Hey it's me, Destin

00:01

welcome back to Smarter Every Day.

00:02

Not really sure how this is gonna work out

00:04

but I want to know a little bit more about tattoos.

00:07

So I'm just walking up to a tattoo parlour

00:09

and seeing if they will let me video a tattoo

00:13

being applied in slow motion with a Phantom.

00:15

Let's see how this works.

00:17

[tattoo machine buzz]

00:20

OK we're in the shop,

00:21

this is.. Leah? Right?

00:23

- Mm hmm. Hi.

00:23

- OK this is Leah and she's an artist.

00:25

We're not supposed to say..

00:27

What, is that what we call you?

00:28

- A tattoo artist, tattooer, tattooist,

00:30

in England they use tattooist.

00:31

- Excellent. OK so, can you teach us how to

00:33

tattoo somebody with.. I guess this is the gun right?

00:36

- Well machine, we don't call it a gun,

00:38

that's a no no.

00:38

- So what do we have here?

00:39

- This is a rotary machine.

00:41

There are a few different types of tattoo machines

00:43

but the most commonly used is the coil

00:46

and I would say the second most common

00:47

is the rotary machine.

00:49

- Oh really. Can you show us how it works?

00:50

- Sure. This itself is the motor.

00:52

- Ahuh.

00:53

- The head of the needle, actually the needle bar

00:56

connects here, and it goes through a tube,

00:59

which this is.

01:00

- Is that what you hold?

01:01

- We hold this. This is technically the grip.

01:03

I'm gonna put on gloves.
