“Mainly for linework, fine details, and occasionally whip shading or small areas of solid colour. For me, needles are like brushes: I choose them depending on the project and the canvas. Different types of skin sometimes respond better to different cartridge configurations, so I don't believe each needle should have only one purpose.”

“Mainly for small areas of shading, controlled colour packing, and places where a magnum would be too large. They give me more coverage than a liner while still allowing plenty of control.”

“A must-have everywhere.”

“Curved – or round – magnums mainly for shading, smooth transitions, and larger areas of colour packing. Their rounded edge feels more forgiving and gentler on the skin, especially when working patiently in larger areas.”

“Consistent and reliable results.”

“I appreciate equipment that is simple, reliable, and built to a very high standard. What matters most to me is the quality and consistency of its power delivery. It gives the machine a very stable and predictable response throughout the entire session, so I can focus completely on the tattoo instead of constantly thinking about or adjusting my equipment.”

“I originally started using the Inkjecta because I saw that an artist I really admire, Ad Pancho, was using it. I tried it, felt very comfortable with it, and worked with it for many years. At some point I experimented with different wireless and battery-powered setups, but never felt completely comfortable. Then I went to get tattooed by Pancho, noticed he was still using the Inkjecta, bought one again – and as soon as I started using it, I felt completely at home.”

“The SOL Grip has always felt very well built to me. It holds the cartridge firmly and securely, which makes the whole setup feel stable and dependable while I'm working.”

“A must-have everywhere.”
