Pro Tips of Our Needles

  • Selecting the appropriate needle depends on the condition of the skin, and the requirements of the design. Consider the configuration that minimizes trauma to your client's skin.
  • Our needle features a tighter grouping to enhance line crispness. To ensure optimal pigment flow, we recommend extending the needle slightly longer to allow a protrusion of about 3 mm. Extending the needle too far may result in insufficient color pickup during retraction, while not extending it enough can lead to difficulties in visibility and potential pigment pooling.
  • Allow the needle to draw up ink into the cartridge by running the machine and holding the tip in the pigment cup. Be cautious not to let the needle hit the cup's bottom, using a pigment sponge if necessary to prevent damage.
  • Maintain a flat surface by gently stretching the skin in small areas to maximize ink deposit and minimize skin trauma.
  • Frequently wipe the needle tip to remove any ink or glide buildup. Clean the needle cartridge with sterile water during tattooing to eliminate buildup, especially when changing colors. Detach the needle from the machine, push the back stick of the needle to reveal the needle tips, and utilize a damp paper towel to firmly press and slide along the needle tips. This process allows for the removal of any accumulated residue between the needles.
  • Dispose of used needles into a sharps container after each procedure; never reuse a needle.
