NANO TECHNOLOGY IS REVOLUTIONIZING TATTOO INDUSTRY
These days tattoos are meant to decorate bodies and have significant meaning, but this is going to change. Being frequently connected with criminals or artists, body inking was a taboo. Now it can become help for people who are having health issues by diagnosing problems and reacting quickly.
The first technology I will write about, are nano-tattoos. They are available to show us when we have to use sunscreen on our body during the activity of the sun. It helps with avoiding the skin cancer, by showing the solar freckles on our body when the protection is disappearing. Tattoos prevents skin cancer and unhealthy burns, also it is making life easier. New inking technology is based on UV activated dye and because of this, tattoos are reacting with light. Dye is based on biosensors which are responding to liquid variations between cells.
There are many ways of using this novelty. Ink can be dependent on chemical reactions happening in our body, like PH level, glucose and many more. For example it can detect different body temperatures without using a thermometer and reveal them by specific colours, dedicated for the level of temperature. But one of the most revolutionary aspects is using nano-tattoos in cardiology. Human skin cannot conduct electricity, so specialists are working on tattoos, which are able to do it. It has got connection with heart issues. The pacemaker’s battery must be changed every 5-10 years, but when our body gains the ability of running power, the issue with pacemaker is going to be solved. The other, also important problem with diabetes can be figured out. The meter for measuring level of sugar in the blood won’t be necessary.
Tattoo controlling sugar level
Our technology world is ready to change the perception of tattoos, by making them a tool for helping many people with chronic diseases from tragedy. Also this new tech can make our life a lot of easier and more comfortable. The traditional, decorative meaning of tattoos is going to be replaced by more health related side.

Wow it sounds really futuristic. I never thought about so many tech posibilities with tatoos. Especially the example with running electricity is very useful in my opinion.
The biggest issue with tattoos, personally, is pain. If one can eliminate that the demand for tattoos will skyrocket! Can’t wait to get one done with this tech!
As far as it will help to control health condition and to combine an aesthetics, idea is great! However, from my personal point of view, regular medical examinations is the best option ever, and the safest one. I would do either normal tattoo and to examine myself regularly or will do this nano tattoo because of the advice from my doctor.
I think this is a very good idea, since tattoos can not only be used as decoration for the body, but also can help health. However, this is not suitable for everyone, for example, some people cannot get tattoos due to the low pain threshold.
I’ve never heard about this technology before and I need to say that is sounds very interesting. Making something practical while keeping it good looking will definitely attract more people to it.
