The Future of Tattooing Might Be Robots Partnering with Artists
A new tattoo shop in Austin is trialing a robotic interface that can apply a tattoo faster and with less pain than the usual process. Apparently the machine can also adjust its approach based on an individual’s skin type. On a recent trip to Sydney, I went old-school and visited an Aboriginal artist to get a custom design done for a tattoo.
In the future, I might instead be able to seek out an artist anywhere in the world and then have them upload their designs for a robot in my hometown to complete. The question is, will people forego the experience of working with a person and instead willingly trust a robot to do something so permanent and personal?
