Two nerds bullshitting about augmented reality tattoos.
Pablos: I don’t know if this exists, but AR tattoos should totally be a thing. and this is just I think there’s a couple different embodiments for this, but basically there should just be an app where you aim it at anybody and they can set their own tattoos on, right?
So like if I hold up my phone and I aim it at you, I can see the tattoos that you put on your bod, right? On my phone or goggles or whatever you got. But it would just be a thing where like the, it’s kind of like, augmented reality, being able to put stuff in spatial positioning.
But instead of the real estate being like, Pokemon go, the real estate is people. And so all people would become a surface area for this. And then I could, you could have two versions, of this could be like, one is like I put tattoos on and whoever’s using the app would see my tattoos.
And so you could imagine this going off at like Coachella or whatever. And the other version is, I put tattoos on you. And if you want to see what other tattoos people put on you, you get the app and start looking at your head, arms. I don’t know. I think there’s something there. it can’t be that hard to build.
Ash: It’s like, what is it? 19 crimes What was that? That,
Pablos: 19 crimes. Oh yeah, the wine with the AR. Yeah, and you could have
Ash: It was all really
Pablos: cool animated ones like that. Yeah.
Ash: Yeah, you just, it knows it’s in there and then that’s it. Boom.
Pablos: Yeah, it doesn’t have to be QR codes. Nobody needs to get a QR code tattooed on themselves. Like you can,
Ash: No, actually, you don’t have to do anything. You can make all the tattoos virtual. You could just have the face recognition kick in and it knows
Pablos: all virtual,
Ash: you come with tattoos.
Pablos: But it only works on skin, so you still have to like, lift up your shirt or peel down your pants in order to show off your tattoos, even though they’re virtual.
Ash: So it only works on like, instead of it says, “I love mom”, now you can but this is a better version of a temporary tattoo. What you do is you buy real estate.
Pablos: Yeah,
Ash: Like, what would you like to buy on your thing? The
Pablos: Exactly.
Ash: funny thing is,
Pablos: exactly
Ash: it’d be even better if you could do settings, right?
Pablos: You’re selling people real estate on their own body, exactly.
Ash: Like that’s beyond the metaverse, right? So now
Pablos: This is
Ash: from selling you completely fake land to “I’m gonna allow you to sell your own body parts”
Pablos: You have to buy your own body parts.
Ash: You have to buy your own body part.
Pablos: Oh yeah. You could, we could also put pepsi logos on you and charge and you make money.
Ash: Hundred. That’s the thing, some logos could be free, but you could earn.
Pablos: But then what you would do is like at Coachella, you’d have a big screen that was just running 24/7 and anybody who walks by, it would show their virtual tattoos on that screen. So people would hang out in front of the screen to show tattoos.
Ash: I
definitely want some, I definitely want some ACL, some access control lists on this, where, the access control list does the following: what I’d love to do is like, “Friends”, and it sends a smiley face and it just flips the bird, it’s like “Enemy”, they scan you and it’s just, a
Pablos: Oh yeah. Right. Oh, they’re interactive. Or what you could do is you could build this whole thing where it’s, all the real estate on all the bodies is up for sale at the beginning. Anybody can buy it where you auction it off, right? Like you auction off space, but the, but you don’t necessarily own your own body, right?
You don’t like, I might be able to just put tattoos on you, whether you like it or not. Cause I bought that space. And if you want in,
Ash: Well, I mean,
Pablos: you have to bid against me.
Ash: so this is good, right? Cause this is not human trafficking,
Pablos: It could be dynamic too.
Ash: No one is just selling piece of skin.
Pablos: Yeah, we’re just overlaying on the skin and you could basically make it so that I’m there until I get outbid?
Like I pay a dollar a month to put a tattoo on your shoulder. And as soon as somebody else shows up with $2 a month they win. And so you’re constantly incentivized
Ash: Oh, wait, you think that people could auction like
Pablos: Yeah.
Ash: Google AdWords, but you can like
Pablos: Yeah, there you go. It’s AdWords for bodies.
Ash: AdWords for body
Pablos: We can totally sell this to Meta.
Ash: Now you got to surge price it. This is it. I mean, you saw the fiasco at Wendy’s. Now we’re going to just say “Listen, Pablos’ skin has surged there’s…”
Pablos: yes.
Ash: in his…
Pablos: Just think of how much would somebody pay to put a tattoo on Angelina Jolie,
I think this works. Okay. So somebody should build this one. Obviously, this is the podcast full of amazing ideas are super lucrative.
Ash: Surge priced skin?
Pablos: We’ve obviously thought everything through. skin. I like it.
Ash: Surge skin,
Pablos: It’s like a, it’s like the mother of all tattoos,
Ash: The mother of all, ta-
