They already use lasers on the skin, just think face lifts and cosmetic surgery, wrinkly removal… Been doing this for years. I believe they also use it in tatoo removal.

I bet one day tattos will be created with laser and they will burn the color on :) i think there would less risks assosiated with needles if lasers where used instead. I would not burn a tattoo on myself but if i had that type of laser and i cut myself on something i would use the laser too seal the cut.

Someone needs to get that underage kid into a mental hospital. There are actual laser tattoo machines. Why did this child do this? Where are his parents/guardian(s)/childsitter(s)? That is frickin ridiculous.

last night i dreamt that i got a laser tattoo that would fade after a while, only i got it 3 or 4 times in the same spot and then developed cancer.

the reason for the cancer was because of the laser combined with burning of skin. and somehow it was connected to nintendo wii.

ooo, it’s a prophecy!

gen, trust me, i deal with the forms every day. i’m a u.s. customs broker. anything that emits radiation requires not only fcc docs, but also an fda radiation declaration form http://www.fda.gov/opacom/morechoices/fdaforms/FDA-2877.pdf
check it out if you don’t believe me

i drew some things on my hand using an arc to burn the skin out of boredom once, the end product looked basically the same as this, everything went away after a few weeks

Hi i’m a medical engineer, and i have some experience on the use of medical lasers. So i would like to make some comments.

First the amount of damage that a laser does on the skin depends on the wavelength of the laser and its power output.

Second the type of damage is first-second-third degree burn and can get up to evaporation of tissue.

Third what you see at the picture is probably a second degree burn with evaporation of the skin surface cells. Whether it will leave a scar depends on the power output of the laser that the guy used i.e how deep the radiation got. If the damage is too deep the skin healing process creates scar tissue.

fourth whether the guy will get skin cancer depends on the laser wavelength AND how many times he will repeat the process on the same area.

(sorry for my bad English)

@ jebedia
You are confusing the FDA and the FCC (federal communications commission) which regulates all things radio and such.

Crazy idea, laser tattoo. Welcome to the 21st centure !

i find it amusing watching the red spot around the burns move across his hand/arm with the laser

to jarhead jay. any products that emit electromagnetic radiation are regulated by the fda including things like tv’s(crt types), dvd/cd drives, wireless routers, etc.. and yes, lasers too :)
