At 12:10 -- new tattoo!

Just a new use of for the marbling technique we used to use when I work as a kindergarten/pre-school assistant. Create an image on top of water with paint/ink, dip your print medium in water, viola pretty picture. I will admit this is taken a step further but its still kindergarten art class.

PS The water isn't doing the painting the paint medium is floating on top of the water, the water (other fluids could be used) is just part of the technique.

Very interesting. I can see all sorts of uses for this rather then the more traditional decaling method that yields wrinkles over compound curves, recesses, etc. Think a checkerboard P-47 cowl, a P-51 checkered tail, carbon fiber suspension pieces on a race car, fancy paint schemes on 1950-60 era jets wing tip tanks, and the list just goes on and on.

Not really a new technology, it has been used for years in the gun industry, how do you think they get the camo patterns on gun stocks, barrels, etc, etc.

Real Tree has been using this technology for years to put their patterns on things that can't be woven in one way or another.
