Electronic tattoo display runs on blood

[Datura]

The tattoo display: Waterproof and powered by pizza.

The basis of the 2x4-inch "Digital Tattoo Interface" is a Bluetooth device made of thin, flexible silicon and silicone. It´s inserted through a small incision as a tightly rolled tube, and then it unfurls beneath the skin to align between skin and muscle. Through the same incision, 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. After blood flows in from the artery to the fuel cell, it flows out again through the vein.

On both the top and bottom surfaces of the display is a matching matrix of field-producing pixels. The top surface also enables touch-screen control through the skin. Instead of ink, the display uses tiny microscopic spheres, somewhat similar to tattoo ink. A field-sensitive material in the spheres changes their color from clear to black, aligned with the matrix fields.

har-dee-har-har @ Datura

But you get the general idea

Think if they make cellphones small enough so you can have the earphone in your thumb, and the speaker in your pinky, then you won't have need for a bulky cellphone anymore

And you can dial numbers, send SMS'es etc via this tattoo pad.

now this would be interesting, i wonder how safe health wise this is

[Datura]

Probably as safe as a person who has breast implants and uses a cell phone is.

That is going to be mad fvckin painful for at least a week. Between skin and muscle, 2x4 inches...no thanks.

Not too sure what one is gonna control with the touch sensitivity as its not attached to anything.

Hmmm, I kinda missed that part. Then it might actually be worth some pain.
