Erm, what does this have to do with "Mark of the beast"?
Did I miss it somewhere or did you think you'd get more hits with some scaremongering?
Revelations 13:16 16He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, 17so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.
18This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666.
Everything we purchase is scanned via barcodes. Soon you will be recieving one on your person if you want to live societies way. It will contain all your personal info and you will be scanned just like the movies.
I know you think it may be far fetched but look at how close we really are. Not too long ago everything was cash and carry. Now it's all about scanning credit cards. Next the tattoo and you will be automatically scanned anywhere you are. They will now everything about you. I personally recomend not receiving it.
I suggest taking it seriously, because even if you don't
others will, and it will affect you one way or another.
Why would a tattoo be appealing? All across the lands parents are telling their kids they can't have tattoos....some government endorsed tattoo isn't going to change anything.

This is a passive RFID technology that contains no metals; the tattoos themselves can be colored or invisible.
Somark Innovations co-founder Mark Pydynowski noted that the RFID ink is fully biocompatible and was safe for use in humans. He noted that RFID ink tattoos could be used to track and rescue soldiers. He remarked "It could help identify friends or foes, prevent friendly fire, and help save soldiers' lives
After two years of development, Visa has finally launched its contactless payment credit card. Using embedded RFID, the new card allows customers to make small-ticket purchases like fast food and convenience store items by simply swiping the card within a few inches of the merchant's card reader.
...
The company's VisaNet network, over which payment authorization and settlement occurs, has been upgraded to accommodate transactions generated from the new cards so that issuing banks recognize contactless purchases as such.

'The mark of the beast' is supposed to be 666, most if not all barcodes for any product out there are seperated by 3 slightly longer paired lines which in a barcode scanner is read as a 6, therfore 6....6....6.
The worldwide success of VISA International, Dee Hock asserts, is due to its chaordic structure: it is owned by 22,000 member banks, which both compete with each other for 750 million customers and must cooperate by honoring one another’s $125 trillion in transactions annually across borders and currencies.
Principally, a chaordic organization is a self-organizing and self-evolving entity, which ends up looking more like a neural network (like the Internet) than a hierarchically-organized bureaucracy in which decision-making power is centralized at the top and trickles down through a series of well-regulated departments and managers.

Tattooing was only associated with barbarians in early Greek and Roman times. The Greeks learned tattooing from the Persians, and used it to mark slaves and criminals so they could be identified if they tried to escape. The Romans in turn adopted the practice from the Greeks, and in late antiquity when the Roman army consisted largely of mercenaries; they also were tattooed so that deserters could be identified.
