A tattoo gun works by sucking up ink into a tiny tube. The tube also contains the needle or needles. When the machine is turned on, the needle moves up and down very rapidly and injects the ink into the skin in short bursts.

How Does A Thermal Tattoo Copier Machine Work?

It's very important to know there is two types of 'tattoo copier': 1. Fax machine type - this is the most common 2. Thermal-Copier using IR Heat lamp and rollers (much more expensive but much better) Fax machine types with like the old thermal fax machine, using a thermal head. Problems: Head often is not hot enough so designs are faint/ don't work or the whole machine is a dud. most are Chinese so that says it all. IR (Infra Red) Thermal-Copiers use a heat lamp inside a reflector and require a carrier to hold the tattoo paper as it passes through the machine - they are MUCH hotter and have a speed dial to adjust the speed/ temperature. This type is much more expensive, but work on all types of tattoo paper and are for studio use. If you buy a cheap fax machine type copier then expect cheap patchy results. You get what you pay for in this field. Speaking from experience here (bought too many cheap fax machine types and finally got a proper one) Dibbo

How much does one airsoft pellet weigh?

Standard weight is .2g. Cheap guns often work best with .12g, while people tend to use heavier bb's such as .23g with high end guns for accuracy. Snipers will sometimes use up to .4g bb's, but usually stick to between .25g and .3g bb's. Heavier bb's result in greater accuracy, but cause a decrease in muzzle velocity.
