From exposure to tattoo art till now, I have seen many different tattoo techniques, various expressions, and slowly, through these perceptions and my own experience, I found that there is no absolute depth, but the tattoo method It can be summarized into the following two forms:
Deep skin layer puncture method: Tattooers who use this method have a deep acupuncture during the puncture, about 2mm or even as fast as 5mm depth, they will try to penetrate the pigment into the deep skin layer as much as possible, this expression color The appearance of the skin will be very thick, but because the skin has to withstand deeper and larger damage, the epidermal layer will be damaged so severely that the wound will form a "scab". This layer of scabbed skin will be metabolized and regenerated. The pigment on this layer of skin will also be dropped as a result. This stabbing method requires the precipitation of the bottom layer of pigment. That is to say, the restored skin will consume some of the pigment deposited on the surface layer, so it must be It is deep enough, the pigment must be heavy enough, if the depth is not enough or the amount of pigment penetration is not enough, then after the skin is scabbed, restored and re-skinned, you will find that all of it has fallen off, or it is uneven in unevenness, so it must be enough Deep enough to penetrate into the pigment.
This deep skin piercing method is usually used when color works or single black works require very dark and heavy colors. However, some tattoo artists also use this method when expressing light colors, but they dilute the paint to a very light color and use it in the same way. The advantage of this stabbing method is that the color is uniform, thick and has a good weight texture. The disadvantage is that the appearance of the color will be dull due to the new skin without a layer of pigment precipitation.
The piercing method of the superficial skin layer: This piercing method is almost all below 3mm. The characteristic is that only a thin layer of skin will be taken off when the wound is healed. Because the surface layer of the skin is less damaged, tattoo artists who like this method use The way of the needle is a bit like the "pen pressure" feeling of sketching. It will focus on the touch of the needle and the skin to measure the appropriate depth. Most of the pigment is deposited on the shallow skin layer. This method must be very careful if the skin is damaged. When it is too severe and in case of scabs, there may be no paint after recovery. The advantage of this stabbing method is that the color is very superficial. After restoration, there is little difference from the time when it is just pricked. There is no hazy feeling of deep skin stabbing method. The disadvantage is that the color is not thick enough and the weight texture is poor. The skin-layer thorn method is usually applied to single-black works, because black itself has the advantage of the darkest color, and does not need to be too deep, and the rendering is already very good.
I found that the tattooists of these two types of tattoos will become a habit and use one of their own ideas. Therefore, if the tattooist does not understand the situation, they often get confused when they see these two different methods of tattooing. Knowing the square inch, I do n’t know which one is better? Of course, each one has every advantage. The key point is to understand its key points. The tattoo artist will use two different methods of stabs, knowing the advantages and disadvantages of them, and The best use of it is easy. In fact, strictly speaking, the depth is not certain. It depends on how you can use it from your experience and perception.
So please choose a good tattoo shop, a professional tattoo shop, come and relax.
