A new AI tattoo machine called Blackdot is revolutionizing the tattoo industry by using computer vision, lasers, and a microscope to apply ink with surgical precision, resulting in ultra-detailed tattoos with less pain.
Blackdot allows for custom tattoos without the need to meet the artist in person, catering to various styles from sharp lettering to lifelike portraits and can even replicate original artwork at a hair-size detail level.
While some traditional tattoo artists express concerns about losing the human connection and job opportunities to AI, others see the machine as a tool that expands possibilities and handles tedious tasks like fine lettering effectively.
The company behind Blackdot plans to place these AI tattoo machines in various establishments beyond traditional tattoo shops, including permanent makeup studios, salons, and fashion stores, offering new ways to create and connect through tattoo art.
