QR Code

Being made to create a QR code with obscene content

What You Need

• Smartphone
• Printer and tattoo stickers if available

Method

In this training task, you will create your own original QR code containing obscene content.

QR codes have an open specification, so you can freely create one with any text you like.
Search for "QR code generator" on your smartphone.

Most services are designed for creating URL codes, so they'll typically have you input a URL, but there should be services that allow you to enter free text of a few hundred characters.
You'll use this to create your masochistic QR code.

Create a QR code that includes the following items:

• Your name
• Your age
• A confession that you are a masochist
• How the person who scans this QR code may treat you

Once you've created the QR code, casually display it on your smartphone in places like trains or cafes.
It's unlikely anyone will scan it, but imagine what would happen if someone did.

As an advanced option, if you have a printer at home, buy some tattoo sticker (transfer sticker) paper and print your QR code.
It might be difficult to use your own paper at convenience stores, but if there's a rental office equipment store nearby, you might be able to print there.
Once you've made your QR tattoo sticker, place it on your face or thigh for a while and enjoy the feeling of being marked.

Points to Note

QR codes are an excellent technology developed by Japan's Denso, and they're used in various places.
However, you're probably the first person to embed your masochistic nature in one and display it while thinking someone might scan it.

There's something symbolically beautiful about your masochistic nature being digitized and turned into a pattern that machines can read.
Please do try scanning your own unique masochistic QR code with your device as well.
