QR Code (Quick Response) means "quick response" and is a two-dimensional bar code, which today can be "read" by most camera phones. On reading the code, the image is converted into several possibilities: business card, web address, video link, e-mail, mobile number, location, bill payment, etc. Its use is free of any license, so anyone can use it.

The QR Code tattoo represents individuality of the human beingas the code is associated with a result unique and unmodifiable. On the contrary, it can also mean a rejection of the fact that there is a culture of the man without personality, where everyone wears the same clothes, listens to the same music, takes the same pictures?

Another meaning used, in a more ironic tone, is objectification of the human beingas a product. Already in a tone of protestIt is a symbol against capitalism, consumerism, and the great concern with making money while dispensing with any human value.

One caveat before tattooing the QR Code is to test it on a piece of paper first to avoid problems. Preferably it should be done on a flatter spot and large enough for all its details.
