Feb 20 2008Digital Tattoo Is Conceptual, Questionable

It sounds so professional until the very last line!!! hahaha

If it's powered by glucose then technically isn't it powered by pizza (among other things)?

"Hey! No cell phones in class, next time i see it i am keeping it!"

FAKE PHOTOSHOPPED!

I have one of these already implanted in my butt cheek it says:

ENTER

But, only when slapped.

oh that sounds great... until 6 months later when version two comes out and you're stuck with goddamn obsolete technology PERMANENTLY

Sorry to say, but I call fake. The arm muscles are really thick. This cannot be powered by pizza. This cannot be powered by blood. I hope they prove me wrong, but until then, it remains fake. Yes #4, that picture has clearly been shopped. The components are entirely too small to be a fully functioning cell phone. Where's the sim card go? So in essence: neat concept, but fake.

of course it's fake! it's conceptual, which means it's a concept, or idea. it hasn't been made yet. it would currently be possible to have it as just a display. you'd need a regular phone or something similar for the more complex electronics. possibly in the shape of a belt buckle, plus you would also need a blue tooth headset for it to work. fortunately there is work being done on molecular machines which would allow ultra slim computers like this to work.

sounds like another cancer causing agent (just like pretty much everything else in this world)

Obviously i know it is fake, i was being sarcastic.

Wooooooooosh

(PS that was the sound of my sarcasim flying really really fast over your head)

#10: I was agreeing with you, nothing more.

What if the thing gets damaged? Would it leak heavy metals into your blood? And what if you break your arm? Or it malfunctions? This sounds like one of the worst ideas ever.

Your tramp stamp is ringing...um, should I answer that for you?

Please.

Awesome, Trisha, just plain awesome...

how do you answer it ? do you put ur ear to ur arm :s lol

I really think that whoever thought of this did not intend the forearms to be used in any strenuous activity. What if you do karate and you smash your forearm to block a kick? Heck what if you just want to condition the forearm by continuously beating on it... hmmmm.....

ur all thinkin it, im just sayin it, GOVERNMENT MIND CONTROL DEVICE!!! its just like the cybermen on doctor who

ah that was designed and patented long ago...if they did their homework...they would have figured out that Philippe Starck alreayd conquered this one long ago...with a much more beautiful design...now we must also remember that this was even before he became an arbitrary designer that just knew how packaging the experience of Philippe could be profitable and easy...

THIS HAS BE DONE...AND MAY I SAY MUCH BETTER...As a matter of fact...I even did this one...and almost successfully completed it..its too bad the human body doesn't like artifacts placed that close to the skin...it just wants to push them out...and so it did...it was painful..!

Well that would match my jeans but it would be horribly awkward at a business lunch. Unless my business lunch is with Popeye.

"I have one of these already implanted in my butt cheek it says:

trisha, now does that mean enter where-ever one pleases, or just one specific location. i think you should specify, some might be confused.

Fantastique!!

Yes, it's fake, but it's an interesting concept. By the way, "The components are entirely too small to be a fully functioning cell phone. Where's the sim card go?"
You didn't read it completely. It wouldn't be an actual cell phone, it would be an accessory, as they said, a "Bluetooth device". Some PDA's (like the Palm TX) have the ability to use Bluetooth to dial a number on Bluetooth enabled cell phones, same idea.

However, as for it being inplanted, it wouldn't be under the muscle, read it again. It's between the skin and the muscles. Although, I doubt that as well, since skin is even thicker than they realize I suspect. I know this because I implanted an RFID tag under my skin. There's no way to see it visually. Implanting such a device under the skin wouldn't be easy and would require some real surgery, especially to attach the tubes to an artery and a vein. I would like to see this concept made though. I'd consider getting one if it was actually safe to implant.

The "Pizza"comments means it will run on whatever you run on.
The concept has very good medical potential and my guess is in the future everyone will have one of these because think about it everyone said a computer in your own home would be an incredibly bad idea and the internet will destroy the world (yes someone actually said that to me lol) but look at us now most people in the world couldn't function without a PC.
In years to come people without these will be seen as weird as someone without a PC or mobile phone is today

Cool idea but to work it would have to emit a fairly bright light. Def wouldn't look like a tat.
But what if you're diabetic and your blood sugar gets to low to operate the device... you couldn't even call 911 and you would go into a coma and die.

You'd want to read up on e ink Jonathan, it doesn't emit light. It would look like a tattoo only be a display. There could be a diabetic one that constantly monitored your blood sugar and even administered insulin automatically or called 911 if something happened like how onstar is alerted if your airbags go off in your car.

For the people who keep saying this is fake or photoshop your wrong. Ive allready seen main stream news media cover this on tv. Its very real. Its also on many tech websites / And computer information websites. You people should check your facts before you yell fake photoshop and make your self look like a fool

Hmmm, I really like the idea of a tattoo that can change and vanish again, whenever one wants. If you like body art, this is actually very cool. All one would need then is an external device that does the same thing as the implant. I am assuming here that simply pressing the device on the skin would be as effective as placing it underneath? Anyway, so you could have a tattoo that changes whenever you want it to.
Pretty cool and seeing what people spend on tattoos these days, there is definitely a market for that.

Pizza... as in food, may be? Energy?
This is freakin awesome you know... akthough I might be a bit freaked out to have something like that under my skin, and I do agree, at this technological age, it seems a bit too far fetched, but it's not impossible... soon, people, soon!!!
