How Tattoos Are Made? To be able to make a tattoo, the first thing you need is a tattoo machine. You could say that it is like a mechanical rattlesnake that spits ink instead of poison.

How does this machine work?. In appearance tattoo machines are quite basic.

You can even build a homemade one with the motor of a hair dryer or an electric toothbrush, guitar strings and a rubber band. But honestly, it's not a good idea. So, DO NOT try it, please.

Basically, what the machine must achieve to make a tattoo is to pierce the epidermis (the outer layer of the skin) and deposit the colored ink on the dermis (the second layer of the skin). About 1.5 millimeters below the surface.

These machines are capable of doing it between 50 and 100 times per second.
