Introduction

 Tattooing is one of the oldest art forms . It is a type of body modification that
involves creating permanent letters, symbols or other images on the skin. Ink is
injected under the surface of the skin, by piercing it with a small needle.

 Tattoos are generally used as a form of artistic self-expression.

Tattooing Process

 The process of tattooing involves the

insertion of pigment into the skin's dermis.
Traditionally, tattooing often involved
rubbing pigment into cuts. Modern
tattooing almost always requires the use of
a tattoo machine and often procedures and
accessories to reduce the risk to human
health.
Tattooing Tools
Ancient Egyptian Needles

 Tiny bronze tattoo needles discovered at an Egyptian dig. These date back to 1450 B.C. but the
oldest on record are from before 3000 B.C
Ancient Thai Needle Kit

 Traditional Thai tattoo tools were made from quill-like bamboo needles. Split in two and razor
sharp, they range from six to twelve inches in length
Maori Chisel

 The Maori of New Zealand used bone chisels to carve designs straight into the flesh. After the
lines were cut, the chisel was dipped into ink and and tapped into the gashes
Japanese Tebori Needles

 Tebori tattoos are done completely by hand, with the tattoo artist creating a rhythm with his hand
motions similar to that of an electric machine.
Edison's Electric Pen

 Thomas Edison created an electric stencil pen for some unknown reason. While the pen never
took off commercially, it was converted into a forerunner of the modern tattoo machine.
Modern Electro-Magnet Machine

 Today's tattoo machines run on a two coil (or one or three or any other variation) system. The
basic premise is that electromagnetic circuit causes the needle to move up and down
TATTOO TECHNIQUE
Bamboo Technique

 Technique that started the tattooing culture within Japan – bamboo tattooing is

both fascinating to watch, and extremely difficult to master. A handle is crafted
out of bamboo wood and is smoothed down and completely rounded for comfort
and accuracy, and is finished off with up to two dozen sharpened points added to
the end of it to act as the tattooing needles.
 It takes hundreds of hours to complete a single large tattoo using this technique.
Rake & Striking Stick Technique

 This is one of the oldest and most primitive known tattooing methods from
Polynesia.
 When using the rake and striking stick method, the artist will ensure that the
customer's skin is well stretched out , before hitting a sharpened rake attached to
a long horizontal handle with a thick solid stick in order to put the rake into the
stretched skin.
 This rake is traditionally made of bone, and is dipped into ink
Metal Tube Tattooing Technique

 This technique was most prevalent in Southeast Asian countries, and was highly
popular within ancient Thailand
 Metal (normally brass) hollowed-out tubes are used to house a smaller and thinner
metal rod that is slid down the tube. The bottom of this thinner rod is tipped with
an extremely sharp point.
 The artist dips the point into ink before and place the tube over the required area
of skin
Western Technique

 So this is where the majority of the world is at today – the tattoo machine. If you
walk into any commercialized tattooing studio on the planet
 The needles are slotted onto the end of the gun, which is then connected to a
power supply. After the needles are dipped into a pot of ink, When pressed against
the skin, this in-out motion allows the needles to pierce the skin cleanly and
accurately.
Soundwave tattoos

 A short waveform design is generated and can be tattooed onto your body. The
image and associated audio is uploaded to a database and can be accessed using
the Soundwave app by scanning the tattoo.
 Upload the audio yourself to the Skin Motion app's cloud. The app then connects
that clip with the visual representation of the soundwave you're getting tattooed
onto you. When you scan it, the app then recognizes the soundwave visually, in
the manner of a QR code, and spits out the connected audio.

DuoSkin

 With wireless communication capabilities, the DuoSkin design can function

essentially as a skin-based remote control for whatever can be remotely
controlled. The gold leaf technology can also be used to track body temperature or
embed an NFC chip, so paying for a coffee or opening your car door could be
achieved with the wave of a hand.
3D-printing Tattoos

 France-based company Appropriate Audienceshas created a 3D printer that could

successfully tattoo a human arm.
 3D-printing technique using ink containing conductive silver flakes, which can be
peeled off the skin 
Aesthetic

 Tattooing is a more serious aesthetic decision than many others we routinely make
because, unlike tanning or cosmetics, tattoo ink is inscribed upon our bodies and
removal requires significant expense, effort and specialist knowledge. 
 The basic concept of aesthetic tattoos is that it has to look good and also express
something unique.
Technology

 As we move into the 21st century, tattoo culture,

much like everything else, is being fused with
technology. From tattoos that act as embedded
sensors to high-tech ink that can be easily removed,
tattoos in the new millennium may look similar to
how they have in the past, but they may also boast
some added functionality.
