Even the tattoo world is modernizing and could save lives.

Although the truth is that it is not the same type of tattoo, which we are used to. We are talking about a new tattoo model with a technological cut.

The characteristics of this version of the art of pigmenting the skin are: it is temporary, the ink used conducts electricity, with which electronic circuits are drawn on the skin in which sensors of various types are integrated.

The result is an electronic device incorporated into the human body through the skin, and which some believe could transform medicine.

"Instead of going to the doctor once a year to get an annual check-up, this technological tattoo could be something that you carry on your body and that monitors your constants and sends the data to your doctor," explains Eric Schneider of the Chaotic Moon design, responsible for this invention.

So far these tattoos have been able to track body temperature, which serves to warn when someone has a fever. Soon other tattoos with more biosensors could warn of some diseases in real time.

At the moment it is only a test project, but the creators claim that when it is for sale it is so cheap that it can be purchased as a box of bandages or bandages.
