A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

    Fucking WOW!!!!!!!!! Being in the army you see a lot of crazy shit get done to one another here, but I’ll be damned if that’s the most amazing thing I’ve seen since I’ve been in. I don’t think it would heal like regular style branding. I think it would heal to look like more of a relly bad self done tan experiment for about maybe a year. But I could be wrong. I usually am. But you never know. I said I’d never join the army, oh well to that one.

    I would really like to see the healed results. I also wonder how long it lasts. If it does last, it’s really really really awesome, because it’s far more accurate than a human being could ever be 😛

    I would have to disagree with that. Humans can make a better than a computer that does exactly what it’s told. A human can tell the difference from where it should and shouldn’t tattoo. A human can stop when the person is having trouble holding still, a computer would keep going and create a horrible mark. A human can work around the persons body shape and figure. A computer would streak where it shouldn’t, and I don’t know. I’m just very against any huge serious work done by a computer on a human body. Which is why I’m against surgeries being done by computers and machines. That’s just a very bad thing to me. If it’s something done to me that’s not that serious done on my body like the laser work doesn’t bother me, but that’s if the machine was being controled by a human, not a computer. If something’s being controled by a human, then no problem. But if it’s just straight computer, and machine; big problem to me. That’s just me I guess.

    but noah, they can make computers that circumvent every single problem you listed them as having.
