TATTOOING MACHINE FOR INTRODUCING TATTOOING INK INTO HUMAN SKIN

摘要

A tattooing machine for introducing tattooing ink into human skin by means of a tattooing needle comprises a drive motor to drive the tattooing needle, a transmission unit (4) and a needle holder (6) to accommodate the tattooing needle. The transmission unit (4) converts a driving movement of the drive motor into a puncturing movement of the tattooing needle, causing said needle to penetrate the human skin. The transmission unit (4) has a toggle lever (14) which in response to the driving movement of the drive motor performs a tilting movement. The tilting movement of the toggle lever (14) actuates the tattooing needle into the puncturing movement. The toggle lever (14) is connected via a bending spring (17) to the needle holder (6). The stiffness of the bending spring (17) is adjustable, and so the hardness of the puncturing movement is variable.
