New tattoo technology can be switched on and off

Original: Tattoos you can turn on and off

Scientists have developed a chemistry-based technique that allows tattoos to be toggled on and off, according to a Live Science report on the technology. The trick relies on a chemical process that changes the visibility of the ink, suggesting body art that could be temporary or reversible. Details of how it works and whether it will reach real-world use are limited in the coverage.

Why now: The idea of reversible, switchable tattoos is a novel technology concept that has caught attention online.
