The Digital Tattoo interface.

Jim Mielke’s concept would be implanted beneath the skin on your arm. It then taps into your bloodstream, converting the oxygen and glucose into electric power. The display then “works” by changing the color of smart-ink pixels tattooed over the implant. It also acts as a touchscreen input device, so you could manage your cellphone calls by tapping on your arm. Most creepily, there’s potential for a 3G video call to be shown on your skin.

Technology like this makes me convinced on the theory of creating moving, animated or color changing tattoos. With ink that works off your blood sugar or pressure it would manipulate the image into whatever the designs purpose was. This is why I am saving my beauutiful face. Once this form of the art is underway I have no doubt in my mind about getting the whole right side of my forehead and cheek bones done.
