What is Tattoo Machine?
A tattoo machine is a hand-held device generally used to create a tattoo, a permanent marking of the skin with indelible ink.
Modern tattoo machines use electromagnetic coils to move an armature bar up and down. Connected to the armature bar is a barred needle grouping that pushes ink into the skin.

How long do machine tattoos last?
On average, a stick and poke tattoo will last between five and ten years depending on where it is and how it’s been cared for.
After this length of time, a stick-and-poke tattoo will generally look very washed out and faded. Hand and finger designs often fade within a few years since we wash these places regularly.
