Feeling Brave? Tattoo Vending Machine Picks Designs At Random

DALLAS (1010 WINS) -- Tattoos are meant to last a lifetime, so why not get inked with a design randomly pulled out of a vending machine?

That's what Elm Street Tattoo in Dallas, Texas is giving adventurous customers the chance to do.

People can get inked with a design drawn from the shop's vending machine -- the kind usually reserved for gum balls or plastic jewelry.

The designs include things like snakes and devil heads.

It costs $100 to play.

But an employee tells The Dallas Observer the tattoos would normally be priced between $160 and $180, all the way up to $250.

There are no refunds, but don't worry, if customers aren't happy with their first choice -- a second pick will only cost them $20.

As the machine says, "You don't have to be smart to get a good tattoo." And when has a vending machine ever steered anyone wrong?
