a timeless art

Blackdot technology and studios
free you—and surround you in wonder

Maximizing comfort, safety and hygiene, Blackdot delivers an unparalleled, immersive experience where art and science intersect. Relax in a futuristic setting and work with a team who listen.

We're changing the way people get tattoos, the way tattoo artists share their work, and the way the tattoo experience feels for everyone.

Open in Austin, with planned expansion to LA, NYC, Las Vegas, Miami and beyond.

World's 1st automatic
tattooing device

at ease

Designed for comfort and predictability

Blackdot’s patented technology is engineered to tattoo swiftly, predictably and with minimal discomfort for stunning tattoos that will spark conversation. Experience a new degree of quality and a new industry standard.

GETTING A BLACKDOT TATTOO
LIMITED EDITION TATTOOS

Part I:
Take a walk on
the wild side

In 1970s Germany, Dieter Bockhorn was crafting an unconventional life and Uschi Obermaier was forging a path as Europe’s first supermodel. Together, they made headlines around the world, an “it” couple mixing with the Rolling Stones and living by their own rules.

Part II:
Following in his
father’s footsteps

Discarding life’s confines and seeking the father he never knew, Joel’s personal journey led him to explore his roots and sojourn into music, travel, tech, wine, and coffee—and finally to build the company he was born to build.

Part III:
All things
Blackdot

How does an art-driven tech company evolve? This chronicle of everything Blackdot charts the path from ideation to incorporation, from building the team, securing investment, and branding to creating the initial tattoos, realizing artist collaborations, and launching the company.
