2024/25 WS The idea of the project is to use Scoby waste to produce fake skin for tattoo. Nowadays, tattoo artists are using fake skin made out of silicone, as well as pork skin or oranges. The use of Scoby could be a valid option to avoid the use of environmentally unfriendly products.

DIY Material Kits
Orange peels, peanut shells, avocado seeds, the daily consumption of our favorite foods often goes together with leftovers. What if we give food waste a second life? Taking scraps as the starting point to create something new? With these Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Material Kits we document and share our hands-on research with recipes to inspire and enable (future) applications.
