WTF?! Would you be willing to wear a stick-on facial tattoo that makes you look like a poor Cyberpunk 2077 cosplayer? You might be more tempted by the fact it's designed to show when your brain is overworked and you're at risk of making errors. Dr Nanshu Lu, an author of the research from the University of Texas at Austin, writes that the e-tattoo could be valuable for professions that require high levels of concentration for extended periods, such as air traffic controllers, vehicle drivers, p

Ever wondered exactly how much your job is stressing you out? Scientists have developed a temporary forehead tattoo that could one day give you the answer. Scientists at the University of Texas at Austin created the facial mood ring, a tattoo made of electronic ink that wirelessly measures and analyzes electrical signals from the brain and eyes. In a small study of human volunteers, the e-tattoo appeared capable of conveying when people were mentally taxed. The unobtrusive, relatively affordabl

What’s really happening under the laser during tattoo removal is much more complex and elegant than it literally sounds (and smells). These days, the best-in-class lasers for the procedure are five-to-six-figure picosecond laser machines, named for the duration of time it takes to heat the ink in your skin—picoseconds, or trillionths of a second. In that time, the laser targets the pigment in the ink, heating it to a temperature it cannot sustain. (If you point a calibrated picosecond laser at a

Your next tattoo might be riskier than currently assumed, recent research suggests. Scientists found evidence of a potential link between tattoo ink and a higher risk of certain cancers. Researchers at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) conducted the study, published this January in BMC Public Health. They compared twins, finding that those who got tattoos had a significantly higher risk of being diagnosed with skin cancer and lymphoma. More research is needed to understand whether this c

In a new paper published in the journal BMC Public Health, researchers from the University of Southern Denmark and Finland's University of Helsinki have found that among twins, tattooed individuals are roughly 1.62 times more likely to develop

In the case-control study, individual-level analysis resulted in a hazard of skin cancer that was 1.62 times higher among tattooed than non-tattooed participants (95% CI: 1.08–2.41). The twin-matched analysis of 14 twin pairs discordant for tattoo ink exposure and skin cancer shows HR = 1.33 (95% CI: 0.46–3.84). For both skin cancer and lymphoma, increased hazards were found for tattoos larger than the palm of a hand: HR = 2.37 (95% CI: 1.11–5.06) and HR = 2.73 (95% CI: 1.33–5.60), respectively.
