Forget about the pain of a real tattoo, says Nobuyuki Shimooka of Osaka in
Japan. Why not let the sun do the job instead (EP 962 155)? Anyone who fancies a
tattoo that will soon fade dons a special swimsuit which has small patterned
windows cut out of the fabric. The sun shines through, leaving a pattern on the
skin. To prevent sunburn, the window areas can be blocked off with fabric that
could be secured using a fastening material such as Velcro. Alternatively, the
inventor suggests that sunbathers could place intricately designed stickers on
their bodies. Peeling them off would reveal an untanned pattern.
