The Dermal Abyss creates a direct access to the compartments in the body and reflects inner metabolic processes in the shape of a tattoo. Traditional tattoo inks are replaced with biosensors whose color changes in response to variations of glucose, pH and sodium in the interstitial fluid. It blends advances in biotechnology with traditional methods in tattoo artistry.
