Not really sure how this is gonna work out

but I want to know a little bit more about tattoos.

So I'm just walking up to a tattoo parlour

and seeing if they will let me video a tattoo

being applied in slow motion with a Phantom.

- Excellent. OK so, can you teach us how to

tattoo somebody with.. I guess this is the gun right?

There are a few different types of tattoo machines

- Oh really. Can you show us how it works?

- The head of the needle, actually the needle bar

connects here, and it goes through a tube,

- We hold this. This is technically the grip.

Not because I really need to in this case

and all of this is sterile, but it's habit.

It feels strange to open a bag without gloves on.

(Destin) 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

- Gotcha. So you've got.. Now you have a needle

in a tube attached to a machine, and you're

- 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.

Coil machines however are a bit more complicated.

When Leah steps on this foot pedal, that direct

This turns those coils into an electromagnet

moves down, it breaks the circuit away from the

contact screw and that causes the electromagnetic

field to collapse. The spring then returns the

and that's it. That's how a coil machine works.

(Destin) OK now that we know how the machines work

it's time to investigate what the needles

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.

OK I have decided that I want to feel what this

needle feels like because it's actually going
