What Are Tattoo Cartridges?
Tattoo cartridges are a revolutionary advancement in tattooing technology, allowing artists to switch needle configurations quickly without the need for additional machines or time-consuming setup changes. Each cartridge encapsulates the needle within a disposable housing, ensuring optimal hygiene and efficiency.
Needles vs Cartridges: What's the Difference?
The primary difference lies in convenience and safety. Traditional pre-made tattoo needles require some manual setup, sterilization, and careful handling to avoid cross-contamination. Cartridges, on the other hand, come pre-packaged, sterilized, and ready to use, with a simple click-in mechanism that significantly reduces setup and cleanup times while enhancing safety protocols.

What size tattoo cartridge do you need?
When determining the size of a tattoo cartridge you need, it's crucial to consider the gauge or diameter of the needle. Different sizes serve various purposes in tattooing. Here are some common sizes and their corresponding diameters:
- #6 Gauge: 0.20mm
- #8 Gauge: 0.25mm
- #10 Gauge: 0.30mm
- #12 Gauge: 0.35mm
- #14 Gauge: 0.40mm
- #16 Gauge: 0.45mm
These sizes represent different thicknesses of needles that can be used for specific tattooing techniques and styles. Remember that the choice of needle size often depends on the desired outcome and the intricacy of the design you're working on.
The size and type of cartridge you need depend on the specific details of the tattoo you're creating. Our selection includes liners, shaders, and magnum cartridges in various configurations, such as:
- Soft edge
- Textured
- Power liners and super liners
- Round tip and open tip
- Curved, tight, extra tight, and more
Lining with Precision
When it comes to lining, the choice of cartridge size is paramount. Our needle cartridges for lining are designed to create crisp, clean lines that define the outline of your tattoo art. For fine line work, we recommend using a smaller needle size, ranging from 3RL to 7RL, ensuring each line is sharp and precise.
Shading with Depth
Shading adds depth and dimension to tattoos, requiring a needle cartridge that allows for smooth gradients and fill. Our shading cartridges range from 7M1 to 15M1, enabling artists to achieve various shading effects and depths with ease. The wider the needle grouping, the more area you can cover efficiently, making our cartridges perfect for detailed shading work.
Color Packing with Vibrancy
Color packing demands cartridges that can hold and deliver ink consistently for vibrant, saturated colors. Our selection includes needle cartridges optimized for color packing, ranging from 7M1 up to 15M1, depending on the extent of color fill required. These cartridges ensure that ink is evenly distributed, resulting in bold, eye-catching colors that stand the test of time.
Understanding the nuances of each configuration and how they impact your work is crucial. Whether you're filling large areas with color, creating detailed lines, or shading with precision, we have the right cartridge for your needs.
