Would You Pay Using A Techno-Tattoo?

Paying by contactless card or even your phone may soon be obsolete when this new tech innovation arrives – temporary tattoos that use a conductive ink to create a personal circuit board on your skin.

Whilst it can have payment uses, a more valuable application could be around health – as the circuits can be used to monitor blood pressure, stress levels, heart rate etc and then transmit the information wirelessly to a mobile app or computer. A clear benefit would be that, although temporary, the tattoos would be able to monitor continuously and easily, whereas current fitness trackers need to be taken off and actual medical equipment tends to be cumbersome.
