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 local puncturing of a human or an animal skin, in particular for the introduction of an active substance or for the application of a tattoo or a permanent make-up, comprising a drive unit which is configured so as to produce a repetitive drive movement, and a needle unit which comprises a needle device and is configured so as to couple to the drive unit in such a manner that the repetitive drive movement for the extension and retraction of the needle device can be coupled into the latter, said drive unit having formed on it a displaceable actuating element which is functionally coupled to a needle connection device, and said needle unit having formed on it a functional member which is assigned to the actuating element, said actuating element and said functional member being configured so as to move the actuating element from a first displacement position to a second displacement position by means of the assigned functional member when coupling the needle unit

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.
