One of the most important parts of various tattoo machines is the needle. The needle used in the tattoo is the only contact between you and the customer. The needle actually pierces the skin, for this reason
It must be perfect, flawless, sharp, straight, and in very good working condition.
The needle is welded on a small stick called a needle bar. There are two types of needle bars: secant and fogging. The secant needle bar is round at the welded end of the needle, and the fogged needle bar is flat at the welded end of the needle.
The secant needles are welded tightly together to draw the outline. The fogging (that is, coloring) needles are welded together flat and close to each other to pierce the shadow. It is very important that good needles and needle shafts are already available on the market. Don't buy cheap tattoo needles for cheap. High-quality needles are very easy to use on the customer's skin and can make the tattoo cleaner and smoother, but they are not expensive. Don't stop at these tools, otherwise you will never be a good tattoo artist.
The making of the needle itself is an accurate science. This process essentially welds the needles together as a whole, and then welds the whole to the needle bar. At present, domestic manufacturers have produced a large number of sterilized tattoo needles, and the disinfection level of many manufacturers is in full compliance with European hygiene standards, so tattoo artists no longer need to waste time on welding and making tattoo needles (details in the next chapter Introduce the whole process). Beginners should buy finished needles from a tattoo equipment supplier with a good reputation and reputation. There are several reasons for this: First, you will know what a good needle looks like. The needle bars from the supplier are usually good and are made by experienced professionals; secondly, it gives you a good opportunity to collect needle bars. When the needle can no longer be used, the needle bar can still be used and can be used repeatedly. If used carefully, they can last for many years.
The life span of tattoo needles is very short. Many tattoo masters use one or two needles for each tattoo, and even a large tattoo uses two or three needles or more to ensure that the needles are always sharp. Do not use the same needle all the time. For hygiene and safety, throw it away after using it once. Only by becoming generous can you become better!
