World's first remote tattoo is commissioned in real-time using a 5G-powered robotic arm

The world's first remote tattoo was completed by a 5G-powered robotic arm fitted with a tiny needle. Tattoo artist Wes Thomas drew the design on a mannequin arm while a robot in another location copied his motions on Dutch actress Stijn Fransen's wrist. The final result is a'minimalist' design that honors Fransen's love out the outdoors that has been dubbed the'Impossible Tattoo.' The procedure was commissioned by T-Mobile to show off the speed and reliability of its high-speed network, which was filmed for a three-minute documentary. A Dutch tattoo artist performed the world's first remote tattoo, prodding a mannequin in one location while a 5G-powered robot arm inked a subject in another.
