Ok here's an idea I got recently while talking to tattoo man. Miss ya tattoo. For a number of years now doctors have been removing tattos with lasers. Why not do that in reverse? Why not crank up the power a notch and use it to make brands? By varying the output of the laser, or running it over the same spot repeatedly, you could have varying ammounts of scar, or color. If you hook up a co2 laser to a couple of computer controlled mirrors, and focus it to a tiny spot, and make sure the persons body part is strapped in place so it doesn't move, the computer could render *photographic quality images* on someone. And there would be almost no time to heal, no worry about dirty needles, no worry about the colors fading. I really think im gonna build this one, just because I want a unique tattoo. Dont wanna be cliche. But like i said earlier, trying this yourself would be stupid. dont. I mean it. really. dont think about it, unless you wonna help me with it, in which case cool.
