Be one of the "cool" types who does it early... not a later copycat. Be the cutting edge... get your barcode tattoo today!

I've always wanted to have a barcode tattoo on the back of my neck. I don't know how the scanning system works but it would be cool if I could get it to read my name when it is scanned.

You'd have to get a very accurate tattoo artist to get the lines drawn correctly enough for a scanner to read them.

Just a thought.

Er... stop me if I'm wrong, but I had the impression than Jennifer didn't much care for her tattoo.

Yes, but that's because it was an indication of her success as the evilest of the evil (ad exec). The people getting them now are doing it to mock corporate excesses.

I think.

All tattoos fade. You can either get them touched up (refreshed) every few years or erased.

Problem with a close tatoo likea barcode is when thye fade they begin to fade towards eachother and close the lines together. you can only get it touched up so many times before it ends up being a blob. it's the same for all close detailed tattoos

I don't like the idea of tattoos. Or body piercings. I admit it, I don't like pain! It hurts me!

I only like pain when it's accompanied by an adrenaline rush. Like when I crashed my skateboard and got a roadrash this afternoon.
