Bar Code Tattoos
(05 January 2007) - Today Needled traces barcode tattoos back to their heyday in the 90's when they were common protests of consumer culture. In this time of more restraint (and more consumerism?), the concept is available in temporary form, allowing you to mark yourself with barcodes that read SLAVE, FOR SALE and SCAN ME. Not only are they an impermanent and painless way to make a bold...

Reset Design Tattoo
(09 November 2006) - Needled today directs us to the Parisian site Reset Design's project that tasked designers with reinventing tattoos.

Needled: Docteur Gecko
