Types of Tattoo Machine's

Types of Tattoo Machines,

With tattoo art being popular in our daily life's, the tattoo supplies business is
becoming more and more prosperous in recent years. And as one of the key tools of the
tattoo suppliers, the tattoo machines are no doubly very hot. You can find many stores
displaying all kinds of tattoo machines with various prices available on the market. What
is the difference between them? I will show you the differences in the following article.

First of all, there are tattoo machines for lining and shading, which is known to all of us. The
tattoo machines for lining have parts like the wrap coils and a moving bar. They can
start to work with the help of electromagnets. A liner tattoo machine is designed to make
a clear outline of a design and definite the details for lining. The tattoo needles are
inserted in the tattoo machine to transport the tattoo inks into the skin. While the shade tattoo machines are heavier than the liner machines, they are used to shade the deep color on the
shading area.

Apart from the liner machines and shade machines, there are some other kinds of tattoo
machines, such as the rotary tattoo machines. Unlike the liner and shader machines running the
wrap coil, the rotary runs on a motor, or something like the pulley system, which
make much less noise when they work. Some rotarys have three functions, lining, shading
and eyebrow and lip, these kind of tattoo machines are much favorable for many tattoo artists,
they can use them do many things at the same time.

Finally I will tell you the homemade tattoo guns, which is a kind of machines made by some
tattoo artists (Also called Scratchers). They are familiar with the tattooing in only a
basic form ; they know their
specific needs for their work, so they want to design one perfect tattoo machines for their
better and comfortable use. But in my opnion, you had better not use the homemade tattoo
guns unless you really are so professional. Since the homemade tattoo machine is not safe
to be used. But if you have some special use, the regular tattoo machine can not satisfy your
needs, and then the homemade tattoo machines are a good choice.

Tattoo Needles

     The Tattoo needle is one of the most important pieces of equipment in tattooing. If an artist does not handle it carefully while tattooing, it can give you a really bad experience to the Artist and to the one who is getting tattooed. I would like to share a few things which you might know, or might not if you are a beginner.

• The number on any tattoo needle shows the diameter of needle.
  

No. 6 – 0.20 mm gauge (smallest)
No. 8 – 0.25 mm gauge
No. 10 – 0.30 mm gauge
No. 12 – 0.35 mm gauge(largest)

• Smaller the needle is, better it is to make detailed designs.
  
• If you wonder how deep a needle goes into your, it is just 1/16th of an inch.
  
• Tattoo needles are never a single needle. The needles are always in grouping and these are categorized according to the way groupings are done. These are round tattoo needles, flat tattoo needles and magnum tattoo needles. Single needles are rarely used by artists sometimes for outlining.
  
• If your artist uses disposable needles, make sure that they are destroyed or not; and if he is using non-disposable, make sure they are sterilization properly or not.
  
• If you are willing to learn tattooing, do not expect you ca

What to expect from a Tattoo Shop - Equipment

If you have never gotten a tattoo before and you are wondering 

what to expect with tattoo equipments during your appointment, 

there is some clarity that can be offered.

 Your tattoo artist will keep a very clean shop (or you should 

run at the sign of a dirty one), and there will be some common 

tattoo equipments that you will find on the inside of it. Know 

what to expect at your first tattoo appointment with this 

helpful guide on the varying equipment that most artists use. 

Chair or Table
Some artists only offer a tattooing chair, but many are now 

increasingly beginning to add a massage table to their parlors. 

That’s because some people just like to lie flat when they are 

being tattooed. It can help the clients relax more and prevent 

light headedness. You will either see a table, chair or both 

during your appointment.

Machines and Needles, Tubing and More
The primary tool that your tattoo artist will use consists of a 

Machine connected by tubing with a needle in the top and some 

electrical cords that go to the powerhouse of the Machine. This 

is as common as it gets for tattoo shops. Some artists may use 

electrical machines whereas others may use coil machines. Both 

types buzz and vibrate, but electrical machines are a bit 

quieter than coil machines.

Ointments and Inks
Many artists will actually apply vitamin A and D ointment to your 

skin as they are tattooing you. This helps the blood clot and reduces 

bleeding while providing some lubrication and release to the inflamed 

skin that they are working on. The ink that is used can and does vary, 

but most artists these days swear by top shelf brands so they can 

deliver exceptional, lasting work for their clients. These are but a 

few of the many popular tattoo equipments that you will see during 

your first tattoo appointment. 

Good luck on your next masterpiece.
