Programmable Tattoo System

What do you do when you want a tattoo but don’t want the commitment of permanent ink? The moodInq system is a breakthrough in tattoo technology, using a skin-safe proprietary E ink encapsulated pigment system that lasts a lifetime but can be configured to display any design (or none!) to suit your mood.

So how does it work? We have partnered with leading physicians and technicians in the cosmetic surgery industry to implant the E ink grid, called a canvas. The canvas can go anywhere on your body and be configured to the size and shape of the body party you’d like to ink. After a short healing period (usually 2-3 days), you can begin using the moodInq software included with your kit to change your canvas to display the tattoo you desire! Found on ThinkGeek.

In a year or two this shit is going to be animated and it’s going to be fucking creepy.

As an aside, I think the main point behind tattoos is the commitment involved in getting something permanently etched in your skin. From what I’ve seen, most of the time tattoos carry a lot of emotional weight with the person who has them. If you can change it on a whim or make it go away I think that it looses a lot of its significance.

Also, some weekend you’re going to wake up hungover and your friends will have programmed a dick onto your arm and hidden your machine. Just saying.

THIS. i’m sorry, but this is some dumb shit.
