Contour focuses on relieving tattoo artists of work-related pain and introducing new ways to tattoo for increased workflow. Contour includes an ergonomically-adaptable bed that can be adjusted for each user to accommodate the various positions needed for tattooing.

The reference screen is available to give tattoo artists the option to look up, alleviating the pain of leaning forward. The screen can also view the tattoo session length, provide light, preview stencils on the body, and record for social media. This system comes with a phone app to wirelessly control the adjustments of all the products.

To ensure a comfortable experience for everyone, Contour is designed to adjust in height, length, and/or angle where necessary for users between the 5th percentile woman and 95th percentile man. A key feature is the chainmail mesh, which uses controlled air in pockets to contract and expand for varying degrees of support.

All metal components of Contour are made of anodized recycled aluminum and the plastic components of the bases are made of recyclable HDPE. The chainmail mesh is recyclable 3D-printed silicone wrapped with medical-grade clear silicone plastic for sterile cleaning. Other materials include biodegradable coir (coconut fibre) filling the inside of the headrest and lumbar support cushions.
