We developed a numerically controlled tattooing machine to enable the systematic study of tattooing as a fabrication process.  \nTattoos are a highly popular medium, with both artistic and medical applications. Although the mechanical process of tattoo application has evolved historically, the results are reliant on the artisanal skill of the artist. This can be especially challenging for some skin tones, or in cases where artists lack experience. We provide the first systematic overview of tattooing as a computational fabrication technique. We built an automated tattooing rig and a recipe for the creation of silicone sheets mimicking realistic skin tones, which allowed us to create an accurate model predicting tattoo appearance. This enables several exciting applications including tattoo previewing, color retargeting, novel ink spectra optimization, color-accurate prosthetics, and more.  \nCCS Concepts: • Computing methodologies → Reflectance modeling;  \n• Hardware → Modeling and parameter extraction.  \nAdditional Key Words and Phrases: appearance, modeling, reproduction, tattoo, skin color, gamut mapping, ink-optimization, prosthetic  \nACM Reference Format:  \nMichal Piovarči, Alexandre Chapiro, and Bernd Bickel. 2023.

Researchers have discovered tattoos as old as 5,400 years [McGill University 2017], and the art form continues to be highly popular around the world today. For instance, 48% of Italians, 47% of Americans, and 46% of Swedes report having tattoos.  \n21,000 tattoo parlors are reportedly operating in the USA today, where the tattooing industry generates an estimated $1 .6 billion in revenue yearly [Zuckerman 2020] . In addition to purely artistic designs, tattooing is also used for cosmetic or medical purposes.  \nWhile the mechanical means of applying tattoos have seen significant historical evolution, such as the introduction of the electronic tattoo gun in the late 19th century and subsequent improvements, the artistic process remains broadly similar to its historic roots. Tattoo artists plan and execute designs in an artisanal fashion, and the accuracy of the result depends largely on the skill and experience of the artist. As the medium of a tattoo is the subject’s skin, the resulting color depends on both the pigments used by the artist and the subject’s complexion. Notably, it is generally considered more difficult to reproduce colorful designs on darker skin tones. Due to the complex social issues surrounding skin color, a technical discussion on the feasibility of tattoos is often considered taboo","cbCaitPjMG1hOZQQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitPjMG1hOZQQ","pdf",6858854,13,"English","# Introduction\n## Computational overview of tattooing as fabrication\n## Challenges in reproducing color across skin tones\n# Related Work\n## Tattoos in the arts and medicine\n## Engineering treatments of color\n## Appearance modeling for computational fabrication","[{\"question\":\"What problem does Skin-Screen address in tattoo color reproduction?\",\"answer\":\"It targets the difficulty of producing consistent, colorful tattoo results across different skin tones when outcomes depend heavily on artists’ experience and on skin complexion and pigments.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the framework predict tattoo appearance?\",\"answer\":\"It combines an automated tattooing rig with silicone sheets that mimic realistic skin tones, then builds a model that predicts how tattoos will appear on those substrates.\"},{\"question\":\"What applications are enabled by the Skin-Screen model?\",\"answer\":\"The model supports tattoo previewing, color remapping for target skin tones, novel ink spectrum optimization, and color-accurate prosthetic fabrication, among other possibilities.\"}]","Skin-Screen - A Computational Fabrication Framework for Color Tattoos | PDF",33]
