#33Neat concept, but the density of needles seems quite low for tattoing, and that is likely why the linework of the tattoos in those pictures is so blurry. While getting tattooed, the needle will puncture skin and deposit ink typically 1500+ times per minute. The most specific that this article gets is saying the patches have "hundreds" of needles. At the high end (999 needles in a patch) this means that this patch has…
It feels more like a fork scraping a sunburn for me, than repeatedly stabbed with a needle

#35Are tattoos normally considered painful? I got my first one recently (a small shoulder tattoo) and it didn't hurt really, more like a cat's tongue rasping against the skin. I have heard my artist has a light touch, and it wasn't a very sensitive area.
Approximate tattoo pain by location on body: https://www.healthline.com/health/body-modification/pain-tat...
The choice of `medium-light blue`, `yellow`, `medium-dark blue` (!?), `red` for the pain guage is definitely something.
I almost missed that there were 4 colors until the second chart

#36Design you own graphics or select from our exclusive collection: https://mocagh.org/broderbund/printshop-refcard.pdf
Was this meant seriously? I literally used those graphics 40 years ago (it's from a wonderful program called PrintShop ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41087798 )
The needle grid reminded me of dot-matrix printers which then brought me back to hours spent with PrintShop. The similar resolution and size of this device and PrintShop graphics tickled me with retro-future visions of people sitting at an Apple II picking out tattoo designs to be printed on themselves.

#37Kind of scary, imagine someone putting an ad in that and placing it on random people without them noticing. Obviously doesn’t really make sense because if it’s an ad you also know who did it but somehow that’s the first thing that came to mind for me.
From TFA:
> Applied with a handheld tool, the patch stays on the skin for around 10 to 15 minutes
You'd notice.

Probably more applicable to large scale internment camps where people do not have a choice.

Even when drunk?
I’m not saying it’s a real danger (people willing to do that could already do a lot of other stuff) but I wouldn’t be so sure that you couldn’t do it either.

Makes you wonder why; if we can cut steel in half with water, would it be possible to deliver ink to a specified depth with high pressure “ink needles” (microscopic high pressure short burst of liquid ink)? Like a super high pressure inkjet printer.
Though, I assume a more practical point might be a robot that would have an ink-feeding extremely fast cycling device for doing tattoos that can complete them in a fraction of the time. Would suck for artists if you could just AI design your tattoo and have it done in minutes by a robot that can sense your movements and reactions and adjust in real time.
