QR Code Tattoo
We have seen QR Code transfer tattoos at the Tokyo Game Show but Liam O’Toole Manchester based “voice talent” has one for real. The QR Code tattoo decodes to “thevoice66″.

Yes it is real … and I think it is a brilliant tattoo .. but I would say that as it is me!
Thats cool. How long did it take to do that? Any tips to make sure it goes on properly?
Looks great and a cool idea. But what happens if the ink runs and the image blurs like you see in so many old guys tatoos? How sharp do these codes have to be for the readers to recognise whats written?
You can generate QR Codes with a higher Error correction rate so they will be more resilient and easier to read.
The problem is that I don’t think they do well on curved surfaces and I wonder how well it can be read from his arm. Maybe if it is smaller. I can’t scan the QRCode on his arm.
I make Temporary QR Code Tattoos for fun, and they actually scan. The barcode image has to be in focus and well lit to scan properly.
