Not sure who the target demo is here. If you want to get a tattoo at home, you learn how to use a gun, spend whatever the equivalent of $15 in 2010 and some ink is, and go that route. (Source: Ex-wife did most of her own tattoos; pretty certain I did the second most on her; and she did the 1.5 on my body – one remains incomplete a decade later.)

Everyone appreciates nice, sharp ink once it’s healed, but this just looks … like not a real tattoo. I didn’t get around to the pricing, as the site was so horrifically overloaded with animations and videos that it brought my computer to its knees. I guess if you’re planning on a lot of tattoos, it could be cost-effective, but no doubt the ink is proprietary and at any rate, tattooing alone is like drinking alone.

Fine in moderation, but if you plan to be doing so many that you’re buying a machine, maybe rope your friends into splitting the cost and do tattoo parties?
