Title: First Bitcoin QR Code Tattoo?!
Post by: bitcoindirect on December 16, 2013, 12:12:13 AM
I decided to do it!  Got what appears to be, according to my search, and correct me if I'm wrong....the first Bitcoin QR Code/Payment Address tattoo!  It's on my left forearm, here's a upclose pic on paper bitcoin money, for some reason I can't scan it when it's on the comp and resized, so I included the actual digital QR Code that we took it from!

I know there will be haters, but honestly I've already gotten compliments from people who don't know what it is!  Soon I will have LIBERTAS * AEQUITAS * VERITAS placed around it.  Any donations to add to it are greatly accepted and appreciated!  The shop that did it was one of my clients, www.fastlanetattoos.com (http://www.fastlanetattoos.com) who I talked into accepting bitcoin a couple weeks ago!


Any other suggestions are appreciated as well!

Yea I'm def not beating the Bitcoin Logo tat, and I don't think anyone would want me to place that anywhere near where those pics are....I think I would gain money for people asking me to take it down! lol.  But the ones on the faces, don't they look transparent and temporary?

I do know some girl got one as a tramp stamp.  I was just informed that here recently.  But non the less, to the growth and acceptance of bitcoins!  Thanks to some I have actually gained some tips to add to the next portion of it.  But truly the fact that people ask me about it already and are now gaining awareness of what Bitcoin is, is the real reason.

Thanks for the response thou!

It'd be cool if it actually scans in real life. Does it?

Yea unfortunately the placement requires me to pull my skin back, and that was before it scabbed. Now i'm waiting til it heals cause the scabbing made it thicker.  Thanks for the reply!!

If I can figure out how to have it redirect to a different address each time then we are legitimately talking future times of cryptography!  But I def agree with you, thanks for the input!!

Haha you are crazy.

Why thank you!  I'm always down for a challenge, a bet, or being original!  I even tried setting up a challenge that if I got tipped $250 worth that I would add the mascot from Reddit to it lol, really I'd rather TUX the penguin around it...maybe both lol.

Haha, that's cool!

I would personally never take that plunge, but I admire you for it!

Good luck getting "tips" with it...


Title: Re: First Bitcoin QR Code Tattoo?!
Post by: bitcoindirect on December 18, 2013, 03:44:02 AM
Appreciate it, I didn't do it for tips thou.  I just placed that out there because that's what the QR Code has embedded in it.  It's for a currency, and can be used to send money with that currency.  So why not place it out there for all to know! lol.  That kid who wound up getting 24gs for holding up a sign on ESPN didn't permanently setup his code lol.

What are you going to do if you lose the private key?

I think he would simply have an X tattooed over his current QR code and have a new QR code tattooed on his other arm.

Cool! I do hope you have the private key somewhere safe... or maybe you have it tattooed somewhere, too.

It will be just like having an ex gf's name tatted...X, and add the next one! lol jk.  Would never do that in the first place.  But yes private key is saved elsewhere.  And honestly it has just brought up conversation on what it goes to.  It's plan was awareness and to add some love to the BTC community.  It will work perfect to setup on my half sleever!

Was going to send you a few mBTC but can't scan either pic of your tattoo. Not going to do it from your posted QR code pic.

How much have you received in donations?


Title: Re: First Bitcoin QR Code Tattoo?!
Post by: bitcoindirect on February 28, 2014, 05:56:38 PM
At the time it was $20, apparently being a guy doesn't get me as many tips.  And yes your right we had to wait til it healed so I can get it touched up for scanning.  That's why I had both pics on there

just curious, how much did you earn from donations on this? :D

You just quoted how much in donations I received....and even at the food store today I got another compliment and asked what it meant.  How it looks on me is a personal like, the fact that it goes to a bitcoin address and people ask allows me to educated those people who would have never known about it.  Thanks

Some girl did one I found out, but the tramp stamp area.  I guess my ass nor tat will ever compare to a girls.  People would tip me to not show it! lol
