How to Choose Tattoo Needles?

Gradually, tattoos are accepted by all, so there comes more ways to do tattooing and tattoo supplies are flourishing. Here I’d like to express my own ideas of choosing tattoo needles, as now there are various classifications of tattoo needles for tattoo artists to choose and most people feel confused. Following are the most common needles for your choice.

 

Round Liner Needles

  Rounder liner needles are usually for liner. The so-called rounder needles refer to gathering a certain number of needles together according to one center when welding them. Usually, the thickness of each needle is between 0.25 and 0.4. Experienced tattoo artists may tell the needle whose thickness is between 0.3 and 0.35 is most commonly used. That’s definitely right and such needles are pretty easy in use.

  Liner needles that have the widest application are those with tips of middle dullness; too sharp and too blunt are not ideal in use. When choosing, you are suggested to pick those with sharp reduction treatment as the tips are holding together, and there will be no bifurcation when liner.

  The common types of liner needles are: 3, 5, 7, 9 etc. You’d better not choose those too small nor too thick, which may affect the tattoo designs when using.

 

Flat shader Needles

There are many types of flat shader needles: single row, double row (subdivided into overlapped ones and bifurcated ones), arc etc.

Same to round liner needles, the thickness of flat shader needles are range from 0.5 to 0.4. The commonly used is 0.3 to 0.4. Needles for shader usually have a blunt tip. Tips that are too sharp are easy to scratch the skin and do much more damage to the skin, while blunt tips do well in inserting inks. Single row needles are used in trimming and modifying sharp corners, especially when the tattoo designs are small, but not so helpful for large color areas. Overlapped needles’ tips have a big density, therefore, when piercing; the depth is relatively shallow, which is suitable for exquisite shader. Bifurcated needles, both big and small sizes, are mostly practical, pretty helpful to insert colors. Arc needles do a great job in shading.

 

  Those two needles are easy to be found. Online stores may sell you a set of tattoo needles that contain them both with a pretty favorable price.

A Tattoo Kit Made In China Sucks?

  Whether it’s wise to buy a tattoo kit is always a hot topic that is discussed by many tattoo artists. Some may admonish you not to buy repeatedly, especially those made in China, as they think those kits sucks. Actually they are not so horrible as you think.

 

Someone may tell you that tattoo kits made in China are all garbage as they may not contain high quality equipment inside though they are cheap to some extent. They believe that most suppliers of quality tattoo machines will only sell to registered/licensed tattoo artists, which is partially right.

 

 Mostly, when it comes to low quality kits, people refer to tattoo starter kits, which are specially designed for tattoo starters that contain a CD or a DVD, and practice skin inside. Those kits are for exercising so that they can’t meet the requirements from senior tattoo artists. Experienced artists will get professional tattoo kits that perform well in tattooing on the skin. They can even make their own lists that include all the ideal equipment and get their unique tattoo kits, which are called customer tattoo kits offered by most Chinese suppliers. Before making the choice, surely they know the actual quality about the chosen tools. Who will be so idiotic to bring inferior tattoo equipment back home all by their own choice? This happens not only in Chinese stores, but also stores in your local area, both online or offline. All the different kits are sold according to the artists’ level. If you are a pretty skilled tattoo artist, but you get a tattoo starter kit for your tattoo practice, definitely you will find it really suck as you should stop to tune the tattoo machine or the needles again and again during the process. But things will be different if you change a tattoo kit for senior tattoo artists. So when you find the kit you bought from a Chinese supplier turn out to be horrible in tattoo practice, the first thing you should do is not to blame on kits made in China, but to check whether your chosen tattoo kit is proper to your level.

 

As for the price, “Made in China” always works magic to make it really cheap, but people always associate bargains with low quality, so they have more confidence in those expensive ones. As a result, some people take it for granted that a Chinese tattoo kit is bad in quality. However, quality is not in proportion with price. You can do a survey. Some kits sold at more than $100 at American or UK local stores may have the same quality as those offered at no more than $50 by China suppliers. Someone just give prejudice to a tattoo kit made in China, so they say bad words about them though they haven’t really experienced before.

Some professional tattoo artists in my area are using Chinese kits, but all things go on well and they really speak highly of them so that they prefer to find a Chinese supplier to get their equipment. One of the advantages of tattoo kits is cheap in price, and tattoo kits made in China can’t be more specialized in expressing it. You should try it and you will find someone just over generalized.

 

Most of those who said tattoo kits made in China are garbage may get an unsuitable one or they just have prejudice, so you can’t make the decision to quit before you really have the bad experience. A Chinese tattoo kit deserves relying confidence on.

 

More advices: before buying a tattoo kit, you should have a fairly good art background to begin with and you need someone already in the business to teach you how a tattoo is done. Never do tattoos in your body unless you are really familiar with the whole process, or you may get into troubles.

However, tattoo starters may not pay that much attention to taking good care of tattoo machines and some of them may even don’t understand the importance of maintaining carefully.

Definitely, caring tattoo machines has significant meaning. Tattooing is a very fine and delicate working process which requires vibrating needles moving back and forth with the rate of 50 to 3000 times per minute, penetrating into the skin to insert tattoo ink to accomplish an awesome tattoo design. The continuous movement of the needles during the tattooing process could damage both the springs and contact screws, which are usually regarded as machine wearing. Besides this, tattoo machine parts could easily get rusted as most of them are made by stainless materials. Therefore, tattoo machines require cautious care to maintain their high efficiency and good quality of finished tattoo arts.

So, how to care tattoo machines? How to take action when tattoo machines break down without any indication?

   When you run into a sudden stop right in the middle of the tattoo processing, take it easy, check the power pack of the machine. Under most circumstance, it’s due to cutting off the power suddenly. If the power turns to be normal, just follow the steps listing below: check the connection of screws, especially the tension screw and tightening screw. Also inside the body of tattoo machines there might be some bad wires and coils which could cause the pause.

The carbon, which is built inside the tattoo machines when they are planned in the plant, may cause poor connection as well. You could use nail file to move it out, instead of a sand paper, because the left sand is very hard to clean and may lead to other problems of machines.
