Dan Hazelton’s Spiderman Tattoo Tears It Up

geektattoo_main.jpg
Call us nerds, but this Spiderman tattoo done by Milwaukee, WI-based artist Dan Hazelton is one of the dopest things we’ve seen in a long time. Thanks to his expert design, it looks as if the subject’s skin is being torn away to reveal Spidey’s costume. We probably wouldn’t commit to something like that on our own chest, but we’re glad someone did—you know, for the art.

While Hazelton is a season tattoo artist who does a variety of designs, he’s also done some similarly geeky tats featuring Batman and Sonic The Hedgehog. Check out some more of his creations after the jump.

Change Your Tattoos To Match Your Mood

At the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, researchers have come up with a “programmable tattoo” concept that could someday let you switch your tattoos with a wireless internet connection. This technology uses hair-sized nanotubes embedded in the skin to display an image of your choice. The two main suggested uses are displaying an icon on your cheek that tells everyone your mood, and displaying reminders on your palm to replace the traditionally sloppy pen-to-hand note taking.

Philips is also working on a similar project called SKIN:Tattoo, where your tattoos could respond to senses, like a woman’s touch. After the jump, watch a video example.
