Stunning tattoo gun
the fact that this machine is new, has a modern look & feel, improves healing time, and is near silent will almost ensure that this it will be a hit in the industry. however, the elders may shun the gun, purely out of reluctance to accept change. the fact of the matter is, the old road-dogs won't be providing the tattoos of the future. end of story.
This looks like a bold new step in the evolution of the art...we have come a long way from the sharp stick and rock method
The design in great and so is the thinking but i'm not sure if all Tattoo artist would be into it.
As a product designer and Tattoo collector I have talked to many artists about this idea in the past and it was not that warmly received. There is still a 'dark art' to tattooing and many make there own 'guns' after an apprenticeship. There is already some bad feeling with shows like Miami Ink making the whole trade commercial and 'trendy', something like this may be seen as commercializing the trade even more.
But fingers crossed that this gets the industry interested and moving forward.
