The frequency of operation of a
tattoo machine is one of the key parameters that determine the quality and comfort of the tattooing process. Frequency, measured in Hertz (Hz), indicates the number of times the needle strikes per second. For most procedures, the optimal frequency is 125 Hz, which provides sufficient speed and power to effectively introduce ink under the skin, while minimizing trauma to the skin.
To adjust the frequency, the master must use a power supply that allows you to precisely adjust the voltage supplied to the machine. Increasing the voltage usually increases the frequency of the machine, while decreasing the voltage reduces it. It is important to adjust the frequency so that the machine works stably and produces a uniform sound without jerks or delays.
