We're not saying you should get a QR Code tattoo. But if you were... here's how to do it. Last week, singer Katy Perry showed up at an award show sporting a new tattoo...of a QR Code.   (In case you were wondering, the QR Code links to a page promoting her new album. Perhaps she was trying to one-up T Swift's headline-making QR Codes. More from us on that here ---> https://lnkd.in/eCmpwBnU) Either way, we've entered a new era of QR Code...uh, creativity.   While Katy grabbed the headlines, she won't be the last to get a QR tat. Maybe you're even mulling over the idea.   (Look, we're not here to judge your life decisions.)   But if you insist on getting a QR Code tattoo, consider using a Bitly QR Code.   Why?   Like our short links, Bitly QR Codes can be redirected to a new page.   So, while you may be stuck with the ink, you won't be stuck with the link. You could even have a bit of fun changing the link destination to a new location every week or two.   Another perk? You can use Bitly's easy QR creator to customize the color and style of your code, letting you express yourself beyond a black-and-white square.   You know... this is actually starting to sound kind of awesome.   brb, gotta go design my next tattoo. P.S. We almost forgot to mention, you can use Bitly Analytics to track how many people scanned your tattoo.
