ELECTRICAL TATTOoING.
Bunch of Needles Operated by Hand,
Supplnnted by an Up-to-
Date Process.

In order to keep pace with mod
ern demands, methods of tattooing
have been materially changed. For
merly the operator punctured the
skin of his patrons with bunch of
needles fastened to stick or set
in cork. This primitive instrument
was dipped into ink, and the tat
tooinG was slow and painful. Now,
however, it is done rapidly and pain
lessly with an electric device invented
by q New Yorker who has been en-
gagged in this business since 1875,
says the Times of that city.
His little "studio" is decorated with
pictures of birds, snakes, and curios
from the tropics. Quaint Japanese
paintings cover the walls, and al
buns containing hundreds of patri-
otic, grotesque and floral designs
are scattered around. The proprie-
tor of this fantastic collection is en-
thusiastic about his work, which he
considers a superfine art. He applies
to it the name "Tattograph," insead
of the old-fashioned term "tattoo,"
well as being more comprehensive,
In speaking of the fact that many
people imagine the passion for hav-
ing the skin marked with emblems
in india ink and colors is confined
to sailors and natives of the far
east, he says that seamen and ORR
entails represent only about one
fourth of his patrons. The balance
is made up of Americans and Euro
peans from every walk of life.
When a patron has selected de-
sign, the operator carefully washes
the surface of skin which is to be
operated on, then steri1izes it with
alcohol. AS soon as the cuticle is
prepared he attaches the wires to
one of his ingenious machines. The
next instant half dozen tiny nee
dies, dancing up and down so rapid
ly that one can hardly see them, are
puncturing the skin and forming the
outline of the design. The ink
splashes and falls in big blots, and
one fancies that the result will be
merely an unsightly blotch, but
when the smear is wiped off only the
curves and spirals that the needles
have made are to be seen. When
the details of the design have been
completed the wires are attached to
color machine, which is of smaller
construction, but contains more
needles, and blues and reds are
worked around the black with won
derful accuracy. The finishing
touches are made with shading ma
chine which operates by clockwork
instead of electricity. It is larger
than the others and is provided with
so needles. Through the medium of
this last instrument the design is
filed in with delicate lines, which
complete the picture.
