People are not flat.

Part of a tattoo artists talent is in transferring a flat image onto an irregular surface and making the adjustments required to maintain the correct proportions.

Obviously the smaller the tat the less of an issue.
I was thinking about that, wonder if a sort of flexible device, fits over the skin contours. Maybe take an image prior then have the software accommodate the topography. Could even do a mock up with temp ink that only lasts a short time. Call it regret free. Not that people who get inked ever have regrets.

While I do appreciate the human skill, no human can touch a computer generated image with fine printing. If very small ink ports or needles are used and depth can be controlled I think it would open up the chance for really high quality images at a fraction of the time and cost.

I am a firm believer that with technology anything is possible...
