{"id":485,"title":"TATTOOING Close Up (in Slow Motion) - Smarter Every Day 122","description":"Destin from Smarter Every Day visits a tattoo parlor to learn about the science behind tattoos. He interviews Leah, a tattoo artist, who explains the different types of tattoo machines and needles, and how they work to inject ink into the dermis. Destin also gets a demonstration of what it feels like to be tattooed, without actually getting a permanent tattoo. The video emphasizes the importance of going to a professional for tattoos and encourages viewers to support Smarter Every Day on Audible. The video also features a quick interview with a fan of Smarter Every Day who got a tattoo from Leah.","slug":"tattooing-close-up-in-slow-motion-smarter-every-day-122","creator":"smartereveryday","duration":398.245442,"tags":["Smarter Every Day","Destin Sandlin","tattoo","tattoo machine","tattoo needles","science","slow motion","Leah","tattoo artist","ink","dermis","rotary machine","coil machine"],"transcription":"Hey, it's me Destin, welcome back to Smarter Every Day. Not really sure how this is going to work out, but I want to know a little bit more about tattoos. So, uh, I'm just walking up to a tattoo parlor and seeing if they will let me video a tattoo being applied in slow motion with a Phantom. Let's see how this works. Okay, we're in the shop. This is Leah, right? Okay, this is Leah and she's an artist. We're not supposed to say what is that what we call you? A tattoo artist, tattooer, tattooist in England, they use tattooist. Excellent. Okay, so can you teach us how to tattoo somebody with I guess this is the gun, right? Well, machine. We don't call it a gun. That's a no-no. So, what do we have here? This is a rotary machine. Um, there are a few different types of tattoo machines, but the most commonly used is the coil, and I would say the second most common is the rotary machine. Oh, really? Can you show us how it works? Sure. This itself is the motor. Uh-huh. The head of the needle, uh, actually the needle bar connects here, and it goes through a tube, which this is. Is that what you hold? We hold this. This is technically the grip. I'm gonna put on, uh, gloves. Not because I really need to in this case because I'm not tattooing anyone and all of this is sterile, but it's habit. It feels strange to open a bag without gloves on. Oh, really? I'm just gonna do it. So, it's kind of an important thing. Yeah. I used to think that a tattoo machine came to a single needle point and it injected ink under the skin. It's actually multiple needles and they're grouped together for lining. However, for shading, it's more like a paintbrush. Ink is held in between those multiple needle points using capillary action, and when it punctures the skin, it drags the ink down into the dermis. Ta-da. Gotcha. So you've got now you have a needle in a tube attached to a machine. Mhm. And you're ready to make that machine work. Yep. So, what do you do? Power, I'm guessing? Power. Rotary machines are pretty easy to understand. Here this motor has rotational motion, and it's translated to linear motion here at the needle bar. That's pretty simple, right? Coil machines, however, are a bit more complicated. When Leah steps on this foot pedal, that direct current is applied to the two coils. This turns those coils into an electromagnet, and it pulls this armature bar down, moving the needle. When the armature bar moves down, it breaks the circuit away from the contact screw, and that causes the electromagnetic field to collapse. The spring then returns the armature and it re-energizes the circuit. This just happens over and over again, and that's it. That's how a coil machine works. One word of caution though, just because you understand how a coil machine works doesn't mean you know how to use it. Did you really tattoo yourself? Yeah, it was a waste of time. You did it? Yeah. Let me see. It's ridiculous. Oh, that's what happens. That's what happens. So it's a bad idea. It's a very bad idea. And what's your name? Sean. Sean says do not tattoo yourself. Go to a professional like Leah, right? Always go to your local professional. Okay, now that we know how the machines work, it's time to investigate what the needles are doing to the skin. I brought special lights and a special macro lens so we can record it at first 1500 frames per second and then ramp it up to 3200 frames per second. This is why tattoos hurt. Okay. I have decided that I want to feel what this needle feels like because it's actually going in the skin and pulling it up. And you said you can do this without actually tattooing me. Yeah, I'm not gonna use I'm just gonna use a needle. I'm a little nervous. I want to know what it feels like, but I don't want to tattoo. This is the next best thing, right? Yeah, exactly. Okay, deep breath in. Deep breath in. Breathe it out slowly. Oh. That wasn't bad. Okay. Okay, I can handle that. That was it. Okay, what did you do? See there? Oh. I can see why people get addicted to that. Because it's like a rush, it's like fear. Yeah. So this was the lining needle and this was the shading needle. Crap. And how many needles were on the lining needle? Five. And how many were on the shading needle? Seven. There you go. Smarter Every Day. On the front of your forearm, I think it hurts more than the back. You think I could take it? Of course you could. All right, so I hope you enjoyed this episode of Smarter Every Day.

Did I just get credit because that guy knew who I was? Yes. Okay, excellent. Awesome. Not some weirdo coming into my shop. All right, so this is your famous tattoo? I posted it on Reddit and it got a few hits. That's awesome. Do you like macaroni and cheese? Yes. Anyway, I'm Destin. You're getting smarter every day. Have a good one. This is fake, by the way. We're not actually tattooing me. It was a good fake though. Yeah. GALATIANS 5:18","timeline":[{"t":0,"speech":"Hey, it's me Destin, welcome back to Smarter Every Day.
