Solution Overview

Problem

Existing tattoo practice tools, such as pencils and brushes, do not simulate the dynamic movement of professional tattoo tools, leading to a mismatch in drawing experience and muscle memory, resulting in a long learning period and low completion rate for tattooists.

Innovation Solution

A tattoo practice device with a coloring portion, connecting portion, and sleeve that allows for reciprocating movement, equipped with an elastic member and angle clamping member to mimic the dynamic operation of professional tattoo tools, and includes a limiting structure for stability and vertical control.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Duration of action of stationary object

If traditional permanent microblading is performed, then long-lasting results are achieved, but skin damage and scarring occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveduration of makeup effectVSAvoidskin damage and scarring
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of stationary objectVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the key parameter from permanent implantation to semi-permanent surface application. The microbladed hair strokes are designed to remain on the skin surface for a limited duration (3-7 days) rather than being permanently implanted, thereby achieving long-lasting makeup effect without causing permanent skin damage or scarring.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The microbladed hair strokes function as temporary, disposable elements that are applied to the skin surface and naturally shed with the skin's exfoliation cycle. This allows for repeated applications without cumulative damage, as each set of microblades is short-lived and replaces itself naturally.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)

2Manufacturing precision

If traditional microblading practice methods are used, then training is achieved, but hygiene violations and cross-contamination occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraining qualityVSAvoidcross-contamination
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a copy of the actual microblading procedure using artificial skin with realistic hair follicles and pigment. This practice model allows trainees to replicate professional techniques without using real human skin, thereby maintaining training quality while eliminating the risk of cross-contamination and hygiene violations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

An artificial skin substrate serves as an intermediary between the training process and real human skin. This mediator provides a safe, controlled environment for practicing microblading techniques, allowing trainees to develop skills without directly exposing real clients to potential contamination risks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Manufacturing precision

If real skin practice is used for training, then realistic skill development is achieved, but ethical concerns and client safety issues arise

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveskill development realismVSAvoidclient safety risks
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The practice model creates a realistic copy of human skin with authentic hair follicles, pigment response, and tissue texture. This allows trainees to develop genuine microblading skills on artificial skin that closely mimics real skin behavior, achieving skill development realism without compromising client safety or raising ethical concerns about practicing on real clients.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

A tattoo practice device (10) and an operation pen using the tattoo practice device (10) are provided. The tattoo practice device (10) includes a coloring portion (100), a connecting portion (200), and a sleeve (300). The coloring portion (100) includes at least one coloring rod (110), and a plurality of coloring rods (110) are arranged in a dot matrix. One end of the connecting portion (200) is connected to the coloring portion (100), the connecting portion (200) is linked with the coloring portion (100), and the sleeve (300) is sleeved on a periphery of the connecting portion (200). When the connecting portion (200) is driven to move in a first direction along a central axis of the sleeve (300), the coloring rod (110) is driven to be close to a drawing medium (E) and colors the drawing medium (E). When the connecting portion (200) is driven to move in a second direction opposite to the first direction along the central axis of the sleeve (300), the coloring rod (110) is driven to move in a direction away from the drawing medium (E). The tattoo practice device (10) implements a state that the nib reciprocates during coloring, and simulates a coloring principle of a tattoo tool, helping a trainee adapt to a dynamic operation environment of the tattoo tool more directly.
