Laser-Etched Tattoos

Burnt Skin Body Art Is So Disturbing

It was only a matter of time before laser-etched tattoos made their way into our culture. The demo video shown here lasts about 11 minutes and I could not stop grimacing for the duration.

The tattooing, or 'skin burning', is done by a rapid moving etching needle and the whole process can be seen in all its nauseating details through the machine's clear glass.

When the skin etching is completed, the dude gets to admire the fugliest tattoo in the history of life. Ew!
