The history of the tattoo machine
Whenever I care for some curious I wonder if that just me or is there anyone else in the world interested in the same. Because, frankly, I am very attracted to the ridiculous and trivial data not useless to humanity. Today for example I got up wanting to know who had invented the tattoo machine.
Although you may not believe it, the tattoo machine as we know it today is a fairly recent invention, but the art of tattooing is ancient. And the person who invented it was the same who invented the light bulb (and other objects 1092): Thomas Alva Edison.
This amazing character is who invented almost everything in the modern world practices, but is accused of stealing many of patented inventions to his name (eg the inventor Nikola Tesla). In 1877 (the same year he invented the phonograph) developed a machine tattoos tattooist Samuel O'Reilly then improved in 1891. While honors latter takes them, we can say that without Edison had not been possible to create the actual tattoo machine.
I researched about it here I hope you like.
The tattoo machine is a curious device, its origins are in the first practical use of an electric motor, a great American inventor and cooperation of both sides of artisans Altantico ...
... The Industrial Revolution in the U.S. and the United Kingdom (1750-1915) brought many things and among them the pastime among sailors on long journeys across the ocean to tattoo ... Tattoos are applied by various methods inspired by native practices from afar, but, as with most craft practices, tattoos were machined too ...
Thomas Alva Edison ... is often called the father of the electric tattoo machine. It would be more correct to call it the grandfather of the tattoo machine. In 1875 still seeking uses for this new invention called electric motor, capable of transforming the electric current in a rotary motion. Perhaps the idea that gave Edison to transfer the rotary electric motor circular motion to linear motion, could be applied to some purpose. What could it be? ...
... The first machine consisted of a device that allowed the printing speed by drilling holes in a template, through the ink which could be pressed into a sheet of paper. This machine consisted of a heavy electric motor in the top of a pen or gun tube. The needle (there was only one large steel thickness) was driven up and down, recording on a template under a plate with a series of holes, which then was required to design or lettering ...
... This was efficient use of electric motors, but it was not easy to use. It was hard and difficult to work with her for a long time. Interestingly Edison commercialized the device, which sold well in the U.S., even after improvements designed two years earlier in England (patented in London October 29, 1875 and in the U.S. Nov.6 No 1877) When using two electromagnetic coils (copper wire around a soft iron core forming an electro-magnet), springs and bars in contact with the machine.
Electromagnetic coils are widely used in Morse telegraph instruments, such as the Repeater, 1836 and demonstrate that it was of vital importance in the development of the tattoo machine ...
Edison ... pursued the issue of reducing the weight so boligrao revisited the recorder to stop the battery, invented the pen driller (May 7, 1878) using a mechanism powered by the force of the foot, like a sewing machine, and finally, the Edison Pneumatic Stencil Pen (25 June 1878) using air pressure, gas or liquid which would operate the system, driving the needle bar machine, making it lighter and more easier to use than previous ...
Still ... do not see the possibility of a device for tattoo ... This leap of vision was left to Samuel O'Reilly, a tattoo artist from New York City. In those days tattoos were almost beaten and scratched on the client's skin. Until I saw the Edison Pen in a shop window and asked for a demonstration ...
It was a wise man ... to see that in the patent office of the U.S. Patent Edison machine had expired, and thus with some minor alterations, including an ink reservoir at the tip of the barrel and moving the motor, and therefore the weight, four inches of the hand (which had stop a little fatigue when using this device), also the needle bar could now accommodate a total of three needles - O'Reilly patented the first electric machine Tattoo on December 8, 1891 ...
Tattoo ... The world would never be the same ... The machine itself was not revolutionary, in fact quite simple, but the idea that electricity could help the tattoo. This concept changed the business forever ...
Edison ... so only father the tattoo machine, we can say it was Grandpa ...
