I am thinking something like magnetic tattoo ink. It would remove the touch/blockiness issues and be touching many more nerves.

Your immune system would try to collect and excrete all of them. This happens to tattoos. Soon your magnets would be allocated in your lymph nodes.

Would that be such a bad thing, assuming the magnets aren't toxic? Full body EM detection possibly.
