    Thanks, didn’t know the difference between 10s and 12s.
  • @hacedms
    Hi, what stroke do you use for lining with bug pins?
  • @lafaerachan
    Thank you so much once again! W.e my question is you’re poppin up!
  • i'm a artist from Brazil, i saw at Aliexpress a EZ cartridge, could you approache this kind needle cartridge next?
  • The 5 on that is the size of the tip. Like you said the bug pin 7 is the size of a 5. So they pair it with a 5 tip.
  • @Maccc2100
    So a bugpin 7rl is like a standard 1205round liner. Which a standard rl is a 0.35 mm correct? So if I were to buy a bugpin 0.25mm 7rl you are saying to turn down the voltage on the tat pen because it will shred the skin more ? What voltage should I set it at ?
  • @TXmadePIG
    Maybe go over all needle types and what they mean and are used for?
  • @moosby999
    thank you very much for the video :) i have a question 😅 isnt it so that there is not a huge difference if you choose a standard 12 03RL or for example a 10 05RL? i mean they make both about the same thick lines right? so is it better to have a thicker gauge but less needles, or a thinner gauge but with more needles? :)
  • @EddieAlcantar
    What voltage do you use with your standards, I want to know the difference between your usage of standard to big pins.
  • The five might be the tube size the needle is sitting in possibly.
  • @sumantiyan825
    What voltage should I use for lining and what voltage for packing colour.
  • @amaddinthenow
    By bugpin you mean 8 or 10? And how would this rule of (-2) size points work with 8/12 and 10/12?
