Magic Ink is a lab developed technology that allows tattoos to change on demand from their original form in your skin.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 20px;\">This \u2018skin-tech\u2019 tattooing originally came from scientists in the Atlas Institute at the University of Colorado who were working to help solve the issue that we as humans are unable to detect the presence of UV light, and incorporating ink with biomedical benefits to alert wearers of dangerous UV.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 20px;\">\u201cAs an artist I realized an interesting thought: Let\u2019s take this further and create a variable in tattooing that\u2019s never existed before,\u201d Bang shared with Blockster.<\/p>\n<p>IMAGE<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 20px;\">By creating an encapsulated UV dosimeter, a dye is able to react to UV light in a bio-safe capsule, which allows for the tattooed image in your skin to change over and over, painlessly and instantly using light to turn it on and off.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 20px;\">\u201cIt really looks like magic,\u201d says the tattoo artist. \u201cSo when I found this, the name just kind of came out organically and \u2018Magic Ink\u2019 stuck.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 20px;\">As an artist at the forefront of innovation, it was only fitting for BANG to use Magic Ink to redefine the age-old tattoo industry and turn the first of its kind into an NFT.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 20px;\">\u201cWe realized NFTs with utility have incredible value and a historical value that\u2019s just starting,\u201d the artist told Blockster, who believes that NFT technology is going to start a new era in tattooing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 20px;\">The 1\/1 Magic Ink tattoo NFT sold for 100 ETH (about $150,000 at the time of this writing), making it the most expensive tattoo ever sold. The holder of the Magic Ink NFT is entitled to receive the first Magic Ink tattoo by Bang himself, and is credited as the first tattoo enthusiast in the world to own a rewritable tattoo.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 20px;\">\u201cThe owner of that very first one is credited with being the person that\u2019s helping us bring [Magic Ink] from the lab to the world,\u201d shares Bang, who tells Blockster he hasn\u2019t made the tattoo yet but is excited to do so soon. \u201cIt really is a marker in history for change in tattooing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 20px;\">The NFT also includes a visual art piece by Bang, which is another first of its kind. \u201cI\u2019ve actually never made tangible art before or even digital art other than a tattoo in my career,\u201d Bang explains. \u201cAll of my work one day will fade away, so I think there\u2019s a little bit of interest there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Bang believes that everything will live on the blockchain one day, and he and his team are currently discussing the real-world and digital overlap of how consumers can one day own a digital proof point attached to their physical BANG BANG tattoo.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 20px;\">And as far as Magic Ink goes, Bang tells Blockster that tattoo fans are already stopping him on the street asking about this elusive new tattoo technology. \u201cPeople hear the idea of a rewritable tattoo and they\u2019re not clear on how it works. It\u2019s confusing because it doesn\u2019t exist\u2026 until now.\u201d As a veteran artist and leader in the industry, Bang had seen it all, until Magic Ink. \u201cIt made me completely change my career and focus on this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 20px;\">To hear more about the Magic Ink tattoo technology and NFT, watch Blockster\u2019s full interview with Bang here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When we get a tattoo, we assume it&#39;s yours.
