    But your camera phone can already copy text. If it’s a tattoo about the first paper you wrote, whatever you make needs to work for 60+ years. Text is always going to be valid, who knows when QR codes will become obsolete. 60 years ago you’d be getting a tattoo of a punch card, and that would be mostly meaningless today.

    Sure, but that $2/yr company goes out of business after 10 years and the QR code stops working.

    I guess making the number just copy into your clipboard would be a decent option, but you can also just copy/paste text from images now, so why go through the trouble of QR coding it when that only makes sense to a computer?
