CharlieVideo game companies are getting more and more on board with augmented reality, even more so since the release of Pokemon Go in 2016.
Thinking outside the box, Olo Sabandija created a tattoo of a nes controller which he can use to play Sonic The Hedghog on his arm. As crazy as that seems, Sabandija explained that, in theory, he could make a video game fully playable with this idea, though movements and navigations will be limited according to the four-way directional D-pad video game control.
Sabandija plans to launch a website in January to cater to the enquiries about his tattoo. Check out a demonstration of it in action below.

Holy shit! thanks for the response.
A lot of people is asking for AR tattoos, let's do something, DM me our email, and I'll contact you once I got things figured out, because I'll need to make a list of certified tattoo artists and figure out the costs and that kind of stuff. https://t.co/Tch4Z0x9dy— Olo Sabandija (@olomerol) November 20, 2018
Thanks
I wanted an AR tattoo since around 2010, but I lacked the tools/knowledge. I met a guy with an AR tattoo in a game jam who gave me some tips.
and after that it was about a month of sketches, tutorials, design ideas, 3D modelling, texturing, animating and coding.— Olo Sabandija (@olomerol) November 20, 2018
