In one aspect, the present invention is directed to a stamping apparatus, comprising: a stamping pad comprised of a plurality of pins, each pin corresponding to a pixel of the image to be impressed, each of the pins having: a conveyor, along which the pins can move from a non-impressing state to an impressing state; and a first brake, for anchoring the pin at the impressing state. In another aspect, the present invention is directed to a method for stamping an image, comprising: dividing the image into pixels; providing a stamping pad comprising a plurality of pins, wherein each pin corresponds to one of the pixels; for each of the pixels, if a pixel is on, moving the corresponding pin to outstand from the stamping pad; and pushing the apparatus towards a surface, thereby causing the image created by the outstanding pins to be impressed on the surface.
