Have you ever thought to yourself "How Do I Pick The Correct Tattoo Needle"?

In this video we will dive into the depths of my thought process and approach that I take to meticulously select the best needle configurations for the design at hand. I feel picking out the most appropriate needle configurations possible for the tattoo design at hand will add quality, interest and a better read on the tattoo.

For me personally when it comes to picking out needles for my tattoo design I am always considering multiple variables, allow me to elaborate. So upon picking out needles before I think about grabbing a needle I will take a good look at the requested design and determine first and foremost if it is even something I am capable of doing and or in my style range.

If it is not a tattoo I am able to do I will let the client know and why. When it is a style I am comfortable with I will begin to start getting an idea of what needles I want to use based off of the design and the lines the design has. So I am openly thinking about the readability and look of the tattoo prior to making the stencil.

So when I am making the stencil on the iPad I will use a line weight that I more or less want in the actual stencil. By inputting different line weights into the stencil from the jump will help me determine the most appropriate needle configurations for the design at hand.

I also take into consideration the actual size of the canvas I will be working on and the best needle sizes to fill the area at hand. I feel all of these fundamentals provide us with a foundation that allows us to make more calculated choices upon picking our needles.

I will list the needles I have used and do use below.

  • @vapestar3705
    This is how I was taught to tattoo and on coil machines....my first teacher told me you have to have atleast 4 to 6 machines at all times set up n ready for thicker to thinner lines and atleast 2 for shading or color packing.....now with cartridges it's so so much easier especially if you own a machine that has adjustable stroke and give.....love this video man keep up the good work!
  • @dennislopez6598
    Dude I just watched the whole video...It was absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for explaining everything. As a new tattoo artist I will practice this technique over and over.
  • @jessdrawsit7060
    it was interesting watching this because as you'd speak, your voice would drift into the same pitch as the tattoo machine and it made it sound like you were on the verge of breaking into song lol. Thank you for the very helpful video!
  • @nikkib7775
    These are the best tattoo videos ive ever seen. You are so thorough with your explanations and you make it so easy to understand. Thank you!
  • @aprilallen2728
    Just like a sketch you have a different pen for different lines, and designs. It makes sense to me. Thank you. I am just starting out and I am learning what needles are for what. This is perfect. Thank you!
  • @PoppyC62
    Thank you for explaining your thought process behind which needle groups you select for which lines on the stencil. I have a tendency of selecting smaller needles rather than are required sized and wind up egret it later.
