Star Wars Redux

Biowatch is now Biodetection 21.

Trigger devices and handheld devices are now the high-power lasers and particle beams of today's Star Wars version of biodefense.

Finger tattoos creep up the back of the hand to become a wrist bracelet, then on up the forearm onto the shoulder to become a sleeve. The long-sleeved shirt retreats to short sleeve, to muscle tee, to tank top as it desperately tries to keep pace as the sleeve tat spreads across the full back, across the chest, then down the stomach to areas best left unimagined.

A foot tat evolves into an ankle bracelet. The ankle tat climbs up the calf and onto the thigh. Long pants must then recede to ever higher shorts.
