Abstract: A tattooing device is provided which includes a motor housing and a needle housing secured thereto. A motor and an eccentric drive structure driven by the motor are mounted in the motor housing. In addition, a needle shaft and tattooing needle are mounted for reciprocation in the needle housing and are driven to reciprocate by the eccentric drive structure in the motor housing. The needle housing has an opening at the lower end thereof through which the tattooing needle reciprocates, and a silicone rubber bushing is mounted in the needle housing and is provided with an opening through which the needle extends. The diameter of the bushing opening is less than the diameter of the opening in the lower end of the needle housing so that the bushing operates to constrain transverse movement of the reciprocating needle and thereby reduces noise, ink splatter, the tearing of skin, and improves line clarity.
