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]

Uses
