tattoos whether you love them or hate them there are three aspects to tattoos
that often deter people from getting them the pain the price and the
commitment kind of sounds like a bad relationship I myself love tattoos I
have four and definitely plan on getting more in the future personally I believe
tattoos are a awesome art form and a great way of expressing yourself and
body positivity as tattoos become more and more mainstream there are different
companies that are popping up that are providing different options for people
who are looking to get something that is a little less permanent and a little
less painful this is a tattoo printer
the first temporary tattoo machine that
you can use on yourself to print temporary tattoos I suppose let's just
get to unboxing we have a USB cable
assuming this is the cover for the tattoo printer this is the machine it's
really cute prinker has two different types of of printers
the M which is the one we have here which is the personal use printer and
then they also have the series s which is the professional use one in for the
middle that was not the middle
now as every good unboxing goes we must
start with the manual the printer M kit comes with a skin guide
the prinker machine colored ink which is YMC also very
commonly seen in print media and printing and then a skin primer which
you use before and after you print the tattoos within the app it looks like
there are tattoo options which they provide in
case you don't necessarily want to design a tattoo for yourself and just
want to tattoo something on a whim lots of options here lots of options they
have a liked page in case you want to
come back to doing a tattoo later or maybe you're going to a festival and
want to save a few designs before the festival actually starts you have an
upload and draw option so for someone like me who's a graphic designer and
want to experiment with tattoo designs before maybe potentially actually
getting them tattooed I feel like this would be a good option but let's see how
it prints probably shouldn't do that
yeah it smells kind of nice it's kind of
got like a florally scent to it so if I remember correctly I think the
colored cartridges don't print black so we might only be able to print color
tattoos today which is fun because I don't have any colored tattoos maybe I
should have looked at a tutorial before I just open this
yeah let's let's let's guess it it looks
like there's a little opening here there we go and this
maybe this isn't as easy as just inserting the cartridge there it was
okay we're in okay I've turned it on I'm excited to
try this it's really cute like this is super convenient you can take it with
you wherever you want to go well I'm kind of a sucker for spot gloss and this
like emboss right here is very spot gloss-esque it's super clean it feels
ergonomic like it's kind of got a handheld curve in here The Branding is
cute aside from the name as prior disgust do I get started should I start
printing I have had this tattoo idea in
mind for a really long time so I'm going to download
the Google dinosaur I'm interested to see if this can like Auto remove
backgrounds this one is apparently a PNG but it's
definitely not those darn fake pngs with
the checkered background
drives me crazy oh it says you can add it to public or adult content I really
want to look at that
notice upload is complete all right I'm
aware there are some limitations to this printer the designs that I've seen so
far people using are very long and narrow designs rather than like doing a
huge ARM piece or a huge thigh piece you're kind of limited in that aspect so
in measurements you can do 18 millimeters wide and a thousand
millimeters long how long would that be like down my
entire ARM a thousand millimeters well that's
that's a meter yeah okay so you could technically do your entire ARM or like
you could do a long strip of your back so to get started I'm going to spray my
ARM oh maybe I shouldn't leave this like that
it is magnetic that's really nice
it doesn't say how many sprays I just did three
oh it's sticky oh I don't like that
ew it's really sticky oh it's giving me the battery percentage
do I hold the button nope nothing's happening
oh that was easy uh do I need to I guess I have to clean
the nozzle now it doesn't say in the manual that we need to clean the
filter or anything first but it's not
letting me tattoo so this is what we're doing stick the device to paper
underneath Press Start then Glide is there a start button is that my issue
no oh well here oh press this
it's early
whoa do you see that art we should sell this
oh do you think I can just start now
no I've been branded
I'm doing everything it's asking me to do
so these tattoos thankfully are washable
with soap and water so I don't have to be branded forever however if you do
want your tattoo to last it is water resistant and should last between one to
three days I just want a dinosaur on my body what do I need to do
it's just giving me information oh I needed to scroll is it this one
you just needed to scroll my first recommendation would be a finer
spray nozzle on this because right now it kind of just sprays in like really
chunky spritzes
let's try this with my non-dominant hand press oh okay here we go
is it is it dead okay that's another downside to this machine it was at 26
before it printed it printed this and now it's dead so speaking of battery
life the printer should last between four to five hours for us
it didn't last that long oh it's so little
did you see that it barely looks like anything it's just like a little smudge
no we got that beauty right here okay it's very important that you put the
cartridge cap on the printer and your app will remind you let's see if I have
something on my iPad
it gives you different scales so you can do 50 70 or a hundred percent
of the scale of your artwork but if it's super small you can't increase the size
ah I have the perfect thing this
this is the best thing I've ever designed in my entire life
and I'm going to print it on myself it's
nice that uploading artwork is pretty easy it's just the whole scale thing
that's kind of an inconvenience no cartridge detected
did you take it
yeah literally speaking up uh the ink cartridge should
last up to a thousand different tattoo designs and to my knowledge
we have not done nearly that many press prank oh here there we go
oh that's a long boy see that he's so long
does that mean I need to go slower you think
yeah faster oh yeah maybe faster because
the primer is sticky you can actually see the marks of the the rollers on your
skin too because I think it's like peeling up or sticking to the primer uh
okay I'm gonna try here again but a little bit faster oh there we go
there we go wow that's pretty good cute
you can definitely see the individual colors they combine pretty well to make
it black but not as cleanly as I'm sure
using just like the black ink cartridge would be so it's time for me to enlist
the help of our thumbnail artist Maria to help me design some tattoos for
a few of the people around here at LMG before we have fun tattooing we recently
got an opportunity to partner with Paradox the sponsor of this video they're the team behind City skylines
and Stellaris but I wanted to take a minute to talk about Crusader Kings 3.
you can play free this weekend starting on the 11th and going to the 15th ck3 is
a medieval strategy game where things get so unhinged it's probably not safe
for me to repeat the Steam Reviews here on camera if you don't believe me feel
free to look for yourself there's a link below play the role of ruler raise taxes
face the Betrayal of one of your seven children and then become your son just
like any other weekend again Crusader Kings 3 is free to play this weekend
click the link below and try it out for yourself what would you tattoo on
yourself uh I really like like plants like yeah I
have flowers
similar do you want me to give you a tattoo yes I'm okay I'm gonna draw a
plant for you because you like plants yeah
yeah so the printer here it doesn't print black ink but I know that you're
really good at doing colorful drawings so this is the perfect opportunity to
test out its abilities what size would you like your tattoo probably pretty
small huh oh we're gonna go oh like this
one yeah let's draw a cute cute little plant for
you okay it's already not working so that's
good
oh this is so bad
how do I go back okay
oh okay here's different color options so let's do green
cute little this is horrible where did the Green go
it just it doesn't work as well as other
drawing apps like procreate I hate when you press the back button that it it
goes back all the way to the black pen
ink too work maybe if you do it it will
work I just have really bad luck with technology it was working oh oh oh it's
back okay
this is horrible green I think it's selected
okay okay
maybe from this side good enough prank
okay connect to printer which we did connect to okay look at that streamline
that's way better so much easier perfect
and look at this we can even resize
might be a little pixely because procreate is not a vector program we go
to the printer app now let's see you go
in and Export it let's see how how easy that is
has to show something like it's transferring I don't know do we just
exit I can't remember it's not there no
no machine cool the interface
it is headache inducing uh okay let's
try it and the UI is horrible it is it is
upload is complete oh there oh it's working okay okay so now
it's time to Ink you so we gotta spray you with the primer
let's move this what do you think of the smell
it's just like alcohol
yeah it's time to prank you okay
like why does that sound horrible prank oh no that's not right
this one
for a hundred percent size are you ready I'm ready this is a lot of
commitment okay
oh my God it's the tiniest
all right I forgot to do that with my other tattoos
oh yeah it is it's it's not great that's
for sure
tattoos yeah did it hurt no no no that's
that's the only good part okay so how do you have it bigger then
not a question I've been asking myself
and it's stuck on another loading screen like 90 of the time of being here it's
just like waiting yeah yeah and it like
actively not working so so far you need
two apple pencils two iPads a printer an
iPhone and some patients in hoping that
it will actually work oh yeah and you also need two people very important at
least I just got an amazing idea that it's a
Creative Juice really flowing today
okay Riley we are ready for you
for you yes you're about to get pranked dude
um it does come off I know I I like when
Jake told me um he's like it'll only last a day I'm like no
and then I Googled it and I'm like oh you can wash it off yeah yeah that's
completely different what
I would probably I'll wear this for the day so I'm gonna spray you I don't want
my kid to see it ugh
permanent no oh
you will never get it off your skin will be primed permanently
do I have to like do I have to like brace for it does it hurt yeah it's very
painful it's temporary you can wash it off with
soap but it hurts just as much are you ready yes you might want to hold
your breath for this
I hope the screen is a button okay and then just ah okay
okay it's eating my flesh yeah
great again okay right I gotta finish priming oh you gotta Prime oh no it'll
we want to hold it or Linus will melt away
oh my gosh I got a little Linus ize
okay let's get you primed prepped and
primed come come take a kneel
please give me a tattoo where would you like this tattoo to go I I I I don't
know like maybe upper ARM okay so I'm gonna Prime you yeah I would turn away
unless you want to be intoxicated on the job what do you think of the smell it
doesn't really hurt my feelings so that's good so you and Riley will have
matching tattoos oh wow that one's kind of glitchy oh I
didn't finish
you have half a sound blindness oh my God that's beautiful
I like it I like it okay let's export
that Sony you better give me more cameras
oh after how long has that been like five
ten a minute uh it does smudge a little bit okay but
it's not it's all coming out eh
it comes off with soap oh you know what the problem is I didn't I didn't finish
it's permanent oh my God
for Life Andy okay can we make that bigger design
um nope it's as big as however you
want how do you do the big logo oh I
didn't pick that they they they they branded me oh my goodness
you ready to get pranking let's go all
right it's ready it's not working oh it hurts
drink
I got a new camera
all right just save me four grand
kids it's a little bit like rainbow in there
yeah yeah you can really see the ink colors like my camera is RGB
well good job you did great for yourself thank you yeah it feel if it doesn't
really feel that much
what will be the name of our Tattoo Studio
oh um uh prinken and
stink
oh interesting thank you Nicole um
okay so unlike the other two you
actually do have a tattoo I do how was your first tattoo experience
um
now this one unlike your other one instead of cat scratches it's kind of
like a glue stick it's it's kind of sticky are you excited I am it's it's
permanent so okay I'm down mystery
permanent test let's go
don't touch it it's a little sticky
are you having fun I'm having so much great I did not know
you're getting tattoos today this is awesome oh wait
it was because maybe this was not like fully dry oh so it like got stuck like
oh should we try again let's just go I have plenty of arms
Prime again okay but I need to start like a little bit yeah
I can Flex
ing on sad liners that's hilarious oh my God yeah the
thing with this is you can't really tell where it's going to be exactly like the
exact position yeah it's true like as you start it just kind of goes whenever
yeah thank you for helping me in tattooing me
it was really fun yes I enjoyed myself very much yeah my favorite was
Anderson's camera yes yes Andy's camera was wonderful
bye the printer a handheld headache well the
concept is super interesting and unique to the market in practice it doesn't
really work that well for starters when it does print the tattoo you can see
each individual color with a little bit of practice you might be able to figure
out a way to get the ink to align properly but as of right now it seems
like it's been an issue with every single tattoo that we've done you can
get a legitimate tattoo for 270 dollars that will be on you permanently but I'm
sure it'll be something that you want to get or you can spend 270 US dollars for
a printer you can get uh very mediocre
not very good tattoos and a really
really the interface it does need some improvement however I feel like the
experience of everybody kind of trying this out was fun so maybe bringing it to
a party and giving your friends tattoos would be the only real purpose for this
even then those tattoo shoes that you just put on your skin and wet with water
and peel off would probably look a lot better how much is it again 270 dollars
I can't get over that sale oh at 270 and how much is it on
sale for um oh nice twenty dollars off if you do
want a tattoo that looks good maybe just
get some Sharpies
and draw on yourself no that's bad advice aside from all of those aspects I
think with some improvement this could be a really unique and fun Tool uh just
at this point in time I don't think it's at that uh caliber of
of I don't know it's just not that great
I don't want to sugarcoat it is it user error I don't think so like it took so
long for the Bluetooth to connect to
illustrate something in their like drawing
program and resizing tattoos is a issue
that we weren't able to resolve so overall you probably shouldn't buy
this I would wait for maybe some future
generations to come out that have improved the issues that we discussed
throughout the video because at the end of the day there's no tattoo that's going to be as
good as a legitimate actual tattoo don't
