We will surely see a new wave of ink demands now that this augmented reality tattoo has hit the web. 'I Heart Chaos' user 'cranberryzero' was inspired to get this unique ink job done after his new Nintendo 3DS purchase, which boasts augmented reality games.
Basically, his augmented reality tattoo features a Nintendo augmented reality box that, when scanned, shows his little Nintendo 3DS Mii image popping out of his hand. Unfortunately, it does not work very well in very bright light such as sunlight, but the effect is pretty dramatic in dim lighting.
This Nintendo 3DS augmented reality tattoo was done by Colby at Blue Flame Tattoo in Raleigh, North Carolina. It's especially cool to see the results over video.
