The modern tattoo machine is primarily a motor attached to a tube that contains a bar with a needle arrangement on the end. The motor pushes the needle up and down, up to three thousand punctures per minute. The depth is set very shallow, just down into the dermis layer, and the ink runs into the hole from the fountain-pen like tip of the tattoo machine

A giant python tattoo design. In Chinese legend, a large python has the ability to transform to a dragon and fly on the sky - this is why there is some cloud in this free tattoo design.
