What Are The Precautions For The Handle in Tattoo

Holding the machine correctly can improve the efficiency of the tattoo machine. All needle nozzles, handles and connecting rods should be stainless steel, and all stainless steel handles should be complete and knurled. Knurling is a term in the machining industry. It should be on the handle. The metal knurled handle is better than the plastic handle. When grasping the plastic handle, the hand seems to be stuck, and the hand cannot operate the machine flexibly. Metal knurling provides a fixed grip, increases the weight of the machine, and makes the machine more textured and easier to operate in the hand.

Holding the tattoo machine is like holding a pencil or pen, but it is slightly different.

When holding the tattoo machine for the first time, you will feel that it has a certain weight. Some people say that they are very heavy. Don't be confused by this statement, because after using it for a period of time, you will feel very natural, and the muscles of your hands will gradually adapt to the work of the machine. Tattoos take time, especially large tattoos, which take several hours to operate these machines without much rest time. This requires you to exercise your hand muscles so that your hands won't cramp or ache. Before you start to become a tattooist, practice holding the machine as much as possible. Try to keep holding the machine and practicing in the air. You can do this exercise while watching TV, chatting or doing other things. A few hours of exercise every night will quickly develop muscles in your hands.

Some tattooists prefer heavy machines, while others prefer lighter ones, which is why some manufacturers provide light machines. But it should be remembered that any machine, no matter how heavy it feels at first, will get used to it in the end. In the long run, you should think it is easy to use and stable. The vibration of the tattoo machine will make you feel tired soon. At this time, the weight of the machine usually acts as a shock absorber. The heavier the handle, the more energy it will absorb and the less vibration it will transmit to you. In this way, the tattoo machine is more stable and not easy to shiver, which is the wonderful structure of the tattoo machine. You should also remember that the weight of the machine can be changed according to your preference. You can change the weight of the tattoo machine by changing the model of the handle.

Hold the machine and use hook wires to practice drawing. When the hook wire is hung behind the machine, it will bring resistance to the movement of the tattoo machine, which is different from the strange feeling of writing. Get used to this feeling and practice often for this position.

When tattooing, the hand is placed on the skin, just like writing. The gesture of holding the handle is like holding a pen. The other parts of the machine are naturally behind or on it. The palm is placed on the skin or the base of the work, which is a stable position. The palm is first put down, and then the machine. The palm can become a support point.

Using the palm of your hand as a fulcrum, the machine moves around on the skin. By rotating on the fulcrum of the palm, the machine can easily turn to its proper position. Sometimes rubbing some medical Vaseline on the palm and little finger will reduce the friction between the palm and the skin. Doing so will make it easier for the palm to move on the skin. Be careful not to apply too much to cause slipping and sliding.

The fulcrum of this palm provides a solid foundation for tattoo, but it also needs to be practiced perfectly. It will keep the hand stable and give you a credible route.

Disinfect the handle system in advance and wrap the assembled machine with clean paper. This process should be done before every tattoo (disinfection, installation of needle mouth, needle and machine). In China, the tattoo needles we currently use are all disposable.
