A tattoo machine having a control unit and a breaker-less handheld non-magnetic tattoo device. The control unit includes a motor mount, a motor, an eccentric cam, a conductive plate, a return spring, an insulated cam follower, an electromagnetic coil controller, a motor revolutions per minute and frequency, an inverter, and a modified voltage output. The breaker-less handheld non-magnetic tattoo device is electrically connected to the modified voltage output. The breaker-less handheld non-magnetic tattoo device includes a disposable needle cartridge, a hand held actuator, an electromagnetic coil, and a power plug. The tattoo machine provides multiple deposits of ink sequentially via the disposable needle cartridge at variable speeds and variable frequencies which provide fine detailed controlled ink application at variable depths, and at variable concentrations on skin including stippling effect while simultaneously reducing hand injuries for tattoo machine operators.
