Tattoo gun. Wash up after handling it.

Thanks, we did, but I went ahead and disinfected all the things!

Tattoo gun

[–] SinMeToHell@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

Tattoo machine to be more accurate. Professional artists hate when it's called a "gun". It can have negative connotations.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 27 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Since nobody else has responded: it's a tattoo gun.

[–] TootSweet@lemmy.world 29 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Just because all the other posts aren't clear, OP: that's a tattoo gun you've got there.

[–] ExperimentalGuy@programming.dev 20 points 8 months ago (1 children)

OP. I know that no one else has properly explained, but you are holding a tattoo gun.

[–] nieceandtows@programming.dev 1 points 8 months ago

It could also possibly be a tattoo gun

[–] Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org 27 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Something like: https://www.amazon.com/Athena-Designed-Tattoo-Machine-Chrome/dp/B00FY99OV8

Wash/disinfect your hands

Head of a tattoo gun?

[–] N0x0n@lemmy.ml 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

My first thought: a morse device...? XD

[–] OldWoodFrame@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago

Astrolabe.

... would be a good tattoo someone could get from that.

Dollar straightener

[–] fuzzyspudkiss@midwest.social 2 points 8 months ago

I believe that is two US One Dollar bills.

Real question now : What the hell is a tattoo gun ?

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 25 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Its like a regular gun, but it shoots tattoos

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Directly into your skin!
