A London Startup Is Selling Permanent Stick-On Tattoos—and It Wants to Do Mail Order - Gizmodo
Today’s entry to the ranks of “technologies that are cool in a technical sense but also don’t seem like a particularly great idea” comes from London-based startup CipherX, which describes itself as “a biotech start-up pioneering the next generation of microneedle technology for high-impact products across lifestyle, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical markets.” If you’re wondering exactly what that means, it translates as follows: they’re selling permanent stick-on tattoos! The tattoos use the company’s proprietary “MicroDot Technology™ platform” and come in the form of little patches that are pressed onto your skin for 15 minutes.
