Gallery Tatted Up! Launch Gallery Dillon Forte & BlackdotRobots are taking more jobs traditionally performed by humans ... and artists better watch their backs too ... 'cause machines can ink about as well as flesh-and-blood tattoo artists.
Dillon Forte -- a Texas-based tattoo artist with some serious celebrity clients -- worked on a new tat alongside Blackdot ... a tech startup that created the world's first automated tattoo machine.

New InkYou gotta watch this robot at work ... the client gets their arm strapped down to a table while a giant machine goes to work on the limb, using fast-working mechanisms to tattoo.
Dillon Forte & BlackdotForte and Blackdot each took on their fair share of the work for the project ... cutting responsibility straight down the middle, 50-50, and making a design inspired by NASA and the sci-fi book "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy."
Dillon Forte & BlackdotCheck out the pics ... a series of symbols chockful of space references, with many images appearing on NASA's Voyager Golden Record sent up in 1977 to give possible life a look at our world. It's super hard to tell the part inked by Forte versus Blackdot's portion.
Dillon Forte & BlackdotWe're told Blackdot tattooed the middle portion of the ink, while Forte went around it ... adding his own personal flair to the top and bottom. The difference is super slight -- definitely makin' ya think about the future for tattoo artists.
