In the technical stage of tattoos, cutting thread is a more critical stage; and the needle cutting method of tattoo cutting is roughly divided into buried needle and hanging needle. So, when is the buried needle used in the tattoo process, and when is the hanging needle used?
1. Generally, the realistic design of tattoo works uses hanging needles. For example, in Europe and the United States, small patterns and sketch effect patterns mostly use hanging needle techniques.
Pay attention to the following points when using the hanging needle method:
A. The length of the hanging needle should be slightly longer than that of the buried needle, so that it is easy to see where the needle is.
B. Generally, it is not recommended to use pigments with too high viscosity, which will affect the coloring effect.
C. The power gear should not be too high when hanging the needle, and the gear should be higher than that when fogging. If you can master the strength of the machine, you can also use the fog machine to do the needle cutting.
D. When doing portrait tattoo face portrayal or some sketch effect patterns that do not emphasize obvious contour lines, you can use non-stick material to operate.
2. Traditional tattoo designs like Japanese power supply are made up of color blocks and color blocks. The colors between the color blocks are distinct. In this case, a buried needle is usually used, and some parts need to be expanded at the same time as the thread is cut. And it is recommended to use a slightly thicker needle as it will increase the stability of the line.
Pay attention to the following points when using the buried needle method:
A. The length of the needle must be controlled at about 1.5 mm. If the scale of the buried needle is not well grasped, it is easy to produce color accumulation and halo. This is not conducive to the next operation.
B. Do not adjust the current of the machine too much when cutting the thread, otherwise it will be difficult to grasp the depth of the buried needle when cutting the thread. The key to the depth of the needle when performing the needle is the strength of the needle, and the second is to determine the depth of the needle according to the different parts of the skin. For example, the needles of the arms, shoulders, hips, inner clavicle of the thighs, etc. should be shallow, otherwise it is easy to be dizzy, and the needle on the back of the hand is deep and easy to be dizzy. In addition, it is better not to use fine needles (three round needles) without making small patterns that are too subtle.
C. When cutting the thread, you must use professional color material to cut the thread. The professional color material is sticky, and the cut lines are clear and clean.
