Stare for long enough into the abyss and the abyss will stare back at you, Nietzsche said. Or, in the case of CES 2013, you will get a look from the maddest things at the show-- such as the Tat'z Nail'z nail inkjet printer.
The name says it all, really. The oddly named device first takes a photo before printing it on your fingernails. The process is surprisingly quick (around 10 seconds) and soon enough you too can have a photo-quality image of your own face on a fingernail or two.
Perhaps thankfully a selection of different non-face images also comes pre-loaded in the printer.
The Tat'z Nail'z nail printer does not come cheap at $10000, but perhaps your customers might want to invest in a bit of fashion...
