  I think I’ve worked in automation long enough to feel super uncomfortable with the idea of a tattoo print machine being anywhere near my body.

  Even if I had a kill switch in hand, it still makes me uncomfortable. In general machines don’t care about fleshy bits at all. If something happens, for example a sensor ages and becomes defective, the printer has the potential to cause serious harm.

  I probably also hold a bit of bias, I prefer the imperfections of human, hand made art over digitized perfection from machines.

    Personally I would never get an automated tattoo, as you said the risk of serious harm is way too high, and I also prefer to keep art in the realm of Humans. I think eventually we will realize that automation isn’t the answer for everything, but it is interesting that someone thought this was a good idea.

      Advocatus diaboli: 2D printers didn’t take art out of the realm of humans either, even though they allow for non-hand-painted images.

        The difference is that part of the art of tattooing is the act of tattooing itself. It takes a lot of time and practice to master that, and I would prefer to keep supporting people with skill over automation.

    I clicked the link and immediately thought “wow this is going to be nothing more than an obnoxious load of marketing wank” as soon as I saw the loading bar appear and take 20 seconds to fill.

    I was right.

    Yeah, the site doesn’t seem very mobile friendly. Sorry about that. But it was an interesting find, I didn’t realize something like this existed until I saw your question.
