In general there are two versions of tattoo machines are used today outside the traditional tattoo tools. A standard tattoo machine and a rotary tattoo machine. Simply put, standard tattoo machine, use coils and a rod to do the up and down movement of the tattoo machine.
Rotaries take over a lot though, with a much quieter function and also easier to use for extended periods of time, they are becoming the machine of choice. With the ability to stop “white fingers”, a common problem that tattooists had after worked with vibrating machines for years, they easily become the best tattoo machines.
