The cover picture shows a graphical image to visualise a smart, wearable tattoo sitting on the outer surface of the epidermis. The electrical field lines are depicted to be interrogating the outer layers of the skin. This is to give the idea that these tattoos can be used to assess the quality of the skin barrier (and so could be used to monitor skin disease states). See the article by K. De Guzman and A.
