Blackdot introduces the world's first automatic tattooing device, a machine resembling an X-ray unit, to assist tattoo artists. The device has received mixed responses—some shops have started utilizing it, while others express concern about automation potentially disrupting the tattoo industry. Founded by Joel Pennington, the studio emphasizes that the machine is not a robot, as it does not make autonomous decisions. Tattoos remain highly popular, with a significant percentage of U.S. adults sporting at least one tattoo, reflecting a long-standing cultural tradition with historical roots.
Blackdot's automated tattooing device, described as the world's first, is designed to assist in the tattooing process but does not operate autonomously, provoking mixed reactions within the tattooing community.
While some tattoo shops have integrated the automated tattooing device into their workflows, concerns have arisen about the implications of automation in the tattoo industry, reflecting broader anxieties seen in other sectors.
