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 these tattoo machines are in such high demand many companies have begun manufacturing them, giving us a wide range of machines to choose from. There are machines that are more or less just more advanced versions of the traditional tattoo needle and then there are machines that are so advanced that they can penetrate the skin 3000-4000 times a minute. However, even with these machines being so readily available a good professional tattoo artists should still be able to do a completely manual tattoo and before you decide on who will do your tattoo for you, you should make sure that whoever you choose can still do a manual tattoo as using a machine requires less skill and it is a risk if your chosen artist cannot still do a manual one.

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.

Like we mentioned earlier, some of the machines are more complex and have special features like electric pulses. This is the machine which optimally runs at over 3000 strokes per minute, meaning that the tattoo will come up in incredible detail. Also, the sound level of a tattoo machine that runs on a sine wave technology is negligible compared to the normal machines which create quite a buzz ” literally!

While a great deal of tattoo shops all over the world do now use these advanced tattoo machines that work with electrical pulses, it is not so uncommon to see tattoos still being done in the traditional manual way that has been around for many many centuries.
