Yea, seems like a horrible idea.

That's a definite no for me. Until it uses cameras/lasers/calibration sensors, you can just experiment on pork's belly like they've always done in the past.
For now, I will use my inkjet to make temporary My little Pony/Yoda tattoos.

Agreed. Any and all sensors would have to recalibrate in real time as the "canvas" moves.
Is it possible? Sure!
Is it probable we will see it in our lives? Hell no.

I will stick to human artsists.

Sounds like a great way to remove hair. You may be on to something.

^^ Well ABS glue does stick to skin fairly well... and it is removable if you put it on thick enough you can peel it off I know from a lot of first hand experience

Nah. Aquanet and ABS slurry should do the trick!

^^ Simple, just zero it on your arm and go.

How does it know how to adjust for height? It's almost like it would need some infrared sensors and a modified firmware ...

BWA-HAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Classic.

I have two half sleeves (working on a suit) and some spots on the human body, no matter your pain threshold, you will twinge. When you have the knuckle of the shoulder tattooed...even if it is slightly just from breathing heavily, you will experience this. Oh...and try getting the brink of your armpit tatted!

Those are such tender spots, I do not trust even the most state of the art machine to do.
While I found this a fascinating, why have the T-1000 or R2D2 permanently doodle on you when you could have Geiger or Da Vinci do your work?

Probably need to print a jig that holds your arm to prevent movement.

What if you move your arm a little too much? What if an axis shifts? What if the printer simply glitches? No thanks.
