The Difference Between Manual Tattoo And Machine Tattoo

There are two kinds of tattoos, one is manual tattoo, the other is machine tattoo. Now most tattoos are based on tattooing machines, and manual tattoos are still in the minority.

Most tattoo lovers know the way of manual tattoo, which is also a feature. It is to tie a needle to the front end of a bamboo chopstick. When drawing the outline, use the sharpness of the needle to directly dip in the pigment, and draw scar lines on the skin like a drawing. When coloring, use the needle to quickly form dots vertically up and down to gather the pricked needle points into the required color block. But there is a problem, that is, the pigment is not easy to penetrate into the wound. A single needle is not easy to attach the pigment, and the amount that can be attached is very small, so the effect of the pigment entering the wound is not very good. At that time, there was a way to tie a few circles of thin thread on the needle. After being stained with the pigment, the thin thread bound on the needle will be stained with more pigment. When the needle enters the skin, colleagues will have enough pigment to penetrate into the wound at the same time, and when tattooing, they will also take a piece of cotton to dip some pigment, Do an action of reinforcing and infiltrating the pigment into the wound, so that the pigment infiltrates more into the skin wound, so as to present a better tattoo pattern effect. The Japanese manual tattoo method is to bind multiple needles into rows, which are divided into single row, double row or multi row oblique shape. With the tiger mouth as the fulcrum, it is stained with color and stabbed into the skin in a similar impact way.

The design of the tattoo machine is also transformed from the manual principle. The tattoo needle uses the motor or electromagnetic principle to replace the up and down driving of the hand, and the needle has the siphon principle, which can absorb enough tattoo color, saving a lot of time and physical strength. We often hear that manual tattoos are more beautiful than machine tattoos, mostly because the damage of tattoo machines to the skin is more serious than manual tattoos. If the operation is improper, the skin damage is too serious, and the recovered color will appear in the skin itself, the effect will be not very good, and some even appear scar phenomenon, but the scar has less obvious pigment coverage, but the texture is not very good. After all, hand tattooing is driven by hand needle by needle, so the damage to the skin will be relatively slight. After demobilization, the texture of the skin will usually be retained. However, the depth and depth of the machine's mechanical action will certainly be more neat and consistent than the hand operation. This is the advantage of the machine. Moreover, the development of tattooing machine has a history, which has changed many machine criticisms and greatly reduced the damage to the skin. Although the tattoo machine is constantly innovating, the tattoo art creation is still inseparable from the need to complete the work by "hand operation". As long as it is operated properly, the technology is better than the original in this regard. No matter how it is done by primitive or modern hand, the most important thing is the relationship between the needle and the skin.

Now more tattooing machines are used, that is, tattooing machines. Manual tattooing also accounts for a small number, mostly in the countryside or ethnic groups with customs.
