I was admiring the placement of a close friend's tattoos last night (I'll leave the situation to your imagination) and got the funniest idea.

What about Scratch and Sniff tattoos?!

Given current technology, a renewable and permanent scent may not be possible, but I'm sure some form of cream that lends the skin at least the temporary qualities of a scratch and sniff sticker isn't too out of question. Go one step further and even make them flavored! If nothing else, you have an excuse to get someone you met at a bar to lick you without seeming like a psychopath.

This idea is the product of a 3 day sleep deprivation experiment, so I'm not sure if it's baked or not... therefore I subject you humble readers to my strange machinations.

A cream that, when applied to the skin, gives of a certain odor that it doesn't have on its own. Perfume, or WIBNI.

I thought the flavors/smells were supposed to be pleasant.

They are. Like fruit and stuff. Not dead fish.. ick.

As for perfume, it's not scratch and sniff. It just exists.

My understanding of perfume is that it's supposed to somehow synergize with the wearer to create a unique scent. I'm aware that it's not activated by scratching.
