Computer Generated Tattoo

I’m not heavily into tattoos, but this post (admittedly from a few weeks ago) did strike me as a pretty good use of computer graphics. If you forget the effort needed to generate a CG likeness of the person. And the fact this idea won’t save the world.

But for those who would like a tattoo, but aren’t sure, or even those who would just like to see what a tattoo would look like on them, this application seems blindingly obvious. An example of a good idea just staring you in the face, maybe.

I guess it just needs a few more years of development to make the process quicker and more accessible/affordable, and whether the idea has potential in other areas too.

The software was developed by computer graphics artist Loic Zimmermann.
