Still not sure exactly why, but i have been considering a tatto for a few months. However I don’t get the traditional tattoo artworks, gothic imagery, skulls, names etc etc.
So the hunt was on for something different, original and most of all very me.
Thought about various electronic references, ohms law, resonant frequency or Q formulas, but a bit to obscure for main stream people.
So along came bar codes, plenty of forums later, I started to look at standard type 39 barcodes, but to get something meaningful in, and have a chance of it scanning, it would need to be VERY long
So 2D barcodes had to be considered, QR Code seems to be the current 2D format that most people recognise, and is supported by plenty of moble phone scanners.
Still has to be quite large to scan, but it just had to be done.
After 2.5 hours sat in a Gloucester tattoo studio, I now have a QR Code Tattoo, best of all it scans too!
Though i am not sure if Greg will ever do another QR Code.

My shonky old Nokia seems to be having trouble scanning a QR on anything but perfect black & white after a firmware upgrade. What’s the data?
Got it to scan now, off a brighter, sharper monitor.
