This image has been going around the Internet for a few days, but thanks to Anime News Network, we now know who acquired these Pokémon balls subdermal implants. His name is Alex Finch, and he is a hardcore fan:
Finch spoke with ANN and stated that he has been a fan of the Pokémon videogame and anime franchise since he was in third or fourth grade, and that he chose to get six Poké Ball tattoos in reference to the number of Poké Balls which can be carried in the original videogames. He also noted that the tattoos shown are “just the beginning” as he plans to get additional tattoos of videogame, cartoon, and anime icons on the rest of the arm, including more Poké Balls.

Wolverine has his retractable claws, but real-life technology is catching up with comic book super heroes. Dvice lists eight awesome things you can implant into your body. If someone could have all of these, they would rival any pop culture super hero! Shown is a prosthetic speech implant, which can turn your thoughts into audible communication.
In the future: Turn a prosthetic speech implant up to 11 and you’ve got yourself a sonic scream, à la Banshee. Make it waterproof and you’re just as “super powered” as Aquaman Sammy “Squidboy” Paré. Special throat mics already allow for sub-vocal communication, but implants would take that a step further, perhaps facilitating the ability to speak where we normally wouldn’t be able to.
