The Print Advertisement That Talks to You

I must apologize to the great folks at CustomXM.

QR Codes Enable the Random Tattoo

Throughout 2011, people found many ways to use QR Codes. Some were used to promote products and services… others were used to increase registration. And some were used simply for fun.

We recently stumbled upon another example of this that was quite creative.
