Tattoo system for monitoring tattoo work {TATOO SYSTEM FOR MONITORING TATOO WORK}

The present invention relates to a tattoo system, and more specifically, when performing a tattoo permanently or semi-permanently on the body, the depth information of the needle penetrating into the skin is transmitted to the operator in real time, thereby enabling stable and high-quality tattoo work. It relates to a tattoo system for monitoring tattoo work.

In general, a tattoo refers to injuring the skin or subcutaneous tissue and engraving letters, drawings, and patterns with pigment. The tattoo work for this is moved while piercing the tattoo pigment into the human skin with a tattoo needle to a certain depth. So that a predetermined shape is expressed on the human skin according to the intention of the operator.

In the conventional tattoo device used in the tattooing process as described above, after the initial position of the needle is determined, the movement distance of the needle is determined by a device such as a cam inside the tattoo device, and the operator is the body (handpiece) of the tattoo device. Holds and moves the tip of the needle into the skin.

However, in such a conventional tattoo device, it is difficult for the operator to accurately recognize the depth of the needle penetrating the skin (the position of the tip of the needle moved from the surface of the skin to the inside of the skin). If the skin is pierced to a greater depth, especially if the blood vessels in the skin are pierced, bleeding occurs and a scab is formed on the skin, and when the scab falls off the skin, it falls like the tattoo pigment in the skin and the tattoo is not formed properly. As there is a situation in which a procedure is required, work efficiency is deteriorated and it is difficult to perform high-quality tattoo work.

Therefore, when the tattoo needle is pierced beyond a certain depth of the skin, when it is seen that effective tattooing cannot be performed, in order to prevent such problems in advance, the position of the needle during tattooing can be identified and a precise and safe tattoo is possible. It is necessary to prepare a plan to do so.
