Abstract

A tattooing device comprises a needle carrier (1) having a plurality of hollow needles (2), an exchangeable program carrier (11,26,31,39) and control means having a jaw (7). The program carrier has an assembly of cylindrical cavities (13,28,33,40) with a fluid (23), each of which can be put into open communication with a needle, in which cavities pistons (6,18,34,38) are movable for pressing out the fluid and which cavities are at least partly closed at an axial end by a closing element (18,29,34,41) in dependence on the force exerted by the jaw for transfer to the needle. The closing element is at least partly deformable, the deformation of the closing element requiring a heavier force than that required for inserting the needle into the tissue so that owing to the force exerted by the jaw on the program carrier first the needle is inserted into the tissue and subsequently by the deformation of the closing element the piston can move into the cavity.
