Comment on No-hole surgery: no keyhole, yet surgeons can now still operate under your skin (2023)

Comments

I dislike the name "ink" for a plastic or resin compound with which we are going to saturate regions of our bodies. It reminds me of George Carlin talking about euphemisms.

I suppose "ink" because it's cognate with "printing". Also maybe the tattoo connotation of putting something in / under the skin

Ok, so can we and should we try to come up with a more suitable term?
