Questioning Your Faith? Tattoo Robot Will Randomly Assign You A Religion

GEEK
By Ryan Whitwam

Auto Ink is not just a robot, and it’s not just art. It’s an automated sculpture designed to tattoo human skin. This is definitely not the kind of thing you’re likely to come across at the to local tattoo parlor, largely because the user of the Auto Ink can’t choose what tattoo to get. As designed by artist Chris Eckert, the Auto Ink tattoos a randomly selected religious icon on the person’s forearm. The device is actually a three axis cartesian robot, meaning that each of its three motors are at right angles to each other. He also points out, perhaps with a smirk, that the religious designs are assigned randomly, or divinely inspired depending on your beliefs. [link]
