Paintings and drawings since prehistoric times have intrigued people, and the love for art never ends. Tattooing is a form of expression in which people make symbols on their bodies with ink.

Back in Limelight

L’Oreal has made a small investment in the Korean tattoo printing company through the BOLD (Business Opportunities for L’Oreal Development) fund. Regarding its investment in Prinker, Barbara Lavernos, Deputy CEO in charge of Research, Innovation and Technology at L’Oréal said, “Through this strategic investment, we can fulfill our deep commitment to bringing breakthrough beauty technologies that truly empower boundless personalization and self-expression into the hands of every person.”

And now it is in the limelight again as it has claimed that LG Household & Health Care Ltd. has copied their idea and created a copycat product called IMPRINTU. According to the Korean startup, this device from LG shares quite a few similarities with the Prinker M device. The concept, design, and size of the two Korean tattoo devices are similar. LG’s portable temporary tattoo printer is set to be revealed at the Mobile World Congress. Prinker has reported the same to the Ministry of SMEs and Startups and is planning to take legal action against the Korean conglomerate.

Conversely, LG has dismissed Prinker’s claim and accusations as the startup being ‘exclusive’ to the tattoo printer concept.
