says:
    January 6th, 2009 at 14:21:38 yes..somewhat if you touch it, your skin is permanently stained black until the layers of skin that are stained are pealed off

    January 6th, 2009 at 14:44:37 this could make a pretty insane christmas tree
  18. Dukinea Says:
    January 6th, 2009 at 15:07:36 Are Ferrofluids safe to touch? But, from 1:10 to 2:45, it really looks like some kind of morphin' drill.

  20. Sherif Says:
    January 6th, 2009 at 15:53:34 maybe the metal under or maybe in the sculpture not sure
  21. MACGHILLE-BHUIDHE Says:
    January 6th, 2009 at 16:16:33 Does anybody know where is the magnet? is it an electromagnet or just a common one?
  22. Cayden Says:
    January 6th, 2009 at 16:39:32 Yeah it does, if thehunjo2 ate it he'd die.

    January 6th, 2009 at 17:02:31 Monkeys throw magic feces. That's how.
  24. Bemelle Says:
    January 6th, 2009 at 17:25:30 1:29 ZOMG!!!
  25. OTTAVIA Says:
    January 6th, 2009 at 17:48:29 I agree Shadow, I don't believe in magic either since it's not "super natural" it's just parts of nature we haven't mapped fully. Most scientists reject the area completely, preventing any real research from being done without being ostracized.
