Subject : RFID TATTOO
In perusing SOMARK's various information, the use of this technology is for animals and humans. Electronic ink tattoos are how they are described by the company, and it isn't something that can be removed. It's permanent, can be colored or invisible. It is put within the layers of skin, on the 3rd or 4th layer.

Subject : RFID TATTOO
Quote:I have been reading your reports and have been blessed by such good research.
I noticed your updates and discussions on the “mark” being a tattoo or microchip and remembered some years ago that a firm called Alien Technology had a printable microchip technology – some say this is being put in currency. Since tattoo is really printing on the skin, I went looking and found this new company that has an RFID tattoo. This meets many requirements as it will be visible for inspection and electronically accessible. The company is called Somark

I also agree with your thoughts on the cashless society being some type of diversion. Although these chips could soon carry all cards and ID, would the banking industry want that? How would a person decide to use an Amex card or a Visa card and where would that leave loyalty and reward cards? I have worked as a technical auditor for Visa and card brands on PCI compliance for a few years and can tell you these brands are not likely to get squeezed out by a government ID program. They will want people to have access to cards. Visa Europe is actually targeting 2018 to get rid of the check.
Governments are complaining that black markets are a large part of GDP that cannot be taxed so perhaps as nations collapse they will cry out to eliminate cash for tax revenue.

Quote: RFID Tattoo for Tracking Cattle and Humans
“The Register reports that a St Louis based company, Somark Innovations, has successfully tested RFID tattoos to be used for tracking cattle and other animals. Details are limited for the actual tattoo, but it’s said to contain no metals and can be read up to about four feet away. Engadget has some more details on the matter. And yes, the article does mention RFID tattoos are possible for people, specifically the military. From the article: ‘The system developed by Somark uses an array of needles to quickly inject a pattern of dots into each animal, with the pattern changing for each injection. This pattern can then be read from over a meter away using a proprietary reader operating at high frequency.’" http://somarkinnovations.com/2007/01/rfi...nd-humans/

Quote:Invisible ‘Radio’ Tattoos Could Identify Soldiers 1.19.07*****
"Somark Innovations announced biocompatible RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) ink, which can be used to tattoo cattle and laboratory rats and can be read through animal hair.
It might even be used on humans eventually.
This is a passive RFID technology that contains no metals; the tattoos themselves can be colored or invisible.
Cows first
The Somark ID System creates a “biocompatible ink tatoo with chipless RFID functionality.”
The RFID ink tatoo does not require line of sight to be read, as is the case with other RFID devices (making them better than a barcode for some applications)...Somark claims that the biocompatible RFID ink system will improve readability rates as well.
Humans next?
Somark Innovations co-founder Mark Pydynowski noted that the RFID ink is fully biocompatible and was safe for use in humans. He noted that RFID ink tattoos could be used to track and rescue soldiers. “It could help identify friends or foes, prevent friendly fire, and help save soldiers’ lives,” Pydynowski said..." http://somarkinnovations.com/2007/01/liv...-soldiers/
Quote:Invisible RFID Ink Safe For Cattle And People, Company Says 1.10.07END UPDATE
"The process developed by Somark involves a geometric array of micro-needles and an ink capsule, which is used to ‘tattoo’ an animal. The ink can be detected from 4 feet away.by K.C. Jones, InformationWeek
...Somark Innovations announced this week that it successfully tested biocompatible RFID ink, which can be read through animal hairs....
Chief scientist Ramos Mays said the tests provide a true proof-of-principle and mitigate most of the technological risks in terms of the product’s performance. “This proves the ability to create a synthetic biometric or fake fingerprint with biocompatible, chipless RFID ink and read it through hair,” he said.
Co-founder Mark Pydynowski said during an interview Wednesday that the ink doesn’t contain any metals and can be either invisible or colored. He declined to say what is in the ink, but said he’s certain that it is 100% biocompatible and chemically inert. He also said it is safe for people and animals.
The process developed by Somark involves a geometric array of micro-needles and a reusable applicator with a one-time-use ink capsule. Pydynowski said it takes five to 10 seconds to “stamp or tattoo” an animal, and there is no need to remove the fur. The ink remains in the dermal layer, and a reader can detect it from 4 feet away.
“Conceptually, you can think of it in the same way that visible light is reflected by mirrors,” he said, adding that the actual process is slightly different and proprietary.
The amount of information contained in the ink depends on the surface area available, he said. The U.S. Department of Agriculture calls for a 15-digit number to track cattle. The first three digits are “840″ for the U.S. country code. The remaining digits are unique identifiers. The numbers would link to a database containing more information.
“It can say where it has been, who it has talked to, who it has eaten with, and who else it has been in contact with,” Pydynowski said.
...The ink also could be used to track and rescue soldiers, Pydynowski said.
“It could help identify friends or foes, prevent friendly fire, and help save soldiers’ lives,” he said. “It’s a very scary proposition when you’re dealing with humans, but with military personnel, we’re talking about saving soldiers’ lives and it may be something worthwhile.” http://somarkinnovations.com/2007/01/inv...pany-says/
