In addition to their obvious differences in appearance, tattoo machines and tattoo pens also have different structures and transmission modes. Tattoo machines are summarized as traditional tattoo machines, also known as coil machines. It uses electromagnetic principle to drive the spray and suction of coils through electromagnetism to make the needle run up and down.
The transmission mode of tattoo pen is motor, which drives the transmission rod through the motor, and then drives the needle mouth to run up and down, with a more even force. The needles used by the two machines are different. The needle handle of the traditional tattoo machine is long, the needle is relatively cheap, and the needle of the tattoo pen is short, easy to replace, and the price is slightly expensive.
The two machines have their own advantages and disadvantages. The traditional machine needle coloring is easy to control, the light color transition is natural, and the traditional large-area coloring is easy to master. The disadvantages are that it is troublesome to change needles, it is troublesome to adjust the machine, the machine is too heavy and difficult to control, and it is divided into two kinds of machines: cutting and fogging. At least two or more machines are required to work.
The tattoo pen has no elastic buffer, so it has strong penetration force into the skin. It is easy to have needle marks when making light colors, which requires some skills and time adaptation. However, the body is light and convenient to change needles. An excellent tattoo pen can be competent for a variety of styles. Tattoo pens are also the future trend of tattoo tools. After all, compared with others, they are easy to operate, and improving work efficiency is the general trend.
