Tattoo needles are tools used for creating tattoos on the skin. They are made up of a group of fine needles attached to a single bar. The needles used in tattooing are typically made from stainless steel and vary in size and shape depending on the design and style of the tattoo being created. The different types of needles include liners, shaders, and magnums, each designed to achieve a different effect on the skin. The needles are inserted into the skin with a tattoo machine and used to deposit ink under the surface of the skin to create the desired design.
Benefits of Tattoo Needles
Ease of transition: It’s simple to swap out needle groupings when you’re working with cartridges, which lock effortlessly into place. Plus, when using cartridge needles, you don’t need specifically dedicated machines for each type of needle used during a tattoo session.
Safety membranes: These membranes work to prevent blood and tattoo ink from backflowing into your tattoo grip. As a result, sterilizing your setup and preventing cross-contamination is much easier when a cartridge membrane is involved. Most top-rated cartridge needles now come equipped with safety membranes. However, there are also cartridge needles that come without membranes, which makes them most suitable for tattooing practice on synthetic skins.
Stabilizers: Many high-quality cartridge needles feature unique stabilizing mechanisms that keep your needles on track. This tends to prevent any wobbling or unsteady tattooing.
Open or closed tips: Open cartridge tips fully expose the needle bar. Therefore, it’s easy to clean the exposed needles, so open tips are great for artists who constantly switch pigments. Closed cartridge tips completely enclose your needle bar, allowing for more stability and control.
Different Plastic Options: Cartridges come in all different colors of plastic, sheer and opaque. Many artists prefer a minimal, see-through tip so they can easily watch their ink flow. This is especially beneficial when performing delicate work that requires a lot of focus and manipulation.
Types of Tattoo Needles
Round Liner needles
The pins on round liner needles are soldered in a round pattern to produce crisp, clean lining tattoo work. The thickness of the line will depend on the number round liner you choose as well as the thickness/gauge of each pin. Lining needles, once dipped in your ink, will let only small amounts of ink out to then be worked into the skin. If too much ink was let out, lining would be quite a task!
Round shader needles
Round shaders are very similar to round liners except the pins are not placed as close together. Meaning, for as well as doing thicker lines, they can also be used for colour filling and basic shading.
Magnum shader needles
Magnum shaders are the preferred grouping or needle type for pretty much all shading work. Magnums hold and deliver a lot of ink, making them perfect for large areas of colour packing and shading. Less passes are required over an area to work the ink in meaning less trauma to the skin. There are a few different variations of magnum needles.
Curved magnum shader needles
Curved magnum shaders – also known as soft magnums, soft edge magnums and round magnums – are used in the same way except the pins are arranged so they arch at the centre. Meaning the edges of the needle run along the skin with more conformity, allowing for better dispersal of ink and a more consistent line. It’s also less damaging to the skin and helps with soft shadin.
Flat shader needles
Flat shader needles are pins that are soldered in a straight line on the needle bar. These needles are used for lining because their shape lets them deliver more ink to the skin. This means clearer, darker lines with just one stroke. Larger flat needles can be used for colour fills and shading as they deliver more ink quickly with just one pass. Flat needles are good for intricate shading such as in geometric patterns and some mandala work. Flat shader needles are also common in semi-permanent makeup.
Double stack magnum shader needles
Not as current as they maybe once were. The pins on double stack magnums, or double stacks, are packed much more tightly together. This helps for any intricate shading or colour work where you still want it to perform as a magnum with many pins but not as spread out.
The tattoo needle is usually affixed onto a machine that repeatedly moves it back and forth very quickly. This motion allows the tattooing needles to pierce the skin to create the tattoo. There are two kinds of machines that use tattooing needles this way: rotary and coil machines.
The rotary machine is a machine that moves the tattoo needle by using a rotating circular bar. This disc-like mechanism moves the needle forward and back with enough force to pierce the skin. It delivers the ink into the skin to create the tattoo.
On the other hand, the coil machine uses an electromagnet that is activated by the tattoo artist using a pedal. Once this electromagnet is activated, the mechanism moves the tattoo needle.
Tattoos can still be made even without these modern techniques and machines. Artists can create tattoos in a more traditional sense, just meticulously using the tattoo needle and ink. Some indigenous groups still prefer this old way because they treat it as a sacred act.
Tattoo Needle Codes
Different codes stand for different things when it comes to tattoo needles. RL stands for the round liner, which gives a small circular formation normally used as lining needles. The other configurations are F which stands for flats, M1 means weaved magnum, RS which means round shader, M2 stacked magnum, and finally, RM = round magnum.
Tattoo Needle Diameters
There are different gauges and diameters out there which can be suitable for different uses. The three below are among the most commonly used tattoo needles.
8 GAUGE (0.25MM)
This is a small needle, and they are often called Bugpins, the ink flows a bit slower so it is good for intricate detailing.
10 GAUGE (0.30MM)
This is very popular among tattoo artists, it tends to be the middle ground. It gives a steady flow but doesn’t restrict and slow it down as much as the #8 gauge. People referring to double zeros are talking about this size.
12 GAUGE (0.35MM)
A 12 gauge might be referred to as standards, but they have a faster flow of ink which means they are good for shading and coloring even in bigger areas.
There are some other gauges under these, #6 is 0.20mm. #14 is 0.40 and #16 is 0.45mm. These all have specific uses.
Smooth VS Textured Tattoo Needles
The next thing to consider is whether you want smooth or textured tattoo needles. Smooth needles are the standard needle type of needle. They create clean, crisp lines and can be used with any kind of ink.
Textured needles are less commonly used, but remain popular. This type of tattoo needle doesn't have polished tapers, which creates a dimpling effect of small grooves along the needle the taper. This means that textured tattoo needles hold more ink, and tattooists will find themselves dipping less into their ink cups. They are also ideal for shading and creating soft, blended edges.
Why Are Quantum Tattoo Cartridges the Best Tattoo Needle Cartridges on the Market?
When we decided to develop Quantum Tattoo Cartridges, we knew the only way to do it right was to collaborate with industry-leading tattoo artists who have deep knowledge and love not just for tattoos as an art form, but also for client safety. Our goal was not just to develop the best tattoo needle cartridges for creating perfect lines, gorgeous shading, and smooth ink flow for even deposit but to make them comfortable and easy for the artist to use. We also vowed that these would be made to the same rigorous safety standards that Quantum Tattoo Inks are known for. Here are just a few additional ways that our tattoo needle cartridges are exceptional.

Superior construction: Quantum Tattoo Cartridges have a unique stabilizing system, made from medical plastic, to reduce friction between the needle and housing. This provides both a quieter experience and more precise results.
Closed tip for stability: We worked with tattoo artists to develop the Quantum Tattoo Cartridge closed tip system. While switching colors may take an extra second or two, you will save time with fewer refills. The added stability is well worth the effort.
Backflow prevention: Quantum Tattoo Cartridges keep your clients safe and your machine in tip-top shape with our special backflow prevention valve. You will never have to worry about cross-contamination.
The ink flow from the needle is influenced by its taper. A longer taper restricts the amount of ink that can be dispensed, resulting in a lengthier tattooing process and increased risk of skin damage. However, when working on delicate details or aiming for precise lining, a longer tapered needle with slower ink flow offers artists greater control over the application. This slower ink distribution enables layering and smoother color blends. On the other hand, short tapered needles, despite being slightly less precise, are widely recognized as the industry standard. They provide a consistent ink flow and efficient color saturation without the need for excessive retracing.
Every type of tattoo needle has its own advantages and disadvantages. While certain needles may excel in specific tasks, there are no absolute rules dictating which needle should be used. It is possible to achieve similar effects using alternative needles. Ultimately, the choice of needle depends largely on personal preference.
FAQ
Q: Do they still use needles for tattoos?
Q: What is the difference between tattoo needle and cartridge?
Q: What is the most commonly used tattoo needle?
Q: Do all tattoo needles fit all tattoo guns?
Q: What size tattoo needle is best for lining?
12 Gauge (.35 mm).
Often referred to as a standard or standard 12, there is a very common and popular needle especially in traditional work, bold lining, and color packing as it offers more ink flow and larger penetration area.
Q: How deep should a tattoo needle go?
A Tattoo needle penetrates 5 layers of the epidermis
That may sound like a lot of skin, but in reality it is only 1/16th of an inch, about 1-2mm. That's pretty tiny. It goes through five layers of the epidermis, through the dermal layer, and into the topmost layer of the dermis.
Q: What is the best needle for beginners tattoo?
Q: Do you dip the needle in ink to tattoo?
Q: What does RL mean on tattoo needles?
Round Liner (RL): Round liner needles are for lining and outlining the designs. These are tightly grouped needles, organised in a circular form. Round Shader (RS): Round shader needles are for shading.
Q: Can a tattoo needle be too sharp?
Q: How do you prevent blowouts when tattooing?
Q: What setting should a lining tattoo be on?
Q: What angle do you tattoo at?
Most tattooists should pay attention to the angle between the tattoo machine and the skin when doing lines. The angle should be kept as vertical as possible. The angle is inclined at an angle of 50 degrees to 80 degrees for the lining. it is best to control the angle between 40 degrees and 50 degrees for shading.
Q: Why are my tattoo lines not sticking?
Underworked tattoos don't go deep enough into the skin, which creates broken, inconsistent, or barely visible lines. Overworked tattoos (also known as blowouts) go too deeply into the skin, causing the ink to blur and smudge.
Q: How deep does the ink need to be injected?
Q: Can all tattoo artists do single needle?
Q: How do you know if tattoo needle went too deep?
Q: What not to do at tattoo appointment?
For obvious reasons, you never want to move while there is a tattoo needle inking your skin. If you might have trouble with pain, consider a numbing cream in advance of getting tattooed (ask your artist first). If you're jumpy, you're wasting tattooing time and risking mistakes.
Q: Which direction do you tattoo?
Q: How long should a tattoo needle stick out?
Pooling can also happen if your needle hang is too short (less than 2mm) when the tip makes contact with the skin and drops a big puddle. Set your needle hang at 2-2.5mm to prevent this – leaving the ability for pigment flow and precision.
