Do you think that in the near future, tattoos would be a very widely used bitcoin wallet??
Coz i've seen tattooos that are able to record sounds, so it won't be long till this thing becomes possible.
But would it be a good thing then? Or bad?? And would you even use it? Why and why not??

there are already people who have them. they forgot about that address reuse thing. that wasn't too clever.

and why would anyone choose to display a publicly accessible bank balance?

yeah if you hate your privacy then it can be possible. it would be like tattooing your bank account number on your skin with its balance written at the bottom. and not to mention the address reuse issue as my above comment pointed out.


do you have any links for that, it sounds impossible to me!

This is probably the biggest issue with using tattoo as a bitcoin wallet. It would be very unsecured to tattoo your private key obviously. I suppose it would be alright to tattoo your public key with QR code(if that's possible, idk) I think to make the transactions easier, in future if everyone is using BTC to buy everyday physical goods.

I am sure people would yet be doing it only to forget it. No I would never do it, or even recommend people to do it. It will lead to serious risk and if you loose your coins you won't be able to do anything.


Ya agree with you, and here your link in case you plan to do it.

Its actually insane and worth trying, I am waiting for it to get some more momentum.

But what i mean is something like a print that is only accessible for the wallet owner. Making himself his own bank.
And creditcard that cannot be hacked coz it doesn't use only the codes but is combined woth the dna of the person itself. see the idea?? Wouldn't that be great??

Do you mean like a QR Code with your address? Not my thing but I guess it's totally possible and based on the type of tattoo people do today, isn't that big deal. Just show your hand and receive payments. lol

There is also the possibility of deploying chips with bitcoin wallets on people's arm.

With gradual increase in its popularity and fair dealing with its current clients patronising it. I am sure people will use it. Even me this is the first time I an hearing about it and I am going to want to learn more which could even mean me part of the people that will be converted into using the service by virtue of the creation of this thread and I am sure other people can be brought in as well but steadily and gradually the future is getting stabilized.

Wouldn't it make more sense to carry that information on your phone with you? Encrypt your phone and have a 2FA on it so people cannot hack your phone. Someone can rip that tattoo off you and you better hope you have a backup

That its true, if your tatto rip off by someone who will restored your money if stolen? nobody.

Why would you want to use your body, if you can simply use your phone? How many people want to go through life with a Bitcoin Adress on their

body? What purpose will it serve? The only practical use I can see with this, is if a stripper tattoo her/his Bitcoin address on her/his ass...  :o

Imagine what will happen with that QR code, when you get older.  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Simply tattooing your Bitcoin address is a bad idea, but I think in the near future it will be possible to implant a chip under your skin that will serve as your Bitcoin wallet, so you will never lose it, unlike your mobile device. The only problem is some thiefs might decide to cut your body part to rob you  :'(
Or maybe in the future we'll have lots of different brain implants and we'll be able to just memorize our private keys and seeds and do all the necessarily cryptographic calculations, so our brains will become our wallets.

it's the same like they do with their address on facebook, at first no one could think that everyone was ok with showing his/her info to the internet, but it happened, as long as they don't show their private key they are safe, i can't see anything wrong about showing your address to receive payment, you can still have other hidden address with bigger amount

Privacy is the first thing in security most of us maintain in Bitcoin trading. If everything is displayed, then we need to maintain integrity as well. I don't think it is feasible to increase the burden on your shoulders by using any app/wallet/device that is vulnerable to leak your privacy or integrity since they all lead to losing situations.

Did you mean about the sound wave tattoo that if the phone would scan your tattoo then that would makes the sound of the tattoo, well this can be really a move forward or ahead for some, like getting a Barcode tattoo that let's you pay bitcoin with it is really possible because of the sensor help from your phone, I think it is really possible but a lot will not simply accept this because not all are very fond of tattoos, so I think people who are fond with tattoos can make a use of it.

If you loose your annomity then go for it but... this is quite stuppid if you dig into it.
People can scan your adress on street and rob you.
THey don't even make good research they just go take you in corner put gun to head and  you will give away you BTC.
I think that such tatoos are overrated.

You would become a target. They would torture you for the password. do not use! It has happened before.

That may be great, But the thing is, will people like it? There are still few people that use bitcoin, and even they created one, they will not be using those because no one needs a tatoo for that, I can use my android phone, why will I need to be tattooed, right? And having a bitcoin wallet makes it your own bank. You don't need to put the DNA on the topic, there are other kind of way to differentiate you from other people, like your finger print. And as you know, not only the technology are advancing, the hackers also advance too.

Would be much better for one to be robbed of his hardware or devices than to have ones body hacked  in search of Bitcoin, that could be safely locked away in some offline wallet. Some of the thing that attracts robbers is show off and that is exactly what displaying your Bitcoin wallet address on your body is likely to do.

It's possible to happen in the future. Another way would be to implant chips inside people for the same reason you are saying about tatoos.

I don't like the idea and I wouldn't use any of the methods. Thiefs could kidnap you to use your tatoo to have access to your accounts, or they could cut your skin to get your tatoo and use it.

And I think these two things (body and ID informations) must be separeted as it always was. It's a signal the man is being leaded to the greedy as body and financial reasons were fused in one place (your skin).

I think if you someone who is already into tattoos or the alternative scene then it would be great. How exactly does a tattoo record sounds ? Do you have a link to it ? It sounds very interesting and I would like to find out some more. I have never actually hesrd of it. The closest I have heard of was having a chip injected under your skin to scan for wallet transactions.


People can do these things to you anyway. If you have something valuable they will take it or threaten you so that is not really such a valid argument.

Phones can be lost easily, and as to the tattoooo thingy, if it is removed from you without due process then the code self locks. And if you die, the funds will immidiately go to your family or a certainperson you assigned it to or charity. Then if none, it will be donated to the government. It has big possibilities. Really big.

I dont think tattos is the solution it is better to let your someone who you trusted or loves one know it, it may hard to trust simeone but if you save a lot for them i think let them know it.

There are temporary tattoos which can be easily removed

So don't get surprised when you see a beach girl with seductive looks and sexy forms as well as a QR code tattooed on her ass. This way you can scan it with your smartphone (when she allegedly doesn't see you sneaking up on her), then send her a message via blockchain and likely tip her. If your tip is high enough, she may want more and you may get laid in the end (for a few satoshi). As the saying goes, when money talks, bullshit walks!

In the near future??
Bitcoin tattoos are already passe.  :)

LOL. Maybe everyone who uses bitcoin will have a bar code for bitcoin on his body. Maybe this is one of the developments of bitcoin. But, I'm sure, bitcoin will evolve from different directions, even though it's tattooed

This will only be another idea for the tattoo lovers but not for everyone. Afterall, we are advised not to recycle our addresses and change to new ones after we spent the balance.

Nice Body! it makes me want to give her my bitcoin, but in a Hightech and modernized era we are into I think this is not really possible and just like that tattoo a barcode address can be scan with your phone for transaction can be made that easy and convenient But I think not all will wear a tattoo to just make a transaction just like me, I am not against tattoo and I think it is simply a work of art but I just don't want my body to have some prints on it.

The only problem which i see is the security. The different themes like recording sound etc are attractive features, but the most important feature is the security of the wallet and if it is not secure, then no use of other features.

Yes, but I think that it will not have any special value. I wanted - I used a bitcoin, I wanted to - I used some other one.

That would be nice. If knowledge can be planted on my brains, wouldnt care anymore about going to school. Diplomas would be useless and the measurement for knowledge will be all about how expensive your implants are.

Do you mean printing private keys as tattoo in private parts  ;) Because I think that is the only part where the owner himself can only have access. But this can't be secure way to hold bitcoin because tattoo may get damaged over time and if any of the alphabet get erased from that tattoo, your bitcoin will be inaccessible.

What do you prefer, to have a part of your body cut or to have a "valuable thing" stolen? Nothing is more valuable than our physical integrity, you can take gold, diamonds from me, and I would complain less than if I would be mutilated.

For one, I don't want to have a tattoo and I don't like tattoo's. Number 2, some of the tattoo gets faded overtime so it will be unreadable even by a QR scan. I don't know if this is feasible really in the future to have your bitcoin address tattoo in your butt or whatever part of your body. So every time you create a new wallet, you have to go to a shop and have it tattooed.

You could do that, but the question is why, you can have a hardware wallet that can be gotten probably for cheaper than a tattoo and its a lot safer you can use different addresses, if someone wants to steal the wallet you can just handed over instead of a piece of your skin, so to me this does not seem very practical at all.

Printing your private keys on your private part might seem safe until someone gets the hint you are actually a walking ATM and your private part soon becomes public part. What exactly is the point wanting to use one's skin as storage medium when there are countless, cheaper and even more sophisticated storage devices begging to be used? 

Yes, you are right.

This just seems like one of those nonsense ideas​ that suddenly pop up out there driven by extravagant people.

I don't think the idea will work well, first of all it is not safe to let everyone know that you have a bitcoin, it may makes you become the criminal's target, and let say you tattoo it in your private area, then how are able to used it? if I want to keep my wallet safe I will choose different method not a tattoo in my skin and not implant anything in my skin

First of all, how will everyone know that? Unless you did it and post it on a social media, obviously, the one who did your tatoo will not say anything about it. You can always disguise that waklet into a normal tattoo right? And why will you do it on your private area? You are not that stupid to do that right? Obviously, how will you use that if you wil be putting it there?

why anyone likes to tattoo his body I just don't understand that I think it just damages their skin. it should not tell that you have bitcoin because you are likely to be the target of criminals and it's better for tattoo "need donate your bitcoin address".

That's not a brilliant idea. That's prone from crime. Just one point of a gun to you and that's it. You lost your btc. Its just like giving them free money. Keep them where you think its safe. Not on your body which can be see by prying eyes of bad guys. Maybe if you place the tattoo on your ass. That's definitely safe. Lol.

when people are talking about tattooing their bitcoin related stuff on themselves they are referring to a QR code representing their bitcoin address, it is not really the private key as you can see from the pictures that are posted. it is a weird idea but again many do so many weird stuff to themselves!

I had heard about those tattoos with sound, but I don't think that many people want to use something similar but with Bitcoin, because in the 21st century still are people with "taboos" about tattoos and if exist other options, simply they will take other options. As well maybe for the privacy. For many people Tattoos represent an expression, art way and I'm not sure that they want to bind it with Bitcoin. Besides is a method very invasive and just I wouldn't do it.

yes, its bad thinks, Unreasonable and insecure, fingerprint and retina safeguards might be translucent let alone using tattoos, that's the ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Tattoos also damage the skin and not good for health

I think it is a good option to have a tattoo with a bitcoin address in it because it will be easy for other people to send bitcoin to you because you will just show your tattoo and they will send some bitcoin to your wallet and i think some of the people here already did that kind of tattoo and it is cool for me.

I agree. It damages the skin and, even in some cases, can do great harm to the body. Now for many it's just a fashionable trend that can disappear in a few years.

In the near future of bitcoins is it will rapidly increased worldwide and it's value will be more than any precious thing like gold.

Clearly, you are just posting for activity and havent even read my post.
Unrelated comments are too much of an insult to anyone who posted a serious topic

I think everything would be more focused on transdermal nfc technology.
When you interact with the chip in a store, the system will notify your smartphone and authorize the transaction with Biometric security

That's why I prefer the system we have now since bad guys would steal the card rather than cut your body part to acquire that tattoo code or whatsoever or put a gun on your head to force you with draw rather than just grab your card or wallet as to where it is.

The point is we shouldn't exchange security with conveniency. We can produce a more convenient idea without lowering security.

There are already people out there running around with their address as a QR-code tattoo.
Not a very smart thing to doo if you ask me.
Everybody who scans it knows something about your financial situaton.
Besides... it was one of the basic ideas of bitcoin that a wallet can not be connected to an individual easily.
Wallet tattoos would exactly create such a connection, in a very permanent way.

Bitcoin has already moved passed the value of gold a long time back.So it is out of the window now.
@ OP I am hearing for the first time about tattoos that are able to record sounds, i am not a big tattoo fan but if you are planning to scribble that in your body make sure that people will scan your wallet and if they are able to get your password,then game over. :P  i think people wont be that stupid enough to do those kind of things.

In the near future of bitcoins is it will rapidly increased worldwide. But with the rapid development of bitcoin certainly accompanied by a higher risk as well.

Well I guess the idea that you are talking about is rather more stupid. Why shall things be tattooed on the body ?
The body is precious, in my opinion there is nothing more precious with a person than his own self, the body that the creator has given to you. There are a number of safe places present around for everyone, we just need to look for it.

Bitcoin  is showing nowadays what will happen in the future and when we look bitcoin price how is going up fastly ,its mean bitcoin future started and bitcoin future will stronger day by day .

I can't really see this taking off at this early stage.  There will be some that will do it but will probably regret it further down the line.  We have the chips under the skin also which some people have done, I just think we should leave our body alone at this stage.

If everyone or most of the bitcoin users makes it a practice to make a tattoo of the bitcoin address it is not cool. What if the person who is making a tattoo for you steals it and what if he/she makes it in use somehow and steals all your coins? I don’t consider it a serious option to be practiced.

Where would you put the tattoos? No, wait, I don't want to know. I think, there's a paradoxon between tattoos and private keys. You get tattoos to make important things visible so that you will remember them. But you have to keep your private keys private, more private than your... pen*s tattoo.

I doubt if the OP's suggestion will be feasible because nobody will like to display his/her financial details whether they are in Bitcoin or fiat currency. What if the tattoo suffer bruises in the long run?

Your should be aware of Bitcoin's history. Not a currency or "store of value". Risk no more than you can allow the CIA to steal as they will at a time of their election. Those of you that made profit do take some or at least fifty percent off the table. Nearly everyone now knows about the huge lag-time between when you want to sell and the much lower price that you are allowed to sell. Realize you have entered a far more risky gambling Ponzi scheme and this guy is laughing all the way to the exit door with your dollars and not Bitcoins. Bitcoin is not back by anything at all. Dollars and other currencies are backed by the assets of that country - their land, buildings, minerals, military assets, etc. Do be careful out there. I have lost respect for this man as he should warn people often about not betting the farm on any alt coin. When the lights go out - Bitcoin goes dark. Good luck and maybe you will not end up with nothing.

I think that will be pretty hilarious, when you are making payment for example at a restaurant or maybe in a fastfood chain, and you forget your money and decided to pay using your wallet, in which they will scan the QR code right? And they will be like, why are showing your pen*s to me, I ain't gonna suck on that.

We can just have a web wallet on moblie phone and use them, no need for tattoos and stuffs, and there are still many thing to put your code, not only the skin, maybe ballpen, bag, paper, shoe, even your bracelet or necklace.

I don't know about tattoo's, I wouldn't find it possible for some to record their BTC, security key or even a wallet implanted under the skin, just because of the many weaknesses, Also a wallet needs to be private so why share it and link it with others? (unless you are asking for donations or promoting something specific address to fund them).

Hey that's a great idea in order to have your hand cut off. There a nice business plan in that thought.

• 1st step you get the bitcoins.
• 2nd step you sell the hand/organ to the black market.

You are the perfect victim, 2 in 1. Some will thank you for the idea.

In the near future the bitcoin will spread in the whole world and all the people will know what bitcoin is and what the purpose of it is. I think in the near future all bank will accept bitcoin as deposit of their costumer also in convenience store will accept bitcoin as payment for there costumer.Lastly,the value of bitcoin will rapidly increase and some people use it in there business to gain more money.

In the near future, bitcoin will become one of the most important currencies or platform in the monetary world, day after day it's going on and move forward...

The concept would be nice, but the application of it wouldn't be so practical. You would be displaying your address, and I don't know, it's going to be seen by everyone. It's like the movie "In Time" with Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried. Where the concept of time is so valuable, and that would be awesome, and maybe it would be seen someday ;)

That is the total picture of it, it would really show your address to certain friends, relatives, or even enemies but they can not do anything without a Barcode reader or I think a finger print is a must have to totally secure your bitcoin, but I guess it is not so secure enough and in that movie lifespan is the money to give to a certain merchant, or people as money, I think bitcoin can be like that scanning out the bitcoin on certain barcode is something convenient, but out of the open it is really seen by other people so just like what I have said it is not secure because if you are sleeping, people might come up and scan your barcode and then bye bye bitcoin to you.

I have never seen any tattoos made that are able to record sounds, but in bitcoin condition we can do it as it is just needed the barcode and we can tattoo the barcode but it is not recommended as anyone can scan and use it.

it will be cool i think if someone that "old" already in case his backhand not getting bigger and get tattoo about his QR code, and other people when want to send bitcoin to him only need to scan his backhand  ;D

I don't think the thought will function admirably, above all else it is not sheltered to let everybody realize that you have a bitcoin, it might makes you turned into the criminal's objective, and let say you tattoo it in your private zone, then how can utilized it? in the event that I need to guard my wallet I will pick diverse strategy not a tattoo in my skin and not embed anything in my skin

Perhaps in my opinion sebaiknyaa tattos is a better solution to let you someone you trust or loved one know that Your death, ka, dana will immediately go to your family or Your assigned for certainperson or charity. Then if it does not exist, it will be donated to the Government

Why not? People save sounds on their hands, why can't we keep money on ours? :D

How about adding a chip under your skin? I have seen on TV that a man has a chip on his hand and he uses his hand to pay for almost everything as he is the miner farm boss

Why should we use our skin instead of our phones? We are now having a smartphone that is more convenient to pay for everything we want

Have you ever thought about that some one cut off your hands to steal money instead of rob your real wallet?

So we have to scan the QR code in the order to have sex with her or something? lol

In the near future of bitcoins is it will rapidly increased worldwide. But with the rapid development of bitcoin certainly accompanied by a higher risk as well.

I absolutely do not understand anything about what you are saying here lol. What does tattoo relate to bitcoin?

I don't understand about bitcoin equations with tattoos? Can you explain what is tattoos?   8)

  Do you really think it's a good option? A tattoo with bitcoin's wallet address ensures there is discrepancy when performing tattoos. And every time you make a transaction, will you send a photo of your tattoo to someone else? On the other hand, tattoos that go through time are still clear enough to be able to scan the QR code? Actually I do not appreciate this idea even though it is very creative.

Everything is difficult to predict, and the future seems very bright, bitcoin everyone never thought if the price can go up double in just 2 weeks, and now all eyes fixed to the bitcoin.

I heard about this, in my opinion this is extreme and I would never do something similar.
This is same like barcodes on people necks, some people are ready to do go too far. This is just one more evidence tat this society is going in a wrong way, there is so many good ways to store bitcoins, I don't get how can someone choose this one.

LOL, what a great tattoo, I’m not an expert in tattoos or anything but making a tattoo like that will require amazing precision it isn’t? And any mistake will not allow the QR code to match your address so it seems there is a lot that could go wrong with a tattoo like that.

Image removed for your safety

I don't think it requires any specific precision (within reasonable limits, of course) since smartphones are expected to read it in pretty harsh conditions, therefore QR codes should have a good allowance for errors (squares remain squares). In fact, I don't really know but I see how bar codes are scanned at a cashier's counter, and sometimes it is fascinating how they can be successfully read at all. I'm more curious whether anyone actually tried to scan the QR code on the photo and what info they managed to extract. Is it a real Bitcoin wallet and what is its balance (just curious)?

This gave bitcoin a very good publicity among people. In front of skeptics many people just earned a fortune. And many changed their attitude to the cryptocurrency
In the near future, I want to see even greater growth in bitcoin prices

I can strongly predict that,  bitcoin will cover the whole world in 15 years,  if you look at the rate of acceleration of bitcoin then you can realize about the future of bitcoin. So I believe that, in future it will be a global currency.
Many private sectors allow bitcoin as a payment tool, not only that but also many countries have already allowed it.so it's easy to forecast that bitcoin will dominate in the monetary system.

I guess in the near future all people in the world will know what is bitcoin and how its work. I think some people will use it in their business to get more income. In the near future the price of bitcoin will rapidly increase and all bitcoin would be happy because of that.Laslty, In the near future I guess in any kind of transaction the bitcoin will accept as payment of their costumer.

It's definitely possible that tattoos can serve such a purpose in future but I'm also skeptical if this will be feasible in the long run because an accident or burns and any loss of a part of the body means you're going o loose your bitcoins too and that to me will be a double blow  to handle.
