Animated Tattoos And The Creative Genius Behind Them

[neocell]

Man, I don't know if this is an April Fool's article or not, but christ did it make me laugh.

Short Bio of one of the Inventors:

Carl A. Pinter has been a traditional tattoo artist for 13 years. He gave himself his first tattoo at the age of 15 with a modified power drill and some iron filings. "I wanted to print my name, my full name, Carl A. Pinter, across my arm in a military font. At that age I was wanting to be in the service and I thought it would look cool. All that pain and Bud Dry...I passed out halfway through. I never finished it. My arm says 'CARL A'...and it's kinda crooked."

Both Singer and Pinter were reluctant to give a lot of details about the procedure. As Pinter put it, "...it's not really legal in the strictest sense of the word."

Pinter continues, "The hardest part is fishing those wires through to connect all three pieces. If I'm gonna screw it up, it'll be on that part. ... Then you hook her up, power her up, sew those cuts up and it's Miller time."

Singer dodged specific questions about particular dangers associated with animated tattoos, but Pinter did say, "We don't really talk about the batteries a lot. If anything in this contraption is gonna make you balloon out with hundreds of tumors it's gonna be that battery rig. But we don't really know for sure. That's not going in the article is it?"

Reading it totally reminded me of Dean and Terry (FUBAR)

So anyone up for it?

Thats so stupid.
I mean, if your going to something that drastic, GO ALL OUT!
Im going to open a tatto parlor. If you bring in your iPod I'll shove it under your skin. How cool would that be? Just trace your finger on your arm to activate the clickwheel.

Seriusly, it's a hoax.

Fun fact: I used the word "your" five times. Opps, six now.
