In this intriguing episode of the Artful Dollar, host Ryan Roi explores the controversial topic of emerging robot tattoo machines. 

Ryan is joined by Bang, the owner of Bang Bang Tattoos, arguably the most famous tattoo shop in the world. Bang has now partnered with the Austin, TX based company, Black Dot, to employ the first robot tattoo machine. 

Together, Ryan and Bang discuss the fears and criticisms surrounding this technology, the potential impact on the craft of tattooing, and the future of the industry with robot involvement. 

Bang also addresses misconceptions and explains why he believes integrating robots could protect and even enhance the art form.
