Tattoo pens also use short needles, or cartridge needles, which are pretty expensive<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nFinal Thoughts<\/h2>\n
So, considering the advantages and disadvantages of both tattoo guns and pens, it is pretty clear that tattoo pens win the battle of the better machine. However, things aren’t really this black & white in real life. Each tattoo artist has their personal preferences and machines which suit them the best. Regardless of which tattoo machines they use, tattoo artists first need to listen to themselves and follow their own style, and then they use the equipment that provides the best, desired effects.<\/p>\n
So, which tattoo machine is truly better? There isn’t an exact answer; the answer changes from one tattoo artist to the other, just as the styles of tattooing change, alongside preferences, type of work they’re doing, etc.<\/p>\n
Both tattoo machines do their work; they tattoo the best they can, but the final effects are surely in the hands of the tattoo artist. The tattooist that has mastered tattooing techniques will have no issue working with the gun or the pen to create a piece of art.<\/p>\n
The only difference we believe makes the final argument tilt a bit in favor of the tattoo pen is the notion of less pain for the customers. Considering that pain is a no.1 reason for people avoiding tattoos or experiencing issues with the whole process, we cannot simply ignore the fact that tattoo pens hurt significantly less than tattoo guns.<\/p>\n
So, if pain during tattooing is generally an issue for you, you should be looking for a tattoo artist that works with a tattoo pen.
