The technology, which is described on MIT's website and will be presented in full at a wearables symposium next month, is called DuoSkin. The researchers say you can design a circuit using any graphic software, stamp out the tattoo in gold leaf (which is conductive to electricity), and then apply other commodity materials and components that would make the tattoo interactive.

They should develop way for your body to recharge the batteries.

Your Honor, it wasn’t me who did it - someone hacked my tattoo.

[VanDeKoik]

Nope.

People are frigging lazy and foolish to use stuff like this.

I have now clue how the tattoo does anything or why you’d want it to but guessing it’d be an easy way to hack I and steal your whole life. You’re supposed to carry your credit cards in side a metal case so they aren’t scanned but this tattoo looks like advertisement for thieves.

But what do you do about the “Blue Rash of Death”?

[bk1000]

Because it’s soooo difficult to take your phone out of your pocket and mash the buttons. Seriously, there must be another intended use for this technology. And that part is a little scary

Or a way to recharge MY battery!

Of course. It “is” getting closer and closer. And with absolutely NO morals nor ethics in the national press corpse, there is not only nothing stopping it, there are millions of of people and billions of dollars and all the national forces PUSHING IT!

I see rather a “tattoo or embedded chip powered BY the person’s body heat, electrical potential, or remote wireless magentic field that “powers up” the embed. Then, when “they that be” decide some one no longer needs to be empowered/connected ....

Notice that anything that is connected, is something that can be identified in order to control something or pay for something else. In fact, anything that pays for something or controls something MUST BE able to be identified remotely, right?

And anything that can be identified remotely can be disconnected (turned off) remotely.

(And anything that can be turned off remotely that is connected to the controller, can turn the people off remotely, right?)

yeah I have a tattoo of my father’s name and my two deceased uncle’s name on a cross like wreath tattoo. I hope. God doesn’t get mad as it was a token of love and respect for them. all of them served in the US military during times of War. This however sounds insane

> They should develop way for your body to recharge the batteries.

I've read of research into such methods, using your body's motion and/or chemistry, but I don't know if any have been made practical yet.

Why not just use fingerprints?

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Well, I don’t see a 666 in that thing, but I’m probably not the best authority on that, since I don’t have a magic decoder ring.
