    The first pic is probably a nfc/rfid chip. They are glass pill sized implants that often go in the thumb meat because it is accesible in your hand and safer between the bones. Their thumb is probably just bent over and relaxed to help with the process

      Both pics are magnetic implants, the first is used on the only other language article:

      https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Implantation_eines_zylindrischen_Magnet.png

      Biohacker Mrln implants a commercially available biomagnet

      Based on the other images, the side of your hand seems to be a popular location for magnets too:

      Also, the latter image is probably the result of the first operation image (in my other comment) because the subtitle says:

      Multiple subdermal magnets implanted by bioacker Mrln [sic]

      But what is a little weird is that the magnet seems to be on the “wrong” side. I think the first operation image is just misleading.

      Edit:

      The upper image (in this comment) is also by Mrln. Apparently they installed a lot of magnets.

        Huh, so it is. Thats a ton of magnets. I wonder why so many… i guess even more sensitive probably

        Thats also a super common spot for the nfc ones too, for the the stated reasons. Have a friend that got it done recently and loves it. Its been making me consider it but i have no real use for that sort of thing yet
