Recently, the couple, who are in their mid-twenties, decided to implant magnets in their skin that bind them together when they hug or hold hands.
The 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 to her that we could connect them,” Sadie, a creator from Massachusetts, told What The Jam. “It made her eager to do it with me.
“The procedure was quick and involved creating a pocket with a needle, then sliding a magnet into the hole created.
“There weren't any stitches.”
The procedure was also fairly cheap; The duo paid just $1,000 to install both magnets.
“I use the implant almost daily to communicate with Hannah,” she said.
“Using or touching the magnets is not painful – and if anything happens, you might forget they are there.
“It's now also a fun party trick.”
In the clip shared on Instagram, the body modification artist who performed the installation holds a portion of skin on one of the duo's hands.
He then uses a needle to create the aforementioned pocket in the skin and wipes away a small patch of blood with a cotton ball.
The couple then shows that their hands are connected via magnets.
Since being posted on TikTok, the video has amassed more than 60,000 likes, as well as hundreds of comments from followers.
