According to Cointelegraph and Bang Bang, University of Colorado researchers have developed tattoo ink made of photochromic microcapsules.
For many years, tattoos were thought to be a universal phenomenon on a worldwide scale, defying cultural changes and technological advancements. According to Cointelegraph, one of the tattoo artists seeks to combine the tattoo culture’s ethos with disruptive technology. Keith McCurdy is known in the tattoo business as “Bang Bang.”
Bang Bang, citing Cointelegraph, claimed that University of Colorado researchers have developed tattoo ink made of photochromic microcapsules. McCurdy emphasized how he saw technology as a means of bridging tattoo culture’s quest for uniqueness due to the rarity of non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The first rewritable tattoo was sold by McCurdy in June 2022 as a 1/1 NFT for 100 Ether (ETH),
In the future, our digital identity will be crucial. It could already hold a higher value than our bodily identity in the present. In the digital age, individualization and defining one’s identity are what we do best, and there are countless similarities and opportunities within, according to McCurdy.
Indelible, a firm that enables owners to leverage their IP rights by creating new tattoos and adding them to existing profile image (PFP) NFTs, is another organization that seeks to combine the tattoo community with Web3.0, according to information provided by Cointelegraph.
“NFT owners are always attempting to commercialize or use their IP in numerous ways. And we think applying renowned tattoo art to your IP is a pretty fascinating approach to monetizing it or even just having fun with it. Projects like these should be supported by all communities, and vice versa, because we are all benefiting from them. Since more people are learning about it, the more successful my project is, the more it benefits all the other projects, according to Mike Amoia, the creator of Indelible.
