This project aims to deliver a revolutionary new, low pain, low trauma tattooing system for the \>$2bn global tattooing market. It builds on a highly successful previous IUK grant which demonstrated proof of concept of ultrasonic low pain tattooing. The innovation is highly novel. There are no other tattoo machine based approaches to reducing pain and skin trauma. Some skin creams have been used, but are problematic for several reasons, particularly in the short term effectiveness, the potential for compromising the quality of the tattoo work and that the artist cannot 'prescribe' such materials. The benefits of low pain tattooing are an improved experience for the client, longer sitting times and therefore great efficiency for the artist and less unwanted movement (jerk response) in relation to pain. The device also offers low skin trauma. This effect allows for higher quality work as there is much less redness in the tattoo field. These effects are achieved through the ultrasonic motion of a needle - 1000ths of a mm and thousands of times per second, acting as a microscopic hammer action needle, parting the skin, lowering in skin friction and triggering fewer pain receptors.The key objectives are to optimise the performance of the ultrasonic low pain tattoo device, called TranQuill(r), to address the shortcomings of the prototype device in terms of:- vibration: which may result in vibration-related long term injury to the user.- optimisation of ultrasonic frequency and more importantly, amplitude. Too much vibration leads to undesirable results and too little will not have the beneficial effects of low pain tattooing demonstrated in the proof of concept phase.Industrial design to allow for a premium product with very high desirability.Collaborations with artists, established in the prototype phase, will be built upon to ensure a world leading product is produced in a market-ready state.

该项目旨在为全球纹身市场提供革命性的新的，低疼痛，低创伤纹身系统。它建立在非常成功的IUK赠款的基础上，该赠款证明了超声波低疼痛纹身的概念证明。这项创新非常新颖。没有其他基于纹身的机器来减轻疼痛和皮肤创伤。已经使用了一些护肤面霜，但出于几个原因是有问题的，尤其是在短期效果上，有可能损害纹身质量的潜力，并且艺术家无法“开处方”此类材料。低疼痛纹身的好处是对客户的改进经验，较长的坐姿，因此对于艺术家而言，与疼痛有关的效率很大，不需要的运动（混蛋反应）。该设备还提供低皮肤创伤。这种效果可以进行更高质量的工作，因为纹身领域的发红要少得多。这些效果是通过针的超声动作来实现的-1000毫米和每秒数千次，用作微观锤子动作针，分开皮肤，降低皮肤摩擦并触发较少的疼痛受体。优化超声波疼痛纹身设备的性能，称为tranquill（R），以以下方面解决原型设备的缺点： - 振动：这可能会导致用户振动相关的长期伤害。频率，更重要的是振幅。过多的振动会导致不良的结果，而太少的振动不会在概念验证阶段表现出低疼痛纹身的有益作用。工业设计允许具有很高可取性的优质产品。 ，将建立建立，以确保在市场就绪状态下生产世界领先的产品。
