Also, here is a short technical design document (warning: PDF) prepared for the ISWC:

Nice way to get electrodes onto skin, but I feel like they're being moderately deceitful by hiding all the electronics on the other side of the arm (except for the NFC tag).

Agreed. Not to put the work down - it's beautiful - but the part where you get into the silicon capsense controller is never attractive and/or easy.

When building glass touchscreens we had anisotropic Z-tape under heat and pressure. Is there some breakthrough in doing this on a wet tattoo applique?

I wonder if art schools will grab a hold of this stuff. I imagine it will have a big impact on fashion, jewelry and makeup.
