My entire sleeve will be around 3-3.5k all up. So 9k could do another 2 full limbs at least. Or I could get a 6 x 2 inch tattoo of 3 birds... Tough choices 🤔 /s
Comparing a robot that is used by a surgeon who has been trained for years to use the robotic arms as an extension of their own abilities to a robot that is not controlled by a person but is closer to a 3D printer with needles is laughable. The comparison alone should be enough to show they don’t know wtf they are doing
Was looking for this exact comment before I ended up saying the same thing. Their comment proves they don't even know what surgical robots are, their use, the way in which they operate....
Yeah the way they describe it makes it seem like they think they just press a button and the machine does the surgery not as you say a doctor controlling it at all times....
their concept is pretty similar to this gadget called imprintu but with needles, you select what you want and it prints it on you skin. and if they are using robots to idk "cut down time" or "to reduce stress" or idk why shouldnt the tattoos be cheaper?
The thing about surgical 'robots' is that they are still controlled by people XD The surgeon is literally sitting in the operating room controlling the arms and camera. So yeah, the comparison to nailpolish printers is apt.
Doctor here! I was gonna comment exactly this. Robot assisted surgery still implies having a surgeon remotely control the machine. I really woundnt trust this glorified printer to tattoo me any more than i would allow it to remove my appendix
Its true, the surgery bots are being controlled by an actual doctor.. I'd trust that over a fully automated system..but that's because I've seen too many scifi movies where the robots flip script.
Well and if a tattoo artist was controlling the robot to actually do something that isn’t possible otherwise (the way a medical robot works) I would be interested!
Not them boasting about a NINE MONTH OLD TATTOO?? You said "We haven't seen how these tattoos will look ten, twenty years from now." and they really said "oh, yeah? well neither have we!" lmao
That reminds me of a time me and my friends were sitting around busting each other's chops. One friend got called a "1 pump chump" and he clapped back with "I'll have you know I went 3 pumps last time, thank you!"
This is a classic example of how not every industry needs to be "disrupted". The only people who would want this are severely out-of-touch rich people.
I would go as far as to say that most industries don't. What that usually means is just mass production. I don't think I've ever seen a case of "disruptors" doing anything else than stomping down the prices with mass produced bullshit. Here the mass production just comes with a bigger price tag as well.
Lmao yes! I live in SF so I ofc see it all the time. Like the guys who realized people needed to get to work quickly,safely, and preferably in a planet conscious way. WELL what if there was an app where ppl in one location could carpool together but larger. Of course they need to be dropped off in one centralized location….A BUS. Y’all disrupted taxis with Uber n Lyft so why not take over public transportation but make it worse! Like I think there was a group wanted it to be those tiny sprinter vans, so it was more exclusive . Like what?!
And even still, micro/fine detail tattoos are a niche style that occupies a very small part of the tattoo industry. It’s giving “nobody asked for this” 😂
Hell i'd rather have a tattoo artist that does not speak at all than hear that noise for hours. Actually if i was forced to choose between the two, id rather chose a rude tattoo artist over that machine, for multiple reasons (wont cost 9 grand, wont be a miniscule tattoo that will end up incomprehensible, giving money to someone that is doing labor instead of going to people who just stand there and look at the machine doing the job*...etc) So yeah, no machine for me. *like i know artists are paid for the tattoo they design but yk the whole public domain thing means it doesnt always happen, i also know people have to put on stencils and monitor the machine but they are aiming for it to be oh so safe and self sufficient that it would mean that barely any work is put into it so why even pay? Isnt the point of automated machines that its cheaper, like if i go to a photobooth its not gonna be the same price as a photographer
@@lauraelliott6909don't remind me! Those things are awful. And I had this clot in my arm where they injected the contact fluid. It went away on its own but it was freaky all around
About the tiny tattoos: honestly... do they think dainty tattoos age badly because the artist lack technique??? That these will age better? They will only have business until time shows the truth
Seems like it. It also seems like it was maybe set up by people who were too intimidated by tattoo artists to get one, so their solution was to design a machine to do it so they didn't have to speak to someone. Just like Ephemeral, their time is limited by the results of the tattoo aging. Since it is only really becoming commercial talked about now, the more recent uptick in people getting them as guinea pigs...I give it probably 2-4 years before we see an influx of "this is how my BlackDot tattoo healed" vids. That's if the owner doesn't shut up shop when his tattoo turns into a smudge.
@@hawkeyescoffee6399 well put! sadly, a few years might be enough to get them rich..? maybe they don't care about their sustainability beyond that. And then they drop it (like you said, like ephemeral) but all their customers have to deal with the aftermath
@@hawkeyescoffee6399 I think they saw that a lot of tattoo artists refuse or talk people out of a tiny highly detailed tattoo and thought it was a skill issue without understanding the actual reason
It's kind of cool that I actually have knowledge that corresponds to something in the video. I'm a certified sterilization tech, which decontaminates and sterilizes surgical instruments, including the surgical robotic arms. The arms themselves are fully detached after surgery to be decontaminated through a fairly rigorous process. They are checked to see if they are damaged in any way. They even have a built-in indicator for when they are no longer operable. Once decontaminated, they are once again examined to see if they are clean and undamaged/fully functioning. They are then sterilized in high temp steam autoclaves before being used again. The surgeons/surgical techs themselves would also visually inspect the test the tools to make sure they're safe. Something tells me this tech startup in a less heavily regulated field isn't doing as rigorous maintenance 🤔 Love the new hairstyle, btw 😍
I'm the person that made the microrealism comment and it's really funny that they responded to me by assuming that microrealism "wasn't my taste." Like, that's not the problem. The problem is that they were acting like they were doing types of tattoos normal artists can't do, which is very obviously false. Interesting how they glossed over my clearly stated point there and acted like MY taste in tattoos was the issue.
A design is SOLD OUT? How the Hell does a program for a computer that should be able to recreate over and over again...Sell out of a design? It's not a finite thing. What the actual fuck?
It's manufactures scarcity. It's JUST a sales grift working off of fomo. Like "ooo better jump on the one you like cause they sell out fast" It's lies and bullshit from the company.
like DAMN???' at least with physical merch you're getting something out of it, manufactured scarcity still sucks but there's SOMETHING actually tangible i can get there, how does anyone fall for manufactured scarcity on a copypasted design!!
a tech bro trick to try and trick people into thinking something is rare to prompt them to buy it, it works on idiots and instagram influencers and other tech bros. its a flash tat......its copy paste into a program that prints it on you, yknow. Honestly if its only richkids losing money on this, idc. i hope everyone else is smarter and chooses to drop thousands of dollars on something with more value than a gimmick for a tiktok or insta post. once all the techbros and instagirlies see something else new and shiny, theyll be off on that new trend and wont be repeat customers of blackdot. i cant see them lasting very long.
They’re also nuts. PLENTY of small artists who aren’t tattoo artists will literally just sell you a license to get their art tattooed on you. That’s a thing you can just…do. No robot required, and it can be larger than 6”x2”!
As an amateur artist, I have done the occasional comission for tattoos before. It's not that hard to find someone who does this. I assure you small artists like me will be more than happy to give/sell you permission to get their artwork tattooed or even do something custom for you (in case you don't want it done by the tattoo artists for whatever reason). So basically, I agree with you and Blackdot is out of their mind!
they banned me a while ago for going on their page and replying to people asking about appointments to contact one of the many amazing local artist in austin to get a tattoo.
i just think it's hilarious how a company that boasts about their "great technology" is SO tech illiterate that they don't know they can just edit a comment, instead of basically writing the same thing twice lmaoooo
@@thenopedetectiveFor some very odd reason, TH-cam is limited in a browser. If I see a video on the sidebar that I may want to watch later, I can save it to a playlist if I'm using the mobile app. Browsers only allow watch later (unless anything has changed in the last few days).
@@thenopedetectiveon the TH-cam app you can get edit comments after you’ve posted them, pretty sure you can do it on a browser as well. Press the three buttons all the way to the right
@@thenopedetective if they could delete only, then they could copy the comment, then delete it, then edit it, and post it, instead of posting twice. I think that maybe to hard for them to do though.
The only way this will take off is if it is significantly cheaper than a regular tattoo. There’s a reason exclusive experiences come with custom concierge service. It’s because people pay more for a personal touch.
I dont understand why they can't understand that you cant "engineer" a tattoo to heal better and last longer unless you change the medium its going in, but you cant because its fricken skin. You cant engineer my body to not metabolize and slowly fade the ink away or migrate the ink under my skin. 🤦♀️
Exactly this! Neither can you control the variances between that medium on different people. eg My skin LOVES colour but spreads black. Other people I know lose colour first and fast but their black looks almost exactly at it did the day it was done. Then there are allergy issues. Even the best tattoo artist can only control so much of the outcome.
@@writeonshell The fact they can't see that people are an uncontrollable variable. We aren't paper. This just shows me they have little knowledge on how actual tattoos work and I'm scared what horror stories might come from these machines in the future 😬 I hope no one gets seriously hurt
@@AshChiCupcak Right. I mean I wonder if they've tested it on more melanated skin too. Given the typical lack of care for people of colour in the tech field, I can probably guess. So many variables because we're talking human bodies that can be extremely different despite the similarities and that need individual attention - even from one piece of a body to another piece on that same body.
@@writeonshell Now that you mention it, I don't remember seeing a single person that wasn't white in all their promo photos and videos. Way to alienate a large chuck of potential clients. Honestly, probably for the best. This whole thing seems too dangerous to be run by people who aren't taking the time to learn about the craft. I hope it closes down before there are any accidents.
I don't understand how their marketing team didn't stop them from making all these comments. They can't honestly think that arguing with people in youtube comments is going to help people's opinion of their concept? Also, they keep comparing apples to oranges. The one early on about how people were upset at the way the company was referring to tattoo artists, and their skill, and instead of addressing that they just say 'well we do other styles too'... not the point.
The comments might actually be coming from their marketing team. They don't care about our opinions. Arguing with people in the comments increases engagement and makes people aware they exist. They want to reach their target market: rich people who aren't educated about tattoos and are willing to pay a ridiculous amount of money for an "exclusive" experience and a tiny tattoo that will look terrible in 5 years.
I suspect this WAS their marketing team. Not a good one. But still. It's giving "person who handles social media but has no training / little experience."
Exactly! They need to provide clients with the headphones they usually give to those undergoing MRI. Or better yet, they should just stop this ridiculousness.
Engineering doesn't automatically provide an understanding of human immune systems or how the body reacts to small ink particles over time. This business is treating human skin like fake skin, using a glorified printer and all. This tech looks like it would work better in indirect contact with humans situations.
One point I haven’t seen raised is “what happens if there’s a fire..?” With a traditional tattoo environment you can just get wrapped and evacuate. What about in a Blackdot environment? Sit and wait for a firey death? 🔥🔥🔥 Additionally so since it’s a huge feck-off machine instead of an itty bitty mechanical pen
Tbf the Mona Lisa was public domain as soon as Leo took it out of his studio, they didn't have copyright laws, and copying other artists, especially the masters, were essential in teaching art. But the point stands :) Also, it's so funny and defensive they are abt this "TH-camr", they clearly try to be derisive, but they are the ones throwing tantrums in YOUR comments, so which is it? Are you worth listening too, or just a rando on the internet? Seems they think you're the former, otherwise they'd just ignored and moved on. You look stunning as always, love the hair😊
What jumps out at me about them “engineering their tattoos for longevity” is that if they actually figured out how to make tattoos last without spreading or otherwise deteriorating, *that* technology would be what their investments and PR would be about, not getting a tattoo from a robot. From a purely money perspective, that would be revolutionary enough by itself to set them up for life.
Spot on. If they were able to stop the body from rejecting the ink over time, that would be groundbreaking. Ground breaking enough that I would get a glow up on every tatt that I have.
I think there's always room for innovation in every industry. Robotics in the tattoo industry COULD have a place and could be an interesting idea. But the way they have gone about their business is to separate themselves from the industry, belittle the artists and the wearer's, and not add anything of value to anyone.
I think for reconstruction like re-adding nipples after mastectomy or tattooing over scars and stretch marks would be a great application and possibly covered by insurance too.
Surgical machines are controlled by surgeons. They don’t just load up a program and hit go. So they’re not going to start doing random things, and if something does go wrong they’ll notice immediately and can compensate. As opposed to hoping the person across the room on their phone notices their printer is malfunctioning.
If they think this is approachable in anyway ( environment, price and execution) then I would be scared to see how approachable them and their "friends" are
For real. I already have bangs, but they started growing out and now they're in that awkward "too long to be comfortable on my forehead but too short to put behind the ears" phase. Lauren makes me want to grab a pair of shears 😂
There was a tattoo convention in my city this weekend. I love going, meeting new artists, getting a few tattoos, chatting with artists and enthusiasts, listening to music. It's an assembly for appreciating art, and I could never imagine Black Dot or robot tattooing ever having a place there.
Always a great look when a company has to fight in the comments and go, "nah uh! We are good!" Like if your product/company can't stand critism, it's probably not a good product
it's like those wearable """"AI"""" devices, legit I saw a techbro who owned a startup or something cry on threads at how people are mean to a product and that "bad products aren't allowed to just exist". That's called capitalism babe, it's not always fair but why do you expect a participation trophy just because you're arrogant enough to definitively claim "iNOvaTIVE" ? just because the media is lining up to give them BJ's over their AI toys doesn't mean the consumers will.
I can't believe that not one of them stopped to think about why us artists don't cram so much detail into such a small space... "the way they tattoo" isn't going to change how ink spreads on skin... it's so unpredictable yet they think they've got everything good and down from a 9-month trial tattoo... yeah okay I'd rather spend that 9k on a hardworking artist not some gunshot sounding robot.
When self service checkouts still don't know when theres a bag in the bagging area, why would you trust a machine to safely stab you?! I don't believe anyone is relaxed enough in that situation to fall asleep..
Wow i hate this so much and they have no idea what they are talking about when it comes to robotic surgery. First of all cardiac surgery is not done robotically. Not yet at least. Also robotic surgery is not autonomous. There is a surgeon sitting behind a control panel controlling every move.
A surgical robot knicked a capillary in my dad's brain during surgery, causing a brain bleed that gave him stroke like symptoms for over a year. He went from a completely happy and independent 65 year old, to someone who depended on me for everything. Luckily since it was a brain bleed it resolved after a year, so he's back better than ever with a real appreciation of life, but like. Even surgery robots make mistakes.
I'm kind of concerned that they may not have tested it on different kinds of skin, texture and body types. A big thing in the tattoo industry is covering up a scar with a tattoo or helping someone heal after losing a limb by creating a tattoo. Something tells me that this machine will not be able to tattoo on unique body types or body parts.
It can already only tattoo on flat areas. No way it can handle scars. Or anything that's not strictly flat. That's probably also why these things are tiny.
I had an ovarian cyst a few years back, and the images of their "tattoo studio" remind me strongly of being wheeled into a scanner on a hospital bed. (I'm fine now, btw.) That is NOT an environment I would want to voluntarily get artwork done in. Who is this even marketed to? BTW, you're looking fabulous today! I love your hair.
The noise from a machine reminds me very strongly of an MRI machine. Have you ever had to get an MRI? They are VERY loud. Like, technicians putting earplugs in your ears with over-ear protection loud. Now, it's clear that their super special tattoo machine is not nearly that loud and disruptive, but as someone who is sensitive to loud sounds, it looks like a very expensive way for me to get a migraine.
They actually replied to my comment on your video too. So Micro aggressive for a company claiming their glorified printer is superior to human hands. 😂 mak3s sense though, seeing as as they're known for a Micro Lisa 😂😂
Blackdot commented that “they can do larger tattoos as well.” If they’re already charging THOUSANDS for a tiny tattoo, how much would a large one cost???
OMG...the clinical setting, being strapped down! the lights actually made me feel uneasy, & then the noises!!! the noises gave me so much anxiety & that's just a video, can't imagine in-person! 😱😭 Edit: the machine doesn't follow copy/paste commands...🤔 maybe not, but the person inputting the art into the machine can & already has proven so with the art already available; they've only gotten permission or used public domain so far 🙄...also, if they consider anyone who might have a different opinion of their invention than them rude & can't take a bit of teasing from skeptics, then they seem pretty immature to me 🤷♀️
Those SOUNDS!!! It's like getting an MRI! In addition to being cold, clinical and LONELY, I could NEVER stand the environment alone, let alone those SOUNDS!!! Give me the hilarious conversations going on in my local studio, the eclectic mix of tunes going in the background, and my artist with me, giving me updates, checking in on me, and making me feel safe and comfortable, ANY DAY!!
the fact that they're defending themselves when "clients" are basically paying $5000 to have a 'mole '.... within the next 5years? ... unhinged, if i do say so myself
another reason being strapped into this machine is dangerous…dangerous happenings inside or outside the facility…..blackdot is made by & used by people who don’t know anything ab tattoos
I can imagine them withering away, going grey on deaths door in 2yrs time trying to get this to work, hunched over a table like a gremlin muttering 'I will show her' That's how bothered they are about you talking about them, they didn't like us agreeing with you either 😂 they're doing too much haha. Thanks for showing my comment! I was shocked when they started replying to everyone.
Surgical nurse here....a robotic surgery is not done by a robot. It's controlled by a human being sitting in the same room. Additionally there is a team of people scrubbed in assisting the surgeon while they are sitting at the controls. It's more like a remote controlled car than a "robot". It does nothing without human input. If anything goes wrong(which I've never seen by the way) they would troubleshoot the machine instantly. Plus these machines are multimillion dollar machines that have been around for 15-20 years by now. They aren't brand new technology. To compare the blackdot machine to robotic surgery shows that they have no idea what they are talking about and how delusional they are.
@@Char10tti3 really? They are really cool. It must have been a discontinued/early model. Those things are crazy expensive so u don't they purchased a new one.
If they had taken a look at the rest of your channel they might learn something. People regretting hyper realistic tattoos that turned into black blobs is a theme at this point
What I find interesting, and lining up with the strapping down, is that it restricts the areas they can tattoo on. Like, the examples we have seen so far have been on the flat area of the arm. How is that gonna tattoo like on the curve of a shoulder, or neck?! Their whole set up is extremely limited.
That's one of the most ridiculous things about all of this - they claim that their machine can do things that are impossible for human tattoo artists, but their machine can only tattoo on flat surfaces!
the only way I can see that working is you're retrained buy this robotic apparatus which rotates/moves you similar to how a tattoo artist might get you adjust position...which I don't have to tell you is the deranged scenario of nightmares.
Genuinely, i dont think they care, i think they're just trying to infiltrate the industry to try and line their pockets. Like we see those prices, $9k for a 6" tattoo??? That's *insane*. Or like $1k to $3k for tattoos half that size? Lemme tell ya, some of the tattoos that are available are similar in size to some of mine and i think the most expensive one i have is like $400 because it's the biggest one. Insane. I would never.
My 3d printer had glitched and just froze mid print. I cant imagine a tattoo machine glitching out and getting stuck in my skin. Or stabbing to deep. Technology still has issuse so no way in hell im ever trusting skynet with my skin.
yeees i was impatient about this upload!! the owners are definilty very insecure and ignorant, them ridiculing themselves like that is just peak comedy, ill be bringing popcorn for their response lol
Not the CEO pulling the “Oh this? It’s just my new tattoo” pose whenever he wants some attention 13:31 aye look it’s their response to my “they’re gonna lobotomise me” joke 😂
I got my **whole lower leg** from my foot to just above my knee tattooed in colour for $3600. It was also done by a tattooer with almost 20 years experience. The quality of it is so perfect that tattooers stop me to look at it. Blackdot is a massive a fail, you literally could not *pay* me to use it.
you made me realize my first tattoo will be 20 soon. Got it at 18 and it looked fine for the first 10-12 years. It still looks okay as it's a trad style tat, but the outlines are very blurred now and the colors are kinda faded. Imagining what the mona lisa looks after 20 years...that's not it. Also I had to chuckle a bit about the copyright comment regarding da Vinci as the concept of copyright was established only well after his death.
Going through comments in the last video just to see you replying to them was so funny imo. Like an easter egg hunt to see how many random topics a pr-tech can get dunked on in.
Yeah, still not gonna spend ten times the money for a robot to do a basic-ass tattoo that an artist could knock out in no time. Only people with more money than sense would do this. 🤦♂️ Looking amazing as always! 😊
I come for the tattoo gossip, see your amazing new do as a bonus 🖤🖤🖤🔥🔥 9k outside of the USA, you could get a lot of your body done for that amount of money. They couldn’t pay me 9k to have it done, I’ll stick to my human tattoo artist thank you. It takes away from the soul of art. Something without soul will never understand art no matter how well it can reproduce it.
That machine makes my claustrophobia scream! I can manage CT scans because they're relatively quick and you're not strapped down. Strapping down my arm to do something is nightmare inducing.
I love tech and i love tattoos but i hate loud noices and medical scenarios. Plus i have claustrophobia, the idea having to be strapped down while this machine is making loud noices, not being able to escape in a white room sounds like the perfect beginning of a horror movie to me lol
(love the new hairstyle!!) My goodness they are literally embarrassing themselves more at this point They pretend to have an answer for every critique, yet keep missing the point. There is no way to “engineer” the tattoo so that it ages well, cause they can’t engineer the skin of each client, how their aging process will look like etc. I was about to choke on my snack when they replied “we won’t have the issue of copying tattoos, the machine doesn’t support ctrl + C, ctrl + V” 💀💀💀
Oof. Now I wonder how that would work. Like what do you sell to people if you're part of the mlm? Do you just become a marketing person for them? Mlm people love to delude themselves into thinking they're their own boss, so I wonder how that would work in this case.
seeing you upload always is a great escape from a hard day. thank you for making this content, I do really appriciate it! And as always you look so stunning, you've been glowing these past few videos!! 💖💖
imagining what a conversation started by a blackdot mona lisa eyes tattoo would be like and it's just somebody going "hey you got a bit of tape stuck on you" and you have to sheepishly turn your arm toward them so they can squint at it like "o-oh, um, actually it's a tattoo..." and then their quietly judgemental "oh." speaks volumes
Gotta love how the evil tech bros have harnessed AI and automation to TAKE AWAY creative jobs from humans, when the whole point was originally to take away menial tasks and allow humans more capacity to pursue art, philosophy and exploration. We live in the worst timeline.

Came here for this exact comment.
And the audacity to claim that their robot that needed seven hours to tattoo a couple inches is up to par with a highly advanced medical equipment
Doctor here! I was gonna comment exactly this. Robot assisted surgery still implies having a surgeon remotely control the machine.

You said "We haven't seen how these tattoos will look ten, twenty years from now." and they really said "oh, yeah? well neither have we!" lmao
😂😂
My 9 month old tattoo still looks fresh as the day it was done, who’d have thought?! 🥴😂 they literally have no idea about tattoos, obviously
That reminds me of a time me and my friends were sitting around busting each other's chops. One friend got called a "1 pump chump" and he clapped back with "I'll have you know I went 3 pumps last time, thank you!"
Them getting mad abt you showing content THEY posted for the world to see is WILDDDD
Blackdot: Oh no no no that’s our testing facility, you didn’t show our studio
The studio: Same room and machine but now there is bisexual lighting.
LOL!!!!!
I am dying. This is gold
As a bisexual, leave us out of this 😂 I don't support it and don't want my colors near that machine!
Omg you're so right 🤣🤣🤣
Omg hahaha to all these replies!
This is a classic example of how not every industry needs to be "disrupted". The only people who would want this are severely out-of-touch rich people.

Right! Like it feels like a rich idiot saying “ew a working/middle class tattoo artist canNOT TOUch mE. I’ll take the robot”
Lmao yes! I live in SF so I ofc see it all the time. Like the guys who realized people needed to get to work quickly,safely, and preferably in a planet conscious way. WELL what if there was an app where ppl in one location could carpool together but larger. Of course they need to be dropped off in one centralized location….A BUS. Y’all disrupted taxis with Uber n Lyft so why not take over public transportation but make it worse! Like I think there was a group wanted it to be those tiny sprinter vans, so it was more exclusive . Like what?!
Until they show me these tattoos in 5 years, I don’t wanna hear them say this will change tattooing. 😒
And even still, micro/fine detail tattoos are a niche style that occupies a very small part of the tattoo industry. It’s giving “nobody asked for this” 😂
Oh nonono, but the 9-month-old is looking great, didn't you hear! It's perfect, it's perfect 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@leftieloosie Fair point 👆
The noises!!! I would rather talk with an artist for 8 hours than hear that clunk clunk clunk
Worse than an MRI machine! And MRI's don't take hours.
It sounds like a typewriter, yet lacks the charm of one.
Hell i'd rather have a tattoo artist that does not speak at all than hear that noise for hours.
Actually if i was forced to choose between the two, id rather chose a rude tattoo artist over that machine, for multiple reasons (wont cost 9 grand, wont be a miniscule tattoo that will end up incomprehensible, giving money to someone that is doing labor instead of going to people who just stand there and look at the machine doing the job*...etc)
So yeah, no machine for me.
*like i know artists are paid for the tattoo they design but yk the whole public domain thing means it doesnt always happen, i also know people have to put on stencils and monitor the machine but they are aiming for it to be oh so safe and self sufficient that it would mean that barely any work is put into it so why even pay? Isnt the point of automated machines that its cheaper, like if i go to a photobooth its not gonna be the same price as a photographer
@@lauraelliott6909 literally just had an MRI on my spine today and i would take that noise over this machine any day lmao
@@lauraelliott6909don't remind me! Those things are awful. And I had this clot in my arm where they injected the contact fluid. It went away on its own but it was freaky all around
'Don't steal my kidney!', the client laughingly jokes, as the machine sounds like it's HACKING OFF HIS ENTIRE ARM
😂😭
About the tiny tattoos: honestly... do they think dainty tattoos age badly because the artist lack technique??? That these will age better? They will only have business until time shows the truth
Seems like it. It also seems like it was maybe set up by people who were too intimidated by tattoo artists to get one, so their solution was to design a machine to do it so they didn't have to speak to someone.
Just like Ephemeral, their time is limited by the results of the tattoo aging. Since it is only really becoming commercial talked about now, the more recent uptick in people getting them as guinea pigs...I give it probably 2-4 years before we see an influx of "this is how my BlackDot tattoo healed" vids. That's if the owner doesn't shut up shop when his tattoo turns into a smudge.
@@hawkeyescoffee6399 well put! sadly, a few years might be enough to get them rich..? maybe they don't care about their sustainability beyond that. And then they drop it (like you said, like ephemeral) but all their customers have to deal with the aftermath
@@hawkeyescoffee6399 I think they saw that a lot of tattoo artists refuse or talk people out of a tiny highly detailed tattoo and thought it was a skill issue without understanding the actual reason
Also uhm.. do they really believe that??? Do they really think that? Are they even tattoo artists or just businessmen who want to have some big bucks?
It's kind of cool that I actually have knowledge that corresponds to something in the video. I'm a certified sterilization tech, which decontaminates and sterilizes surgical instruments, including the surgical robotic arms. The arms themselves are fully detached after surgery to be decontaminated through a fairly rigorous process. They are checked to see if they are damaged in any way. They even have a built-in indicator for when they are no longer operable. Once decontaminated, they are once again examined to see if they are clean and undamaged/fully functioning. They are then sterilized in high temp steam autoclaves before being used again. The surgeons/surgical techs themselves would also visually inspect the test the tools to make sure they're safe. Something tells me this tech startup in a less heavily regulated field isn't doing as rigorous maintenance 🤔
Love the new hairstyle, btw 😍
Ah your comment is so so helpful!!! Thank you 🩷
@@treacletatts Happy to help! 😊
"i'd love to be this level of delulu but we can't always be blessed like that" sent me into ORBIT, had a right chuckle 😆
Right? My life would be so much better if I was this delulu.
Omg I was literally trying to put into words the sentiment when she said it! Delulu is 100% the vibe
New hairstyle just dropped 🔥🔥
I am living for the fringe
I'm the person that made the microrealism comment and it's really funny that they responded to me by assuming that microrealism "wasn't my taste." Like, that's not the problem. The problem is that they were acting like they were doing types of tattoos normal artists can't do, which is very obviously false. Interesting how they glossed over my clearly stated point there and acted like MY taste in tattoos was the issue.
A design is SOLD OUT? How the Hell does a program for a computer that should be able to recreate over and over again...Sell out of a design? It's not a finite thing. What the actual fuck?
It's manufactures scarcity.
It's JUST a sales grift working off of fomo. Like "ooo better jump on the one you like cause they sell out fast"
It's lies and bullshit from the company.
like DAMN???' at least with physical merch you're getting something out of it, manufactured scarcity still sucks but there's SOMETHING actually tangible i can get there, how does anyone fall for manufactured scarcity on a copypasted design!!
I wonder if it’s something to do with the stupid f*king NFTs they were selling with each design? Like, that’s how it “sells out” 🙄
a tech bro trick to try and trick people into thinking something is rare to prompt them to buy it, it works on idiots and instagram influencers and other tech bros. its a flash tat......its copy paste into a program that prints it on you, yknow. Honestly if its only richkids losing money on this, idc. i hope everyone else is smarter and chooses to drop thousands of dollars on something with more value than a gimmick for a tiktok or insta post. once all the techbros and instagirlies see something else new and shiny, theyll be off on that new trend and wont be repeat customers of blackdot. i cant see them lasting very long.
They’re also nuts. PLENTY of small artists who aren’t tattoo artists will literally just sell you a license to get their art tattooed on you. That’s a thing you can just…do. No robot required, and it can be larger than 6”x2”!
As an amateur artist, I have done the occasional comission for tattoos before. It's not that hard to find someone who does this. I assure you small artists like me will be more than happy to give/sell you permission to get their artwork tattooed or even do something custom for you (in case you don't want it done by the tattoo artists for whatever reason). So basically, I agree with you and Blackdot is out of their mind!
My friend pretty much exclusively gets there tattoos done that way.
they banned me a while ago for going on their page and replying to people asking about appointments to contact one of the many amazing local artist in austin to get a tattoo.
* not shocked * 😂
You were doing god’s work 😂 that’s incredible
Ha! Can see why they banned you, but that's hysterical 😂
Hope you convinced enough people to go get decent work done
a righteous ban, congrats
i just think it's hilarious how a company that boasts about their "great technology" is SO tech illiterate that they don't know they can just edit a comment, instead of basically writing the same thing twice lmaoooo
(wait you can edit on mobile?? I'm on Firefox and there's only delete options.)
@@thenopedetectiveFor some very odd reason, TH-cam is limited in a browser.
If I see a video on the sidebar that I may want to watch later, I can save it to a playlist if I'm using the mobile app. Browsers only allow watch later (unless anything has changed in the last few days).
@@thenopedetectiveon the TH-cam app you can get edit comments after you’ve posted them, pretty sure you can do it on a browser as well. Press the three buttons all the way to the right
@@thenopedetective if they could delete only, then they could copy the comment, then delete it, then edit it, and post it, instead of posting twice. I think that maybe to hard for them to do though.
The only way this will take off is if it is significantly cheaper than a regular tattoo. There’s a reason exclusive experiences come with custom concierge service. It’s because people pay more for a personal touch.
I dont understand why they can't understand that you cant "engineer" a tattoo to heal better and last longer unless you change the medium its going in, but you cant because its fricken skin. You cant engineer my body to not metabolize and slowly fade the ink away or migrate the ink under my skin. 🤦♀️
Exactly this! Neither can you control the variances between that medium on different people. eg My skin LOVES colour but spreads black. Other people I know lose colour first and fast but their black looks almost exactly at it did the day it was done. Then there are allergy issues. Even the best tattoo artist can only control so much of the outcome.
@@writeonshell The fact they can't see that people are an uncontrollable variable. We aren't paper. This just shows me they have little knowledge on how actual tattoos work and I'm scared what horror stories might come from these machines in the future 😬 I hope no one gets seriously hurt
@@AshChiCupcak Right. I mean I wonder if they've tested it on more melanated skin too. Given the typical lack of care for people of colour in the tech field, I can probably guess. So many variables because we're talking human bodies that can be extremely different despite the similarities and that need individual attention - even from one piece of a body to another piece on that same body.
@@writeonshell Now that you mention it, I don't remember seeing a single person that wasn't white in all their promo photos and videos. Way to alienate a large chuck of potential clients. Honestly, probably for the best. This whole thing seems too dangerous to be run by people who aren't taking the time to learn about the craft. I hope it closes down before there are any accidents.
I feel like this would be more like chemical engineering breakthroughs on the actual pigment itself
I don't understand how their marketing team didn't stop them from making all these comments. They can't honestly think that arguing with people in youtube comments is going to help people's opinion of their concept?
Also, they keep comparing apples to oranges. The one early on about how people were upset at the way the company was referring to tattoo artists, and their skill, and instead of addressing that they just say 'well we do other styles too'... not the point.
tech bros don't have marketing teams, they think they know better
The comments might actually be coming from their marketing team. They don't care about our opinions. Arguing with people in the comments increases engagement and makes people aware they exist. They want to reach their target market: rich people who aren't educated about tattoos and are willing to pay a ridiculous amount of money for an "exclusive" experience and a tiny tattoo that will look terrible in 5 years.
they probably think they don’t need a marketing team because the ceo is clever and the tech will prove itself, like many other tech startups
All these comments are exactly correct. They don't value marketing just like they don't value artists.
I suspect this WAS their marketing team. Not a good one. But still.
It's giving "person who handles social media but has no training / little experience."
Those surgical robots are remotely controlled by a surgeon, so the comparison doesn't actually compare at all.
As someone who’s had 3 MRIs, I definitely get the clinical feels. The sounds are very reminiscent of the banging sounds I’d hear in an MRI machine
Exactly! They need to provide clients with the headphones they usually give to those undergoing MRI. Or better yet, they should just stop this ridiculousness.
Omg yes! I knew those noises sounded familiar!
Yup! Don't want to hear that again.
$9000 is literally 14 months worth of rent for me. They are insane with these prices.
Holy moly, where do you live? $9000 is about 4 months rent in my area. (Queensland Australia)
for me in helsinki, finland also about a years worth. (more or less, obviously we don't use $ here)
saaaame! $800 a month here, electricity and water/sewage included. And I live in an "expencive" country (Norway)
Lol um its 30 months of rent for me
what the heck, i live in a trailer park and i pay $1200 a month to park my trailer here😭
Engineering doesn't automatically provide an understanding of human immune systems or how the body reacts to small ink particles over time. This business is treating human skin like fake skin, using a glorified printer and all.
This tech looks like it would work better in indirect contact with humans situations.
you can't control for variability in the human body no matter how precise and "skilled" anyone is...bot or human
Reminds me of a 3D printer... the only difference is that it is ink into skin.
My first reaction was "ALREADY?!"
Hard same lol.
To be honest I thought it'd take at least a few more months.
Beat me to it!
Same! So it must be pretty salacious!
the level of defensiveness is such a red flag!!!!
p.s. I LOVE the fringe, you look amazing
Ty lovely 🩷
I’ve had to get MRIs for chronic migraines and the MRI machine looks more welcoming and is less noisy
omg living for the bangs they’re such a slay
Same. I love the new hair and make-up
One point I haven’t seen raised is “what happens if there’s a fire..?”
With a traditional tattoo environment you can just get wrapped and evacuate. What about in a Blackdot environment? Sit and wait for a firey death? 🔥🔥🔥
Additionally so since it’s a huge feck-off machine instead of an itty bitty mechanical pen
Definitely medical vibes, especially when the tattoo device sounds like a toned-down MRI machine.
I thought of an MRI machine too! And to be strapped to that with that noise for how many hours?!
Yeah the sounds are AWFUL would much prefer regular tattoo studio chatter
the way they replied to every single comment is SO EMBARRASSING omg. how do they have the time to reply to every comment on “that youtuber”s video
we know how much business they must be having if they're replying to everything!
THIS TH-camR has a drop dead gorgeous new haircut 🌹
Ty bb 😂🩷
Tbf the Mona Lisa was public domain as soon as Leo took it out of his studio, they didn't have copyright laws, and copying other artists, especially the masters, were essential in teaching art. But the point stands :)
Also, it's so funny and defensive they are abt this "TH-camr", they clearly try to be derisive, but they are the ones throwing tantrums in YOUR comments, so which is it? Are you worth listening too, or just a rando on the internet? Seems they think you're the former, otherwise they'd just ignored and moved on.
You look stunning as always, love the hair😊
What jumps out at me about them “engineering their tattoos for longevity” is that if they actually figured out how to make tattoos last without spreading or otherwise deteriorating, *that* technology would be what their investments and PR would be about, not getting a tattoo from a robot. From a purely money perspective, that would be revolutionary enough by itself to set them up for life.
Spot on. If they were able to stop the body from rejecting the ink over time, that would be groundbreaking. Ground breaking enough that I would get a glow up on every tatt that I have.
Business rules:
- Know your market
- Learn the rules before you break them
- Don't be messy on TH-cam
I think there's always room for innovation in every industry. Robotics in the tattoo industry COULD have a place and could be an interesting idea. But the way they have gone about their business is to separate themselves from the industry, belittle the artists and the wearer's, and not add anything of value to anyone.
I think for reconstruction like re-adding nipples after mastectomy or tattooing over scars and stretch marks would be a great application and possibly covered by insurance too.
"I had an inkling" ... We see what you did there lol
Surgical machines are controlled by surgeons. They don’t just load up a program and hit go. So they’re not going to start doing random things, and if something does go wrong they’ll notice immediately and can compensate. As opposed to hoping the person across the room on their phone notices their printer is malfunctioning.
If they think this is approachable in anyway ( environment, price and execution) then I would be scared to see how approachable them and their "friends" are
They're probably arguing why we shouldn't pick the bear 😂😂
🤣 I would let the bear bite me rather then let the machine tattoo me
Ever since they’ve embarrassed themselves in the comments of that video, I’ve been waiting for this response 😹🤣
The sounds are awful too 💀 I’ve got stimulation issues and that noise would make me freak out for sure. It’s so weird and impersonal…
the hair is giving rockstar vibes!!!!! you look gorgeous (as always of course)
Ty my love 🥹
Omg I love the bangs on you.
Recently I’ve been insecure about having black hair with bangs, but now I love them again!
Yessss own them 😍🩷
For real. I already have bangs, but they started growing out and now they're in that awkward "too long to be comfortable on my forehead but too short to put behind the ears" phase.
Lauren makes me want to grab a pair of shears 😂
They're getting a downfall video already? Feels right but damn that was fast.
There was a tattoo convention in my city this weekend. I love going, meeting new artists, getting a few tattoos, chatting with artists and enthusiasts, listening to music. It's an assembly for appreciating art, and I could never imagine Black Dot or robot tattooing ever having a place there.
Lauren, them reducing you to “that TH-camr” shows how much you actually affected them. 👍😆❤️
Always a great look when a company has to fight in the comments and go, "nah uh! We are good!"
Like if your product/company can't stand critism, it's probably not a good product
it's like those wearable """"AI"""" devices, legit I saw a techbro who owned a startup or something cry on threads at how people are mean to a product and that "bad products aren't allowed to just exist". That's called capitalism babe, it's not always fair but why do you expect a participation trophy just because you're arrogant enough to definitively claim "iNOvaTIVE" ? just because the media is lining up to give them BJ's over their AI toys doesn't mean the consumers will.
I can't believe that not one of them stopped to think about why us artists don't cram so much detail into such a small space... "the way they tattoo" isn't going to change how ink spreads on skin... it's so unpredictable yet they think they've got everything good and down from a 9-month trial tattoo... yeah okay I'd rather spend that 9k on a hardworking artist not some gunshot sounding robot.
I haven't gotten to that part yet or I missed it, but that's it?? Just 9 months??
@@msjkramey they claim the mona lisa tattoo looks great after 9 months, deeming their tattoo ways have longevity.. i’d like to see it in 5 years.
When self service checkouts still don't know when theres a bag in the bagging area, why would you trust a machine to safely stab you?! I don't believe anyone is relaxed enough in that situation to fall asleep..
Wow i hate this so much and they have no idea what they are talking about when it comes to robotic surgery. First of all cardiac surgery is not done robotically. Not yet at least. Also robotic surgery is not autonomous. There is a surgeon sitting behind a control panel controlling every move.
A surgical robot knicked a capillary in my dad's brain during surgery, causing a brain bleed that gave him stroke like symptoms for over a year. He went from a completely happy and independent 65 year old, to someone who depended on me for everything. Luckily since it was a brain bleed it resolved after a year, so he's back better than ever with a real appreciation of life, but like. Even surgery robots make mistakes.
That’s so scary. I’m glad he recovered and is doing well now.

I'm kind of concerned that they may not have tested it on different kinds of skin, texture and body types. A big thing in the tattoo industry is covering up a scar with a tattoo or helping someone heal after losing a limb by creating a tattoo. Something tells me that this machine will not be able to tattoo on unique body types or body parts.
It can already only tattoo on flat areas. No way it can handle scars. Or anything that's not strictly flat.
That's probably also why these things are tiny.
My thought as well. I'm still waiting to see a finished tattoo on non-white skin.. did BlackDot take that into consideration?
I had an ovarian cyst a few years back, and the images of their "tattoo studio" remind me strongly of being wheeled into a scanner on a hospital bed. (I'm fine now, btw.) That is NOT an environment I would want to voluntarily get artwork done in. Who is this even marketed to?
BTW, you're looking fabulous today! I love your hair.
OMG they replied to me too, I didn't realise! I saw the notif and was like "Who's this dud? Whatever"
The noise from a machine reminds me very strongly of an MRI machine. Have you ever had to get an MRI? They are VERY loud. Like, technicians putting earplugs in your ears with over-ear protection loud. Now, it's clear that their super special tattoo machine is not nearly that loud and disruptive, but as someone who is sensitive to loud sounds, it looks like a very expensive way for me to get a migraine.
They actually replied to my comment on your video too. So Micro aggressive for a company claiming their glorified printer is superior to human hands. 😂 mak3s sense though, seeing as as they're known for a Micro Lisa 😂😂
Blackdot commented that “they can do larger tattoos as well.” If they’re already charging THOUSANDS for a tiny tattoo, how much would a large one cost???
Love the hair change! You’re always so pretty and stylish ❤
You’re too kind 🥹🩷
OMG...the clinical setting, being strapped down! the lights actually made me feel uneasy, & then the noises!!! the noises gave me so much anxiety & that's just a video, can't imagine in-person! 😱😭
Edit: the machine doesn't follow copy/paste commands...🤔 maybe not, but the person inputting the art into the machine can & already has proven so with the art already available; they've only gotten permission or used public domain so far 🙄...also, if they consider anyone who might have a different opinion of their invention than them rude & can't take a bit of teasing from skeptics, then they seem pretty immature to me 🤷♀️
Same, it made me feel lightheaded 😮
Those SOUNDS!!! It's like getting an MRI!
In addition to being cold, clinical and LONELY, I could NEVER stand the environment alone, let alone those SOUNDS!!!
Give me the hilarious conversations going on in my local studio, the eclectic mix of tunes going in the background, and my artist with me, giving me updates, checking in on me, and making me feel safe and comfortable, ANY DAY!!
the fact that they're defending themselves when "clients" are basically paying $5000 to have a 'mole '.... within the next 5years? ... unhinged, if i do say so myself
Unhinged, darling! whoever was replying to the comments should be so embarrassed
I need tech bros to stop venturing into other territories.
another reason being strapped into this machine is dangerous…dangerous happenings inside or outside the facility…..blackdot is made by & used by people who don’t know anything ab tattoos
I can imagine them withering away, going grey on deaths door in 2yrs time trying to get this to work, hunched over a table like a gremlin muttering 'I will show her'
That's how bothered they are about you talking about them, they didn't like us agreeing with you either 😂 they're doing too much haha.
Thanks for showing my comment! I was shocked when they started replying to everyone.
Surgical nurse here....a robotic surgery is not done by a robot. It's controlled by a human being sitting in the same room. Additionally there is a team of people scrubbed in assisting the surgeon while they are sitting at the controls. It's more like a remote controlled car than a "robot". It does nothing without human input. If anything goes wrong(which I've never seen by the way) they would troubleshoot the machine instantly. Plus these machines are multimillion dollar machines that have been around for 15-20 years by now. They aren't brand new technology.
To compare the blackdot machine to robotic surgery shows that they have no idea what they are talking about and how delusional they are.
I even got to use one in a the medical museum (can't remember the proper name) in Edinburgh!
@@Char10tti3 really? They are really cool. It must have been a discontinued/early model. Those things are crazy expensive so u don't they purchased a new one.
Your hair, outfit, jewelry, nails …all perfect!
If they had taken a look at the rest of your channel they might learn something. People regretting hyper realistic tattoos that turned into black blobs is a theme at this point
What I find interesting, and lining up with the strapping down, is that it restricts the areas they can tattoo on. Like, the examples we have seen so far have been on the flat area of the arm. How is that gonna tattoo like on the curve of a shoulder, or neck?! Their whole set up is extremely limited.
That's one of the most ridiculous things about all of this - they claim that their machine can do things that are impossible for human tattoo artists, but their machine can only tattoo on flat surfaces!
the only way I can see that working is you're retrained buy this robotic apparatus which rotates/moves you similar to how a tattoo artist might get you adjust position...which I don't have to tell you is the deranged scenario of nightmares.
Genuinely, i dont think they care, i think they're just trying to infiltrate the industry to try and line their pockets. Like we see those prices, $9k for a 6" tattoo??? That's *insane*. Or like $1k to $3k for tattoos half that size? Lemme tell ya, some of the tattoos that are available are similar in size to some of mine and i think the most expensive one i have is like $400 because it's the biggest one. Insane. I would never.
My 3d printer had glitched and just froze mid print. I cant imagine a tattoo machine glitching out and getting stuck in my skin. Or stabbing to deep. Technology still has issuse so no way in hell im ever trusting skynet with my skin.
The robot looks like a radiotherapy treatment machine. Not my bag at all.
These answers SCREAM that their social media person is around 20 and has NO experience because we no longer respect experience.
I appreciate how you correct yourself when you accidentally say something wrong. I wish more content creators were like that!
The noises of that machine and how they strap people down are giving off heavy final destination vibes
yeees i was impatient about this upload!! the owners are definilty very insecure and ignorant, them ridiculing themselves like that is just peak comedy, ill be bringing popcorn for their response lol

I got my **whole lower leg** from my foot to just above my knee tattooed in colour for $3600. It was also done by a tattooer with almost 20 years experience. The quality of it is so perfect that tattooers stop me to look at it.
Blackdot is a massive a fail, you literally could not *pay* me to use it.
you made me realize my first tattoo will be 20 soon. Got it at 18 and it looked fine for the first 10-12 years. It still looks okay as it's a trad style tat, but the outlines are very blurred now and the colors are kinda faded.
Imagining what the mona lisa looks after 20 years...that's not it.
Also I had to chuckle a bit about the copyright comment regarding da Vinci as the concept of copyright was established only well after his death.
The bangs are so adorable! They definitely suit you darling!
Going through comments in the last video just to see you replying to them was so funny imo. Like an easter egg hunt to see how many random topics a pr-tech can get dunked on in.
Yeah, still not gonna spend ten times the money for a robot to do a basic-ass tattoo that an artist could knock out in no time. Only people with more money than sense would do this. 🤦♂️
Looking amazing as always! 😊
This has got to be the most hilarious tattoo gimmick so far! Love your deep dives, Lauren 💖💖💖
I come for the tattoo gossip, see your amazing new do as a bonus 🖤🖤🖤🔥🔥 9k outside of the USA, you could get a lot of your body done for that amount of money. They couldn’t pay me 9k to have it done, I’ll stick to my human tattoo artist thank you. It takes away from the soul of art. Something without soul will never understand art no matter how well it can reproduce it.
That machine makes my claustrophobia scream! I can manage CT scans because they're relatively quick and you're not strapped down. Strapping down my arm to do something is nightmare inducing.
I love tech and i love tattoos but i hate loud noices and medical scenarios. Plus i have claustrophobia, the idea having to be strapped down while this machine is making loud noices, not being able to escape in a white room sounds like the perfect beginning of a horror movie to me lol
(love the new hairstyle!!)
My goodness they are literally embarrassing themselves more at this point
They pretend to have an answer for every critique, yet keep missing the point. There is no way to “engineer” the tattoo so that it ages well, cause they can’t engineer the skin of each client, how their aging process will look like etc.
I was about to choke on my snack when they replied “we won’t have the issue of copying tattoos, the machine doesn’t support ctrl + C, ctrl + V” 💀💀💀
okay I am now 100% that blackdot is an MLM
They are using the lingo. First they come for my nail art, now my tattoos. Goons
Bahaha
Oof. Now I wonder how that would work. Like what do you sell to people if you're part of the mlm? Do you just become a marketing person for them? Mlm people love to delude themselves into thinking they're their own boss, so I wonder how that would work in this case.
seeing you upload always is a great escape from a hard day. thank you for making this content, I do really appriciate it! And as always you look so stunning, you've been glowing these past few videos!! 💖💖

They say "making tattoos approachable for everyone." But then make a classist pricetag that is most people's monthly salary
I did the maths in my head, and 9k is something like a year and a halfs worth of my mortgage payments. Crazy money
imagining what a conversation started by a blackdot mona lisa eyes tattoo would be like and it's just somebody going "hey you got a bit of tape stuck on you" and you have to sheepishly turn your arm toward them so they can squint at it like "o-oh, um, actually it's a tattoo..." and then their quietly judgemental "oh." speaks volumes
People who know absolutely nothing about tattooing/the human body trying to commoditize tattoos 🙇♀️🤦♀️
Lauren! The bangs! They look amazing, I love the layers, they look both edgy and soft and compliment your face so nicely

Gotta love how the evil tech bros have harnessed AI and automation to TAKE AWAY creative jobs from humans, when the whole point was originally to take away menial tasks and allow humans more capacity to pursue art, philosophy and exploration. We live in the worst timeline.
