Abstract: The disclosure relates to a skin piercing tool for locally puncturing a human or an animal skin, comprising a piercing needle, which is embodied as solid needle, in the case of which a needle body has a proximal needle section and a distal needle section, in which a piercing tip is arranged, wherein the needle body has a needle section, which is resilient against the piercing tip in response to a compressive stress, wherein the resilient needle section is arranged on the needle body in the area of an angled needle section, in which adjacent needle sections assume an angle of less than 180° with one another. Further, a hand-held device for repeated local puncturing of a human or an animal skin is provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for applying a tattoo or permanent make-up, comprising a disposable module removably arranged at a handpiece, a needle retained at one end in a needle shaft and supported for movement in a needle guide formed in the disposable module and at another end extending through a needle nozzle opening for discharge of color, and a drive mechanism composed of several structural members and coupled to the needle shaft to effect reciprocating movements of the needle, said plurality of structural members of the drive mechanism comprising drive and coupling means to couple the drive means to the needle shaft. At least part of the coupling means are arranged in the disposable module and removable from the handpiece together with the disposable module.

Abstract: The invention concerns a driving device for a device for the local puncturing of a skin, particularly for the application of permanent make-up or a tattoo, as well as a method for operating the driving device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a handheld device for the repetitive local puncturing of a skin for an input of a liquid active substance, particularly a permanent make-up and tattoo handheld device, with: a piercing device formed in a needle module with repetitive movement forwards and backwards, which piercing device is driven with the help of a drive unit formed in a drive module, a reservoir for the liquid active substance, a pump system coupled to the reservoir where the said pump system is configured in order to discharge the liquid active substance held in a cavity of the reservoir by means of pressure application, and a fluid connection running at least partially in a needle module casing where said fluid connection is configured in order to supply the liquid active substance from the reservoir to the piercing device.

Abstract: A device for locally puncturing skin is disclosed, especially for applying permanent make-up or a tattoo, comprising a housing, a needle guided in the housing for movement between extended and retracted positions, and a diaphragm made of an elastically extensible material and dividing a front-end space at a front surface of the diaphragm from a rear-end space at a back surface of the diaphragm in the housing. A coupling mechanism firmly couples the needle and the diaphragm for backward movement of the needle in the direction of the retracted position, a return force generated by the diaphragm for moving the needle back in the direction of the retracted position being introduced into the needle shaft.
