In modern time, tattoo artists use a variety of tattoo machines to create their artwork. The most commonly used machine move the needles up and down with the help of dual coils and electromagnetic pulses to create body images. Brass or similar heavy metal are usually the choice of this kind of machine. While, there are variety types of machine, brass coil tattoo machines have many advantages over other counterparts.
This is by no means a specialized machine. For the most modern artists own at least two machines, the liner and the shaper. The liner is the one to ink the outline of the tattoo. While the shaper is to ink finer points and make the artwork more colorful. Those two things are preliminaries for tattoo. As the machine works, many new ideas of machines to certain types of tattoo will be created, but the liner and shaper are indispensable.
A very important reason that the brass machine is usually the choice of tattoo artists is that it can create more precise lines necessary for more detailed tattoos. The artwork can be more colorful and beautiful due to this reason. However, there is a disadvantage of tattoo that always disturbing the tattoo artists, the copper coil is much heavier than other iron material,so it will lead to tattoo artist’s hand cramping during long sessions. But when compared with the advantages, nobody will care about this. What’s more, the strength and weight is actually another advantage that differ the brass tattoo machines with others, while shading and inking thicker outlines require a large number of needles and a great area of skin will be punctured, so more skin is punctured, the more resistance will be created, so the heavy weight is absolutely a advantage.
Brass tattoo machines require new tips and new needles each time. In contrast with some rotary machines, change the tips and needles before every new client come may seems inconvenient but it actually prevent contamination or the spread of blood-borne pathogens and secure the safety of every customers. So it is beyond reproach that the brass tattoo machine is the first choice for tattoo artists.
