A personal tattoo machine designed by Royal College of Art graduate Jakub Pollág and prestented at this year’s Designblok design and fashion week in Prague. According to the designer, the device:

…aims to democratise the tattoo industry. It gives a tool used only by a limited group of people into the hands of enthusiasts who are seeking for an alternative and unique way to permanently mark their meaningful memories onto their skin.

Oh dear.

500 exoplanets discovered before 2015 (about a quarter of all known exoplanets, many of which are named after the 16th century German mathematician and astronomer Johannes Kepler) arranged by temperature and density in a poster by Martin Vargic.

Super-earths, hot jupiters, hot neptunes, waterworlds, gas dwarfs, superdense diamond planets.

The gang’s all here.

The new Google campus in Madrid occupies a former five-storey 19th century battery factory in the city designed by London based Jump Studios.

Inside – as you’d expect – modular work spaces, meeting rooms, a cafeteria and a 200 capacity auditorium for the campus’s 7000 staff.

Oh, they’ll be sick as pikes down in Grand Canal Dock.
