A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Given a bit more time to think about it, I think this could actually get tattoo artists more money -- with a few tweaks, of course.
The major one: Temporary ink -- try before you buy, more like henna than a tattoo, fading in a week or so. Put your pitchforks away ... this is obviously a product being marketed to people who want to be edgy but actually going and getting a tattoo is scawy.
I could see a shop buying one of these for the artists to share essentially as proofs. Charge like $20 for the machine one; apply it as a credit if they decide they want the real thing. Cuts down on buyer's remorse and "it didn't turn out how I expected." Yeah, skin moves.
