No matter how experienced you are at being inked, it’s always pretty nerve-wracking knowing the finished product will stay with you for the rest of your life. With that in mind, would you be brave enough to let a robot do the inking instead of a human? In a world-first, Dutch actress Stijn Fransen has received a tattoo from a robotic arm controlled by an artist that was far, far away. The feat was performed in conjunction with network provider T-Mobile Netherlands as a demonstration of its new 5G network, which was used to control the procedure. While you may think Fransen is braver than most, robots have been trusted with things as important as surgery for years already. Robotic arms controlled by surgeons on site have been utilized in extremely complex surgeries, and last year a surgeon made history performing a procedure remotely on a cadaver from the comfort of his own home. So, if surgeons can do it, why can’t tattoo artists?
