Scanable Barcode Tattoo

Scannable Barcode Tattoos -The barcode tattoo as a statement against society rivaled the popularity of misinterpreted Kanji in the nineties, but one artist is bringing it back as a way to connect people's online lives with their fleshy ones. Or at least offer another way to market your blog. And ya know, I don't think it's such a bad idea.Tattoo artist Levi Smith of The Jade Monkey Tattoo in Phoenix, Arizona has been tattooing quick response code [QR code] -- which is similar to a barcode -- on eager clients. The codes can then be scanned by smartphones (there's an app for that) and lead to your website, Facebook page or eHarmony dating profile. The possibilities are vast.

Users with a camera phone equipped with the correct reader application can scan the image of the QR Code to display text, contact information, connect to a wireless network, or open a web page in the phone's browser.
This act of linking from physical world objects is known as a hardlink or physical world hyperlinks.

Although QR Codes have been around for 17 years, they are only now surfacing in more places because of the explosion of smartphones.Droids, iPhones, BlackBerries and others are equipped with apps to scan QR Codes and launch their information. Since smartphones now significantly outsell traditional cell phones, the QR Code, though not new,
has far more utility than it did even a few months ago.

The options are only limited by our imaginations --
and our abilities to adjust and keep up as quickly as the technology changes.

If it weren't such a serious topic, it would almost be funny!

I am not a fan. I cannot believe all the hype and enthusiasm for tatoos these days.

Barcode Tattoo

The barcode tattoo is one tattoo that not only looks great as a fashion statement,
but also holds a lot of symbolism. Learn here about the meaning of this tattoo,...
-
Unlike other tattoo designs that are mostly popular because of the way they look, barcode tattoos have
come into style for another reason apart from their appearance. There is a strong, underlying meaning
that is a collective expression of the youth, rather than a symbol of personal expression. The barcode
tattoo design is a symbol of rebellion by the masses against materialism. People get these tattoos to
signify that just like everything is commercialized, every product has a price, soon human beings will turn
into products; particularly so because human beings have lost touch with their roots, their culture, and
their traditions. They have lost their original identity, and the only way to get this unique identity
is by means of a barcode, used to give every product a unique identity. The barcode tattoo then,
has become one of the most meaningful tattoos that is now sported by the youth.

Apart from this rebellion, these tattoos are also increasingly becoming popular because of the way
in which they have been depicted in movies and books. Fictitious characters have sported such tattoos
for different reasons, mostly as a symbol of human cataloging. Whatever the reason, barcode tattoos
have found their place among the youth, and are here to stay.
