tattoo machine

[rabidmachine9]

Hello there!
I would like to build a tattoo machine.
Does anybody knows which would be the right way to go ?
I mean which system should I use and which language.
If anybody has a clue....
thanks

What exactly do you mean by "tattoo machine"? (You absolutely must have a human to operate a proper tattoo machine or "gun".)

so I can be more accurate than the traditonal
and I was wondering if there is any suggestions on some programmable boards or
chips that can be used for that job.
