    Wierdly, it looks like it's bouncing off the skin rather than piercing it... :confused:

    I'm watching that going......

    "ow.....ow.....ow.....ow....ow....ow.....ow.....ow...."

    'cept it's in slow mo. But it looks amazing though! What would the average RPM (or PPM - pr!cks per minute) of a tattoo gun be? I've heard that it's 1500. But that could just be bull.

    It depends on the setup but it could be as high as 3000-4000 pricks per minute @ 130 cycles per second--machine is only in the skin for roughly half that cycle so you get 130/2=65x60(secs)=3900.

    And dya know why that's impressive? Cos there's a formula! Thanks for quenching the curiosity. Eh, ah you know what I mean.
