Abstract: The invention relates to a device for the repeated piercing of a skin, with a hand-held device (1), which has a drive module (2) with a drive unit (4) that is configured for the purpose of producing a driving force, and a needle module (3) in which a piercing apparatus (6) is moveably located in the longitudinal direction of the needle module (3) and which is detachably coupled to the drive module (2) in such a way that the driving force is conducted into the piercing apparatus (6), wherein the needle module (3) has identification means (14) which can be evaluated with an evaluation apparatus (13) allocated to the identification means (14) and enclosed by the drive module (2). Furthermore, the invention relates to a needle module as well as a method for assembling the hand-held device.

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: The invention relates to a method of and an apparatus for determining a value of a skin characteristic, especially of a type of skin, for the application of permanent make-up or tattooing to the skin. The method comprises the following steps: generating light rays (2) by means of a light source (1); irradiating a test sector (3) of a skin (4), to which tattooing or permanent make-up is to be applied by means of color, with the light rays (2); measuring test light rays (5) formed in the test sector (3) by irradiation with the light rays (2), by a detector means (6) to generate measured electrical test light values of the test light rays (5); processing the measured electrical values by an electronic processing means (7) to determine a characteristic value which is a measure of a characteristic of the skin (4) in the test sector (3) and which is to be taken into account when applying permanent make-up or tattooing to the skin (4); and outputting the characteristic value via an output means (8).
