Can't help but notice Tattoo TV shows are becoming somewhat popular. There are competition shows, bad tattoo cover-up shows, tattoo parlor makeover shows... Anyway, watching these various shows three consistencies become apparent - Incompetence is common Tattoos tend to hurt more than just a little bit The environment is often less than sterile I can't help but wonder if we couldn't improve upon the process. Consider this - Pick your image Apply topical analgesic Activate the iTattoo app Honestly though, can't we come up with a better means of making a permanent mark on one's body?
