The future of tattooing without needles

From the material you will learn about the latest development and technology that will allow you to make injections (inject pigment under the skin) while applying a tattoo pattern without using needles and skin punctures in a familiar format, which will reduce discomfort, make the tattooing procedure safer and easier.

The future of needleless tattooing: new needleless injection technology and its application in tattooing – the facts

Many will think that for a tattoo lover, especially for the owner of a large number of tattoo designs on the body, the needles look familiar and the injections do not cause discomfort – but this is far from the case.!

I personally know several adults, large, strong and heavily tattooed men who literally “sour” at the sight of needles, even at the sight of injections on the TV screen – they timidly turn away and look away.

Injections are a huge discomfort and a real problem that should be solved in 2020.!

The dream of people with the above problem would be the process of tattooing without needles, without injections, without discomfort and fear. And this is reality – today!

Facts about a new way of injecting liquid (pigment, medication, etc.) under the human skin

Scientists at the University of Twente have been working for years on a way to make injections more acceptable by eliminating needles from the process..

Naturally, the tattooing process is not the primary goal in the work of scientists, but in this area the development will be more than applicable.!

Scientists want, first of all, by means of new development, to get rid of a number of medical problems associated with the production and disposal of medical needles, to make the process of administering medicines less painful and frightening. Imagine how many children’s tears during vaccination or treatment could simply be eliminated …

Thanks to the work of a team of scientists led by David Fernandez Rivas, a technology has been developed that is based on the use of a laser and allows liquid (or pigment in the case of a tattoo) to be injected under the skin without direct contact with its surface..

If we try to describe the principle of operation of the device as simply and clearly as possible, then the substance (liquid) is in a narrow channel with the possibility of exiting through a microscopic hole. There, the liquid is heated by a laser to the boiling point for an instant, which allows, while maintaining the properties of the substance, to transfer it into a gaseous state (vapor), which increases the volume and pushes it through the smallest hole at an insane speed – 100 meters per second (360 km / h) … At this speed, the substance or tattoo paint will be able to maintain its properties and penetrate under the human skin, faster and practically without pain..

Sounds crazy? But this device can actually shoot liquid and may very soon be able to make the tattooing process not only painless, but also non-contact..

Of course, while this is only a development, we do not know how much the device will cost, and whether it will be used for a tattoo – will it revolutionize the tattoo world …

But if we imagine that scientists will be able to achieve their goals, I am already beginning to draw a world where children do not cry when they are given mandatory vaccinations, there are no mountains of medical waste in the ocean and landfills, and I will no longer feel discomfort in the doctor’s office..
