Advances In Tattoo Machines
The days when tattoos are done completely by hand are at an end. That doesnt however mean that the whole process is now done by a machine, but machines have completely replaced the manual needle that professional tattoo artists around the world used to use as it is far quicker and more efficient.
Because tattoo machines are in extremely high demand, many companies have begun to manufacture them, giving us a range of machines to choose from. There are standard machines that are basically more advanced versions of traditional needles ranging to machines with a built in pulse that can dip into the skin over 3000 times a minute. However, a good tattoo artist should still be able to do a completely manual tattoo and this is something you should check before you decide who will do your tattoo. This is because applying a tattoo manually requires much more skill and if the artist cant manage that then you run a serious risk in using that artist.
Moving back to the way tattoo machines are rising fast in popularity. The main reason for this is because of how consistent they are. Even the best professional tattoo artist cannot be 100% sure of the consistency of his manual needle, and that is a risk that a professional shouldnt take. To make consistency more, well, consistent, the first tattoo machines were created.
I mentioned earlier that there are different types of tattoo machines and that some are simply more advanced versions of the traditional needle and the newer ones have electric pulses that perform around 4000 strokes a minute, meaning that the image comes out onto the skin in amazing detail, almost like a photo taken on a very high mega-pixel camera. Another advantage of these pulse machines is that the noise they make would be completely drowned out by the noise of an older machine i.e. they are very quiet compared to previous tattoo machines.
While most of the tattoo studios around the world have shifted onto these tattoo machines, it is not rare to see a studio that still etches the tattoos in the same traditional manner which has been around for many centuries now.
