Abstract

A wireless tattoo device is disclosed. The device includes an electronics housing, a control panel, a power source, and a motor assembly driven by the power source. A motor housing is attached to the electronics housing, and the motor housing defines a passage dimensioned to receive a portion of the motor assembly. A grip defines an opening dimensioned to receive an end of the motor housing. The motor housing is configured to receive a needle cartridge. The motor housing and the grip are rotatable relative to each other such that a depth of the needle cartridge relative to the grip varies based on a relative rotation position between the motor housing and the grip.
