Soundwave tattoos are tattoo designs created from audio clips.[1][2] The tattoos can be scanned and played back via a smartphone app which translates the tattoo's wavelengths into sound.[3] The process was pioneered by an augumented reality app Skin Motion developed by Nate Siggard in 2017.[4][5]

Process

  • A 5 to 30 second sound is recorded which could be a message or any sound at all.
  • A sound wave is created out of it using various software and printed on paper.
  • The print is inked it on the client's body line by line.
  • After inking, the picture of the sound wave is uploaded to the internet.
  • People can use a sound wave app to scan and hear the audio message in it.[6][7]

Uses

People have used sound wave tattoos to preserve the voices of their loved ones (deceased and alive)[3][8] or pets.[9]
