Impressive... and more research needed:

It’s a bit less impressive considering they are tardigrades and can survive almost anything.

Though I guess tattooing a hardy animal is more difficult.

It's a bit more impressive when you consider the size of these buddies.

That’s what made it impressive in the first plane.
