In the near future,...

[hawthelegend]

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??

[European Central Bank]

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?

[Sniper44]

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.

[hawthelegend]

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??

[TryNinja]

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.

[Kprawn]

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... 

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

[hatshepsut93]

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

[davidmccoy]

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.

[YuginKadoya]

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.

[SwagGirl]

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.

[mrcash02]

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).
