Tattoos of the future...

     Tattoos have come a long way from doing each tattoo by hand and taking hours or even days to complete a small tattoo.  Our society depends on the advancement of technology and this is where the hand held machine to tattoo comes into place.  But, the real question is...what is the future of tattoos?  If the technology and people of our society have come up with these amazing advancements thus far, what can they do in the upcoming years?

 Well, Nokia recently patented a magnetic material that can be "tattooed" on your skin.  It would supposedly vibrate when you get an incoming call/text.  This is very helpful to those who always have their phones on silient or even those who are hearing impaired.  The image to the right it how Nokia envisions this material to work on the average humans skin.  You think that's crazy?  Researchers have developed a medical tattoo to monitor glucose levels as they rise and fall.  And, lastly tattoos don't necessarily have to be on your skin.  In the future, dentists have created a tattoo that can monitor the bacterial levels in your mouth.  Tattoos on the skin is scary enough, but putting dentistry and tattoos together is pretty risky.



         In my opinion, these ideas are so innovative and fascinating.  The upcoming generations want new and unique ideas to play with and make better.  According to National Science Foundation, scientists at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and Northwestern University an electronic tattoo that bends with body tissue and is able to sense brain wave activity, muscle movement, and heart actitivy is already in the works for the near future.  Big things are going to happen...
