Maybe this technology can be adapted to replace a less environmentally friendly process?

....but wait a minute..... as someone so actively in favor of ink and piercing -both "useless" adornments, isn't it a little rich to criticise others for seeking new ways to decorate their environment?

perhaps, although I don't really concede the analogy. I'm certainly in favor of decorative arts and more beauty in the world. I was more thinking of the engineering and software that went into this thing, which is far more complex than the application of needles to flesh.

and I fully acknowledge that people, including me, spend vast amounts of time and energy on useless stuff. I'm still amazed, though.

A. Anthropomorphic global warming is a farce.

B. This device is a machine to allow a person to create art, using an egg and colored pens, instead of a canvas and paint brushes. So all art is useless then??

Each axis is controlled by a stepper motor. Stepping and testicles, should not be used in the same sentence. :headshake

I think any sentence with stepping and testicles would have quite a wring to it....
