Take a fashionable item like the flash tattoo and upgrade it to a smart tattoo and you get DuoSkin. With sleek wearables on the market including: Samsung’s Gear 2 and smart clothing, the brand ElektroCouture and collaborations we saw at this year’s Met Gala, Manus x Machina, the move towards wearable teach is now. DuoSkin aims to create a bridge with art and technology.
Flash tattoos have become quintessential festival body art and brands such as Melody Eshani and Karruche Tran’s line, K-INK Collection produce some of the most sought after designs. The smart tattoo; also known as on skin user interface - DuoSkin includes various motifs like bohemian and geometric aesthetics in popular gold leaf.
These tattoos act as a NCF signal, which allows you to connect directly with your device, including input devices that can turn your skin into a trackpad. The tattoos can also display output, changing color based on your body temp like a Hypercolor T-shirt.

While smart tattoos will become available on the market, DuoSkin is also looking to bring this tech directly to your home, DIY smart tattoos anyone?
