Since there is so much mystery about what is happening during the tattoo process, it is only natural to wonder why the artist has all these tattoo guns out. It is really the artist’s personal preference regarding whatever tools he needs to get the job done.
The most common question that I get from clients is about the relation of the colors used in the tattoo and the number of guns. Typically, the tattoo artist will not have a different gun for each color. In fact, the color of the pigment being used is pretty much irrelevant. Each tattoo gun is configured or “tuned” to run a certain way. This specific setup is more about the type of needles that are used with the machine than about color.

Why do you use different types of guns?
