Inka Robotics was founded with a rebellious young spirit, to change the tattoo world by revolutionizing technology, prices, hygiene and safety. Inka Robotics is building an autonomous tattooing robot controlled by computer vision. They have already produced a working technology demonstrator: http://youtu.be/SPbUeR06U0E The tattoo market is one of the faster-growing ones, and almost untouched by technology. In the US, there are over 65 million American with one tattoo or more - spending over 3 billion dollars annually on them. In fact, in the US you are more likely to own a tattoo than to own an iPhone. This incredible market hasn't advanced technologically in over a hundred years! The robot they developed is capable of performing designs that a human hand cannot. Moreover, this robot is capable of creating perfect tattoo reproductions - so famous tattoo artists can have their designs tattooed all over the world (customers from all over the world do not need to physically get to those tattoo artists). This is a great incentive for tattoo artists to join in.
