Tattoo machine is our common tattoo equipment, and it is also a necessary equipment for every tattoo artist. The working principle of the tattoo machine is to use the electromagnetic coil to move the armature rod up and down, so as to implant the ink into the skin through the needle. In addition to tattoo machines with electromagnetic coils, there are also rotary tattoo machines, which are powered and powered by a regulating motor. The choice of tattoo machine generally depends on the preference of the tattoo artist, but high-quality machines play a vital role in the technical level. If you are new to tattooing, you may not know the difference between coil and rotary tattoo machine. Since they are two completely different devices, the following editor will introduce you to these two common tattoo machines.
Coil tattoo machine
The most common tattoo machine is the coil tattoo machine. The sound of the coil tattoo machine can be easily connected with the tattoo shop. Yes, it is very loud! This is not a bad thing, as it allows tattoo artists to focus on what they are doing while drowning out all environmental noise. Although its sound is very loud, it is very popular because of its ease of use and stability.
The advantage of the coil tattoo machine is that it is easy to adjust the speed and power, easy to customize and replace parts. It can speed up the completion of tattoo works, and you can control it well. It is the most popular type of tattoo machine. The coil tattoo machine usually adopts double winding form, ranging from eight to ten layers. The coil produces resistance, so that we can use these machines to adjust, and at the same time quickly pull up and down the armature rod to inject the ink into the skin.
Rotary tattoo machine
The rotary tattoo machine is very quiet. Each rotary tattoo machine is equipped with a small motor, which can move the attached tattoo needle up and down in a smooth, almost periodic manner. Compared with the coil tattoo machine, the rotary tattoo machine can move the needle in and out of the skin more smoothly and evenly. Many rotating machines are ceramic, which means they do not require an autoclave, so they may be more hygienic than coil tattoo machines.
The rotary tattoo machine also has the function of retracting the needle, so that the tattoo artist will not risk exposing from the contaminated sharp object, thereby making it safer. These machines run quieter and more efficiently than other types, and only use electric current instead of the same motor principles as electric motors. Rotary machines are very popular, but it remains to be seen whether they will go mainstream.
