Innovative £50 Tattoo Patch Employs Discreet Microneedles, Minimizing Discomfort

Buzzline

CipherX, a startup based in London, claims to offer a method for achieving permanent tattoos without the need for a traditional tattoo machine. Their patch features numerous tiny biodegradable needles, each filled with ink, that penetrate the surface of the skin. According to the company, the process is significantly less painful than standard tattooing due to the microneedles being less than one millimeter in length. The entire appointment lasts between 25 to 30 minutes, with the patch applied for a duration of 15 minutes. Available designs are restricted to a 15 mm diameter circle, with 13 monochrome options priced at approximately £50, equivalent to about US$67. The founders are optimistic about adapting this technology for applications in skincare and health monitoring.
