Your needle
is your tool.

Every configuration has a purpose. The wrong needle slows you down, blows out lines, or makes shading harder than it needs to be. The right one disappears into your process: smooth, predictable, and sharp through the whole session.

We stock the configurations serious artists reach for. Sourced from the brands professionals trust.

Find your needle.

Round Liner Needles
01
Round Liner
Crisp lines. Zero wobble.

Tightly grouped in a round formation for clean, consistent line work. The standard for outlines, from fine single-needle detail to bold traditional strokes.

Common counts3, 5, 7, 9, 14, 18
Surgical Steel Shop Round Liners
Round Shader Needles
02
Round Shader
Smooth packing. Open spread.

Loosely grouped round needles for shading and color packing. More spread than a liner, allowing ink to flow evenly and blend without stacking in tight spots.

Curved Magnum Needles
03
Curved Magnum
The workhorse of shading.

Arc-shaped configuration that follows the skin's contour naturally. Delivers smoother gradients, reduces trauma, and carries more ink per pass than flat configurations.

Common counts7, 9, 11, 13, 15

Flat Shader Needles
04
Flat Shader
Solid coverage. Sharp edges.

Single-row flat configuration for maximum ink delivery in a single pass. Ideal for solid color fills and geometric work where clean edges matter as much as saturation.

Bugpin Needles
05
Bugpin
Ultra-fine. Unmatched detail.

Thinner gauge diameter (0.25mm vs. standard 0.35mm) for micro-detail work and hair-stroke precision. Less ink flow per pass: slower saturation, greater control.
