A couple who have a mutual love for body modifications have shared their latest addition that celebrates their connection – quite literally.
Sadie Riendeau and her fiancée Hannah Hansman have a number of piercings, tattoos, and body alterations.
Most recently, the pair, who are in their mid-twenties, decided to get magnets implanted into their skin that link together when they hug or hold hands.

Their romantic body accessory has gone viral online with over 2.4 million views.
“Hannah was nervous but it didn’t take much convincing at all when I explained that we could connect them to one another,” Sadie, a content creator from Massachusetts, US, told What’s The Jam.
“It made her eager to do it with me.
“The procedure was quick and involved a needle creating a pocket, and then the magnet slid into the hole created.
“There wasn’t any stitches involved.”

The procedure was also fairly cheap; the duo paid just £796 (USD 1,000) to install both magnets.
She said: “I use the implant almost daily to link to Hannah.
“The magnets aren’t painful to use or to the touch; if anything, you could forget it’s there.

“It’s also now like a fun party trick.”
In the clip shared on Instagram, the body modification artist who performed the installation holds up a bit of skin on one of the duo’s hands.
He then uses a needle to create the aforementioned pocket in the skin and blots away a small bit of blood with a cotton ball.
The couple then show their hands connecting via the magnet.
Since posting it on TikTok, the video has gathered over 60,000 likes, as well as hundreds of comments from followers.
Kai commented: “That makes me be sick a bit in my mouth. The senSATIONNNNNNN.”
Another user added: “Something pulling from inside my skin I could never.”
