Programmable Tattoo

http://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff/41/mo...shtml?cpg=128H


How many people do you know who regret their tattoo? You grow up, you dump (or get dumped), or maybe you picked a tattoo "artist" that learned their craft in prison using ballpoint pens and a sharpened paper clip. At that point, your choices are: deal with it, get it covered up, or get shot with lasers to take it off. And nobody wants to go for a job interview only to be given the evil eye because you're a little more inked than the current employees! Body modification discrimination is a sad fact of life.

More info through link.
this is an april fools joke
I wonder what they'll think of next for tattoos

Way to bite on their excellent April Fool's joke! I looked at it and knew immediately it was fake. Don't believe me? Click on the "Buy Now" button!

The dead giveaway is the other fake products at the bottom of the page under the caption "YOUR FELLOW SMART MASSES ALSO BOUGHT:" ... after all, who would think 'Canned Unicorn Meat' would be real?

SUCKERS!!!!

Someone posted that concept implant that was pretty much the same as this tattoo thing awhile ago.

There's also this:

Not a tattoo but the projection reminded me of the implants.

Highlight the space between "more info" and "I wonder"

Programmable tattoos would be great

Well, there is a request button for if you would like them to actually carry the product. ;-]
