New uses for your laser cutter!

That's right, If you ever wanted to have cool designs burned into your skin, you're in luck.

It seems they rigged up a CNC laser cuter so they could stick their arms in and tattoo themselves.

Play the video to get the idea.
OUCH!!!!

You would think that if someone would spend the time and 2 whole brain cells thinking about this that they would come up with something more interesting to burn into their skin that very simplistic and poorly drawn pics. I think this guy just lost 1 of his last 2 brain cells.

I really don't think any brain cells factored into this equation I just wonder how deep the burns go!?!?? [photo not recovered: shocked.gif]

Gives a whole new meaning (and opens up a world of possibilities) to burning an image of the pattern into your mind.

I think they call that branding.

The irony here is that lasers are used by surgeons to REMOVE tattoos, scars, moles, etc. But there is a candidate for the Darwin Awards

Remember the scene from "Goldfinger" when Auric had ol Jim boy strapped to a table and the huge laser lit off? Tattooing was not the intent. One cringes to think of the end result. Can you sing alto?

Just what the world needs - - - - a $25,000 CNC tattoo machine.
