SKIN ART BY ROTARY MACHINES

Over the last 25-30 years, tattoos have made an extraordinary comeback. Until recently tattoos were an iconic symbol for counter-culture, to denote the revolt against the authoritarian Establishment. Not just the younger generation, but all ages adjoining the race for better and more expressive skin art. This has not only been made possible by the extraordinary catching up of society at large with the Digital Age but an engineering revolution that has overtaken this field after quite some time. While the dominant Coil Tattoo machines are no longer the clumsy and heavy devices, which were often painful for customers, it is the Rotary machines that are now taking over the race. Since 1891, when Rotary machines were first invented by Samuel O’Reilly (following the lead of Edison’s Stencil Pens), rotary tattoo machineshave not changed much, but the German Manfred Kohr’s Exenter Rotary Machine of 1976 and Carson Hill’s Pneumatic Machine completely revolutionized the field of Rotary tattooing.
