Local tattoo artist implants RFID chip in student’s hand

Carlson is a freshman computer and electrical engineering double major at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. He said he’s not sure how he found out about RFID chip implants, but the idea came to him through the biohacking community. Biohackers are people interested in technology implants that make life more convenient. Carlson said he saw a YouTube video of a man who had implanted a full circuit board in his arm. He had built an app to read it, and project medical information such as his body temperature. Carlson said the app could predict when the man would get sick. The board looked 3 to 4 inches long and blinked beneath the skin.
