Conductive ink for your skin

And you thought tattoos were cool! Students at the Royal College of Art have developed a special body paint that conducts electricity, yet it won’t give you a shock!

“Bare” is non-toxic and painted directly onto your skin with a brush. The students say it may also be possible to create stamps that can be applied directly to your body in the future. The paint is water soluble so it can be washed off, but that does raise the question as to how long it lasts.

Imagine the possibilities! Performance art? Medical devices? Ear buds with a cable you can paint directly onto your body? How would you use conductive ink?
