If you’ve been longing to scan your own skin with a phone and get random images, now you can. Welcome to the future of tattoos. It’s not the first QR code tattoo, but it just might be the first “random tattoo”. Each time you scan the ink, you’ll get new videos, Tweets, and gifs and more. I hope this doesn’t mean people will get tattoos just so they can check the weather.
Check out the tattoo in action after the break.

I wonder what you get when you scan this pirate QR code? It had dammed well better be a GPS map to treasure.

For those of you who are not familiar, quick response code (QR) is a two-dimensional code that basically encrypts website information that can only be retrieved using a camera phone equipped with reader software. After scanning, the software will launch the encrypted URL, sending you to God-knows where to sell you God-knows what.
This particular scarf features a knitted QR code (which is cool enough) and a Space Invaders theme, Unfortunately, where the code is actually directing us is unclear. My guess is to the product page —which is where you should be heading right now if you want one. They are limited to only 500 scarves.
