Blackdot’s groundbreaking gadget utilizes blockchain and NFTs to create tattoos, enabling artists to earn royalties, revolutionizing the tattoo industry.
A new gadget from Blackdot that can ink a tattoo recorded on blockchain using the NFT formula is among the cryptocurrency headlines of the day. This will make it possible for artists to get paid royalties for the use of their designs.
Crypto news: a new gadget uses blockchain technology to store tattoos as NFTs
A new gadget from Blackdot can make tattoos that are kept on blockchain using the NFT algorithm. This will make it possible for artists to get paid royalties for the use of their designs.
As a result, even tattoos start to appear “unique,” adorning bodies with images saved on blockchain. This activity is a step up from the current generation of tattoo robots, which can create tattoos using a computer.
Furthermore, another benefit of being a tattoo NFT is that, once again, the blockchain allows the designers of the designs to get royalties.
Renowned digital artist Tyler Hobbs is a big admirer of Blackdot’s initiative and offered the following commentary:
“When I started to see what the Blackout device could do, it was just mind-blowing the level of precision and detail that it was able to achieve. It just seemed like such a natural fit, this blend of the digital and the human, combining man and machine in a way is just really a big passion of mine artistically, and so the opportunity to work with Blackdot was really exciting to me.”
Crypto news: Artists can profit from royalties with NFT tattoos
Apart from Hobbs, Blackdot, an Austin-based startup, has also enlisted the services of various other artists who provide their personalised designs. The receivers of these tattoos will own them as NFTs in addition to having them on their bodies.
In this context, Blackdot’s CTO, Yan Azdoud, stated:
“Artists are always amazed at the fidelity and accuracy with which the Blackdot device can reproduce their works on skin,” Blackdot CTO Yan Azdoud said. “Our grayscale dots are ~250µm in diameter (.25mm) and we’re able to tattoo them with surgical precision, a combination enabling us to execute extremely detailed designs that cannot be tattooed by hand.”
Blackdot is now seeking additional investors as it intends to grow outside of Austin, Texas, into other parts of the United States and internationally.
NFTs are present in everything from sports and entertainment to tattoos
Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the sports stars that has lately employed non-fungible tokens (NFT tattoos) as Blackdot looks to grow its tattoo business.
The Portuguese football player and Binance have introduced CR7 ForeverZone, their third NFT collection, with the goal of transforming the fan experience in the sports and entertainment sectors. In fact, the current collection provides up to 50,000 mystery boxes filled with goodies, such as the Golden Ticket, which entitles its bearer to a trip to see and train with Cristiano Ronaldo in person.
