Appropriate Audiences Takes Tattooing 3D Printer to Autodesk for Improvement

Late last year, we reported on a French tattoo studio that hacked a MakerBot printer and turned it into a tattooing machine. At the time, it was still a pretty rough, if cool, concept - tatoué, as Appropriate Audiences named their invention, was able to tattoo a few basic shapes onto a person who inserted his or her arm carefully into the printer, but there wasn't much versatility in terms of what kind of designs or parts of the body could be tattooed. This year, Appropriate Audiences took it to Autodesk's Pier 9 workshop, and boy, does it look different now. With help from Autodesk's Applied Research Lab, tatoué has gone from a modified 3D printer to a giant robot arm that can tattoo anywhere a human tattoo artist can.
