The Blackdot device enables intricate flash designs from in-house tattoo artists, ultra-sharp lettering and memorabilia tattoos (e.g. client provided text, handwriting, or drawings), hyper-realistic portraits as well as licensed designs from renowned artists.
Blackdot also puts tattooing and incremental revenue streams within reach for permanent makeup (PMU) studios, body piercing shops, and compatible retail (e.g., upscale barbershops & salons, fashion houses, contemporary jewelry stores).
Blackdot provides tattoo artists, illustrators, graphic designers, painters, collagists, calligraphers, curators, photographers, and public figures the ability to license their artwork for the most demanding canvas—skin. The future of Blackdot is scale—lowering the barrier to entry into the medium for all artists while enabling new artistic expressions, curations, and collections for the art world.
The Blackdot Gallery is the world’s first transactional hub for physically executed digital tattoo art. Tattoo seekers enjoy unprecedented freedom and flexibility with Blackdot in acquiring tattoos via traditional payment methods (e.g., cash & credit card), as well as by allowing them to collect tattooable digital art as Tradable Tattoos™. With Blackdot, both studio owners and tattoo seekers have more choices than ever before.
Tattoo collectors and experts from across the art community share insights into the tattoo industry along with their thoughts on Blackdot’s technology and approach.
