"Waterproof and powered by pizza."

In keeping with my super advanced understanding of trends; may I present the next gen medium for display and Bluetooth technology. Our Skin! Jim Mielke’s Core77 and the brand new electronic tattoo display are here and now! Her Digital Tattoo Interface is a display the size of 2×4 inch which also acts as a Bluetooth device made of thin, flexible silicon and silicone. It is inserted through a small incision beneath the skin and muscle. Two small tubes on the device are attached to an artery and a vein to allow the blood to flow to a coin-sized blood fuel cell that converts glucose and oxygen to electricity. Think about what this technology could mean for the future of tattooing? I want a full body sleeve so I can further embellish the social mores public cell phone use violates.
