THE FUTURE IS HERE: LED TATTOOS

This is crazy cool. LED tattoos are the future of tattooing around the world. Yes I said LED.
LED Tattoos or a light-emitting diode tattoo is a type of body modification similar to a tattoo, but specifically involves implantation of technologically based materials versus traditional ink injection into the layers of the skin. LED tattoos are accomplished by a combination of silicon-silk technology and a miniature lighting device known as a light-emitting diode. While there is potential for many applications in the medical, commercial and personal domains, the technology is still in the development stage.
