Tattoo cartridge needles are the modern standard for professional tattooing, combining the needle, tube, and membrane into a single sterile, snap-in unit. Compared to traditional needle-and-tube setups, cartridges reduce cross-contamination risk, speed up changeovers between clients, and work with most modern rotary and pen-style machines.
We carry cartridge needles across every major configuration so you can find the right setup for the work you're doing:
- Round Liners (RL) — for clean linework and fine detail
- Round Shaders (RS) — for shading, small fills, and soft detail work
- Magnums (M1/RM) — for larger shading and colour packing
- Flat Shaders (F) — for geometric lines and controlled edges
- Curved Magnums (CM) — for smooth blending over larger areas
