Barcode Tattoo

Used primarily at inventory control and price checking that operates by using an optical scanner to read a series of vertical lines on a production most of the department stores.

Barcode Tattoo is not meant to be a tattoo design because it looks ironic. Wearing a barcode tattoo mey be a warning that if we are not careful as a culture, we are all in danger of becoming products ourselves. A barcode tattoo is also a protest against a culture where it seems that everyone wears the same clothes, listens to the same music and uses the same products. A barcode tattoo is a statement against a culture of commodities and a celebration of diversity and the uniqueness of the individual.
