Bar code Tattoos seem to be a new trend spreading but the idea of bar coding people has been frowned upon by many cultures and religions. The idea of the human kind being categorized and watched like a common store item conflicts with our idea of freedom and self identity. In religions it is seen as a sign of satan. It all begins with a misinterpretation of Revelation 13:16-18, and I quote:16 Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand, or the forehead,
This in a sense could stand for a "mark of the beast" or worker for Satan. The mark of being watched and becoming sheeple.
The truth of this is as simple as any other tattoo. It has an identity for the tattooed person. To show how they are alike all other people yet have their own 'code' in life.
