Instead of that slow, painful ink-embedding with a needle, just use microencapsulated beads of UV-triggered explosive surrounded by pigment. The artist simply draws the design, then applies a flash from a UV lamp to set off the microencapsulated charges that drive the pigments home. One quick "pop"
and that tat is permanent. Also allows changes in the design before committing.

Thinking that as many of the beads will pop off into space as burrow into the skin. Better off applying a specially prepared decal that does the same thing, and has the microcapsules aligned correctly, methinks. |

I'm not sure what scares me more... being poked many times with a needle or having explosives set of on my skin. |

Ah wait, I know: What really scares me is that so many people want to disfigure themselves... But thats just my point of view. |
