Tattoo Artist Who Lost His Arm Gets World’s First Tattoo Machine Prosthesis
A lot of people have tattoos, and each tattoo is special in its own little way. But few tattoos are as special as the ones created by JC Sheitan Tenet. Why? Because the tattoo artist doesn’t do them by hand. He does them by prosthetic hand!
Take a look below to see what we’re talking about. Amazed? Confused? I think we’re both. Tenet, who is based in Lyon, France, lost his arm 22 years ago. He received the world’s coolest prosthetic courtesy of French artist JL Gonzal, who modified an existing arm prosthesis to accommodate the tattoo machine.

I think that it's fantastic to be able to do what you love even with a handicap❣
It's a job though, how much choice does he have but to do that?
Load More Replies...Why is this thing not wrapped in a plastic bag? Sanitize this thing just like all other tattoo guns.
First, it's a machine, not a gun. Second, current studies are still not agreeing on the effects of wrapping a machine within a bag, the cords themselves should be wrapped, surfaces as well, but for machine, there's microspray coming up through the tube itself and unto the machine (or in the air). A bag will only serve as a big catch-all for said spray and cause more contamination. In all cases, you machine should never come into contact with the client's skin, so it's kind of a moot point you're making.

Most of it is just fancy steam-punk/diesel-punk art, the tatto needle is just the bit at the tip.
