Given the ubiquity of bar-code tatoos in the hipster community, is anyone considering getting a QR code. If so, what will you encode in it?
Of course, you should take care of choosing an iPhone-compatible QR code. No point in getting a code that cannot be decoded with a smartphone.

Android devs should have QR code for their apps tattooed on their arms.

I would be very curious about how accurate any barcode tattoo is, let alone a 2-D code. Other than that, this sounds like a very good idea for a lot of people. Linking oneself to the world physically by permanently marking oneself is a rather positive thing, I think, sort of the opposite of checking out.
