Your 3DS AR Card Tattoo Doesn't Have to Last Forever

Hey, I'm with you, the AR cards bundled with the 3DS are damn cool. I'm not down with making one of 'em permanent on your arm, but Tiny Cartridge found someone who pointed out the obvious: make them temporary. Tumblr user Super Jezmeralda simply drew the AR cards on his arm---and it worked.    

I, wha?

awesome

Until someone permanently tattoos that on their face I'm NOT INTERESTED!

Neat, I guess. At least if you're dumb enough to draw on yourself. 

Heh, someone should paint one on their forehead. Then get the AR card that creates a penis. 

gotta love good technology :-D

ok, thats pretty cool.

It's amazing it actually works.

I still think the guy who got one tattooed onto his arm is a legend!

kool

haha wow that is crazy... and yet kind of cool.

Thats cool in a really sad way.

I used an image of an AR Card on an iPad and it works just as good.

Its pretty rad that that actually works.

I'm surprised that this isn't an Alex post. 

Awesome!

That's kind of mindblowing.

You do wonder if, as a civilization, we may have peaked too soon ...

That's impressive

  Not gonna lie, that would be awesome.  "

Forget markers get a real tattoo of one of those those AR cards.

I am glad someone finally figured out that tattooing it your body only needs to be a last resort to carry Kirby around on your arm forever. 

Amazing stuff. Crazy how they still work with the 3DS.

SNIFF THE MARKERS!

Thats awesome it works 

Why is this a news story?

I like you, Patrick, but: This is a Kotaku article.

Huh, so there isn't anything really special about the cards themselves.  Interesting. 

" Why is this a news story? "

It seems the natives are getting restless. They want their news hard hitting. I thought it was cool.

I'm still happy with the T-shirt. Really cool though.

Ah, I missed seeing all of the "OH GOD WHY IS NEWSS STOP MAKEN ME REED DIS" comments from Kotaku. Good to know the bitching is in full force here as well.

sick

Wow sort of crazy that actually worked.

Criticism =/= bitching.

pretty sneaky sis

EXACTLY what I was thinkin! "

If you don't like it, don't read it. So much whining.

" I still think the guy who got one tattooed onto his arm is a complete idiot! "

Why didn't he put Kirby in his hand, so he could squish him and pretend to be a god?

Awesome

Do they animate or are they just little statues?  Kinda neat, love AR stuff...

How about that...
