4 Unique Styles Of Tattooing
Introduction The methods of tattooing vary as much as the human needs for bodily artistic expressions, which means there are many tattooing techniques out there which you can use. Here, we will discuss the 4 most common tattooing techniques.
Tattoo Machine This method basically consists of the use of extremely sharp (chemically sharpened) needles which are attached to an electric tattoo gun. When pressed against the skin, the constant in- out motion (thousands of times per minute) of the needles allows them to pierce the skin cleanly and accurately.
Bamboo Handles Using bamboo handles to insert ink into one¡¯s skin is a vital part of the Japanese tattoo tradition. There are about two dozen needles embedded in the handle. The artist has to stretch the client¡¯s skin with one hand while pressing the needles against the skin with some force with the other side to produce a cohesive image.
Rake and Striking Stick Using striking sticks to make tattoos is one of the oldest practices of tattooing, which is still in use in the South Pacific countries like Samoa and Papua New Guinea. The rake, which is produced from bone, is dipped into ink before placing it carefully over the part of the stretched skin to be tattooed.
Metal Tube The metal tube technique has mainly been famous in Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand. A metal tube, often made of brass, contains a pointing rod at its center. The artist has to stretch the customer¡¯s skin with one hand, dip the rod in ink, and pierce it through the skin in a downward motion frequently like a sewing machine.
