    no pain - no gain?

    http://blog.wired.com/games/2008/07/...pac-man-s.html

    looks mad but with some emla cream (numbing) and some glass (hold skin flatter) i'd try it but only after testing on a chicks breast first!

    wrong, so very very wrong, that must hurt/itch like crazy.

    I wounder if there are any long term issues thou? I'd of thought this might actually be healther in many ways than a tattoo as it dosen't go so deep.

    Industrial laser etching onto your skin... if that doesn't cause cancer then I'm astonished.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    Granted i'm no biologist, but i thought skin cancer was a result of the UV frequencies?

    I'd of thought a technology like this could be designed to just burn the very top layer, actually burning off the skin effected?

    well I so nearly bought one of those machines back in my baybus days (to laser etch acrylic windows)
    and they are very precisely controlled - both x,y & Z axis the depth of cut is dependant on 2 factors the lasers power and the material . As far as cancer goes I doubt the wavelength of red lasers gonna cause that. seems like it would mainly do temp marks on skin if use as per video. but a higher power could be more damaging/permanent.

    Lol this is awesome.


    I would be far more worried about them not wearing eye protection... from the safety side of things.. visible lasers cant cause cancers.. worst they can do is burn/cut your arm off...
