Kyeok Kim's Second Skin Jewelry

Jewelry designer Kyeok Kim plays with the relationship between ornamentation and the body, allowing colorful light to cascade over the skin or leaving impressions of text on the body.

The end result resembles a sort of light-up tattoo. But there's more; the light is controlled by magnets contained in a corresponding ring, so when the geographical relationship between the two pieces of jewelry changes, so does the pattern.
