Understanding and using skills of tattoo needle
Jun 09, 2022
In the process of tattooing, tattoo practitioners, the number of tattoo needles is directly proportional to the speed frequency. The less the number of needles, the slower the speed regulation. The more the number of needles, the faster the speed regulation. However, sometimes it also depends on needs. The appearance of tattoo color is related to the number and speed of tattoo needles and the depth of penetration. The tattoo machine can make an appropriate adjustment in the softness of the contact between the shrapnel and the point solenoid, and can also make an appropriate dilution in the tattoo pigment concentration. From this point of view, we can infer another important key point of tattoo acupuncture into the skin: the distribution of tattoo needle points.
Take a tattoo as an example. Theoretically, the best phenomenon is that the tattoo needle points are evenly distributed, and the color is gathered into large color blocks by many small needle points. If the color patch is formed by small wounds bit by bit, the damage to the skin will be relatively low. The most ideal tattoo wound should be slightly less than abrasion, which is the damage to the whole skin. If we want to achieve the best tattoo effect, we should understand the relationship between the frequency of needles and the speed of hand movement when the tattoo machine stabs into the skin.
If the tattoo machine emits the needle ten times a second, it stabs the skin and does not move at the same point, that is, it stabs the skin ten times at the same point to form a large point. If the hand moves in a straight line at a speed, it will form ten points arranged in a straight line, and the distance between points will increase with the speed of hand movement, and the slower it moves, the smaller it will be. Therefore, the frequency of needle delivery and the speed of hand movement should be changed and matched according to the needs of graphics. If you master this principle, you can make yourself comfortable when making tattoo works.
Unless necessary, the tattoo machine cannot stop at the same place when fogging, so the action we often use is constantly back and forth, left and right, or rotating to fog. Many beginners will ask whether it is a good way to fog before and after, left and right, or draw a circle. In fact, if we understand the relationship between the frequency of the needle and the speed of hand movement, we will understand that as long as we can distribute the needle points evenly, the method is not the key point, and we can change the method according to our personal habits. Technology and methods are constantly improving and innovating, just as the saying goes: everyone will change their skills, and their cleverness will vary!
