I can imagine the reaction the current tattoo machines was something very similar to the over all feeling here. I'd imagine there were ppl who completely balked at the early tattoo machines much the same way. Hell Henry Ford asked my great great grandfather to help him build cars, which he declined saying cars would never last or catch on. History is filled with similar stories and history always repeats itself because people won't listen or learn. It will be interesting to see how this develops, buying in on this 100% would be no more short sighted then dismissing it completely. Again I've no interest right now to have this thing tattoo me, but to dismiss this as unacceptable or impossible..Well that's short sighted as hell based on history(even tattooing history).
