Palm OS Powered Tattooing Robot Debuts in Vienna

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the humans-now-completely-useless dept.

Makarand writes "Ananova has an article on the world's first tattooing robot. An Austrian electrician, after being left with some permanent reminders of his tattooing robot project, has unveiled his creation at a hi-tech fair in Vienna. He said that he had to test it on himself to get the robot do the right thing and has not recieved any complaints from volunteers who got a tattoo for free at the trade fair."

  1. Some one should listen. by Martigan80 · · Score: 0, Troll
    It was a hard job because the only person I could test it on was myself which was painful but a good incentive to get it right as soon as possible.

    Maybe MS should hookup electrodes to the developers and shock them everytime there is a big security whole! ;-P

      Maybe slashdot should hook up electrodes to the posters and shock them every time they fail to choose the right homonym. s/whole/hole/ there, sparky.

    Somebody hooked up a plotter to a PalmPilot and used a tatooing needle for a pen. Just what the world needs.

    The system is only capable of tattooing arms, what about people who wish to have a big dragon tattooed on their chest? Or a large skull on their back?? What about MOM with an anchor on their ass???
