I need to first establish that I do not have any tattoos, and I do not anticipate ever wanting to get one. I entirely lack whatever it is that motivates people to get tattoos. Nevertheless I respect it quite a lot. It strikes me as a very human thing, and in a way a sort of permanent, forever hug.
Now there’s a company that can give you what is basically a digital, laser-printed tattoo. This feels wrong, like an AI trying to reproduce a Woody Guthrie performance. Sure, it’s possible. Is it the right direction to be going in?
