Classification of tattoo machines
There are many types of tattoo machines.
Liners and shaders are the more common machines from
a technical standpoint.
Mechanically, there are coil tattoo machines; also pneumatic machines, and
rotary, or linear tattoo machines.
• Rotary tattoo machine: A rotary tattoo machine, built in 1978 by Manfred Kohrs of Germany.
Rotary tattoo machines were the original machines, based on rotary technology, which was
invented by Samuel O Reilly and improved by the tattoo artists through the years.
Rotary type
machines use an electric motor to drive the needles.
Some recent upgrades include using an
armature bar to increase efficiency, a characteristic of coil machines.
Recently, there have been
improvements to make this type of machine pneumatic, in place of the electric motor used now.
• Coil tattoo machine: Coil tattoo machines are the most commonly seen and used.
These
machines use an electromagnetic circuit to move the needle grouping.
