Braille 'tattoo' for blind people



idea
body modification which purpose is not just to decorate the skin but to be touched and read. opportunity for blind people to have a meaningful body alteration, but also something what could be used by those who live or work with blind people as a new attempt to their way of perceiving

.:

realization

implants creating embossed text in braille placed under skin, can be read by touch / stroke by blind people. it could be either bead-style implants (in this case the size of the beads should be a bit bigger than the standardized size of braille text. too small beads will sink in the muscles and they will not be embossed) or transdermal implants - placed partially below and partially above the skin

the implants are made of silicone (or surgical grade stainless steel /316L/ or titanium)

:.

get information while shaking hands

the implant could be placed on the hand - between thumb and forefinger, so that it could be read when shaking (or holding) hands
