A new stamp release from Swiss Post of a 100-centime (1-franc) stamp that looks and feels like SKIN!
How weird is that!?

I was going to ask how big it was and if there were perfins, but I changed my mind.

Well then they should make postmarks that look like tattoos
A big heart with the word mom in it etc...
But really I think it's kind of gross

Just the first stamp in a long set to be issued, including reptile skin, chicken skin, mouse, dog, cat, cow... (Just kidding, I hope...)

And then there's the possibility — nay, the likelihood! — that the skins of endangered mammals will be featured, and not just printed images of skin, but the real thing. Think of the rarity! "A RARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Swiss stamp made of real albino rhinoceros skin taken from the last rhino in Africa! Bid now, bid often! Starting bid $245 kazillion Zaire dollars." After all, Switzerland has previously issued stamps printed on cloth and wood. So why not rhinoceros skin?

All I can think of to say is "EWWWWWWWWW" - lol now I'll be humming Jimmy Fallon's "Ewwww" song all day!
Seriously - a skin stamp? I guess if you want to draw attention to your product, shocking and repulsive is always an option.

It totally reminds me of Dexter, Hannibal and all the other creepy stuff out there.

Do they come with a bottle of sun screen, would not like to give it too much UV light so hopefully not Tagged.
Maybe when the texture has jammed the sorting machines they will only hand cancel them or maybe apply a footprint.
