Advantages and disadvantages of artificial intelligence for the professional tattoo industry.

Listen to this podcast on:

Once again technological advances surprise us and today artificial intelligence has become a new reality. But, what are those advantages and disadvantages that this new technology offers to tattoo artists?

Darwin Enríquez, Zhimpa Moreno and Armando Muñoz talked about this controversial topic in their new episode of Inknation Studio Podcast with the objective that you know the positive and negative points of implementing this technology in your tattoo designs.

Advantages of artificial intelligence when tattooing.

Process automation.

Artificial intelligence allows you the possibility of automating your creative process when designing your tattoo, as it offers you the possibility of creating unique images with the style you want that will serve as inspiration or elements when creating the final design of your tattoo.

Boost your creativity.

Since it’s a system trained exclusively to help you with specific tasks. Artificial intelligence allows you the possibility of obtaining images created just for you, which means that you will have a chance to find unique visual references.

Disadvantages of implementing artificial intelligence in your tattoo.

Lack of qualified professionals.

One of the great drawbacks of artificial intelligence is the lack of qualified or trained people to have basic knowledge on the use of this new technology which means job losses or difficulties for people to quickly acquire the skills to handle this technology.

Problems tattooing the design.

An (AI) image with the elements and style you want can sound very appealing. However, the great challenge that many tattoo artists will face is having the ability to transfer that design to the skin to create a piece that has the same nuances and elements as the image created with artificial intelligence.

With the implementation of artificial intelligence, new advantages and disadvantages will continue to be added to the list. However, it’s important to note that this new technology can be used as a reference, but can never replace the human ability to create professional tattoos on the skin.

colors are essential 

Whether it’s a black and white, colored or black and gray tattoo, it’s important that your design stands out. 

Segment the work
