We know that a tattoo is an art of using dyes to tattoo or pattern on the body. Throughout the ages, the development of this art will have different craftsmanship with the continuous progress of society. In ancient times, people used ordinary embroidery needles at most. Nowadays there are professional tattoo artists, and of course, tattoo instruments are indispensable, which is what we call tattoo machines.


  • The history of tattoo machines

Earlier people simply pierced the skin with a needle, but after a long time, the color of the tattoo would change to cyan, so the tattoo was named tattoo. I know that in 1892, a person named Sam O'Reilly invented an electric tattoo machine, which can get a simple tattoo in just a few minutes. The current hand-made tattoo machine has a low beating frequency and can only penetrate about 1 mm into the skin. With the development of technology, the tattoo machine is now very perfect, so there is a profession like a tattoo artist.


  • Principle of Tattoo Machine

Through voltage transformation, 220 volt AC is converted into 3-20 volt DC. Through the magnetoelectric effect, the coil and the spray point are instantly attracted, and the needle is driven to reciprocate at high speed through the reed of the tattoo machine. When tattooing, the needle penetrates the skin, and the spray spot implants the dye into the base layer of the skin to form a permanent pigment imprint. The tattoo machine brings more exquisite uniform tattoo designs
