Tatuajes sonoros, una técnica de EE.UU. que se ya se aplica en Algeciras
Miguel Albandoz

Sección Áurea has for more than a decade been tattooing drawings, symbols, portraits, words etc. and is now also tattooing sounds. The technique originated in the United States, but in Europe it has been patented by a Romanian tattoo parlour. Maro, a tattooing professional and enthusiast, contacted them and as a result her shop in Algeciras is the first to tattoo sounds in Spain.

The procedure is simple. Record the sound that interests you and send the audio file to the tattoo artists, who convert it into a graph, which they represent on the skin. Thanks to the application, which is free to download, you can listen as often as you wish to what you have printed in your skin.
