Skin-Based Display Screens From Nanotech Tattoos

[robyrob]

so, if you've ever considered getting a tattoo, this may be the tattoo worth waiting for:

"Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York is
developing flexible nanotubes inserted under the skin to create [1]a
handheld display — inside your hand. They wirelessly receive data and
display reminders and text messages, and the concept has also been
broadened to suggest endlessly [2]programmable digital tattoos, while
Netherlands-based Royal Philips Electronics is also exploring the concept
of [3]the body as 'a platform for electronics and interactive skin
technologies'."

imagine being able to change your girl's name in your tattoo without all that painful retouching!! ...and you could use it to instantly mimic facial hair or Gene's Simmon's Demon makeup!

or rent your face out as advertising space for Ford or Coke!
