What Is Tattoo Machine 'Bog' & Why is it useful?

"Machine bog is when your tattoo machine slows down or bogs when the needles enter the skin. On coil machines the bog actually reduces penetration in to the skin. This bog is a good thing, it is important for a machine to respond to the resistance of the skin." - Bowers Supply

This Vid is from my perspective as a tattooist (and limited understanding of machine building). It's mostly about how it feels better and helps us create solid, long lasting work with less trauma. If you'd like to read a more detailed explanation of why separately tuning the down and up stroke is also a far better idea from an engineering perspective when it comes to delivering ink into the skin with little trauma. Read this great explanation by a machine builder over at Bowers Supply :
