- Do you understand tattoo needles?
Are you familiar with what the code "#08-03-RL" means?
In this video we will be diving into and learning how to decode the tattoo needles data to help us better pick the appropriate needles for the tattoo at hand.
We will dive into decoding the numbers on the needle packaging, we will take a first hand look at different needle configurations, we will do a side by side comparison, and more!
I am confident that by the end of this video you will leave with a better understanding of tattoo needles. This is what I would consider basic we will advance and dive more in depth with more needles as well soon.

awesome tutorial..i went from zero to a 100 in 49minutes…very thorough and detailed and clarify all the confusion…thank you so much, i started 2 weeks ago and my biggest confusion is the needles..what needle and what number and what code..now i know it all!
It does make sense to me. Thank you for your tips. I love your videos keeping it up man.
Great information of needles...which I never seen in any other youtube channels☺️ty❤️

Also just diving into tattooing and wondering what sizes are best, I’ve found a few “ assorted cartridge kits “ but not knowing what is a basic starter size for lining and shading would be a huge help.
Awesome clip bro. The vids that you share are so informative and helpful. Thank you
As always very Helpful per usual

You are such a lifesaver.
Great info here man this stuff is why I follow you.. you’ve saved me from a lot of mistakes and saved me money dude! Like if I could ask.. it would be a great idea seeing as how you have a lot of fake skin laying around.. could you possibly start drawing lines after you’ve done tattoos of the all the sizes like you did at the end here until you’ve got an example of all the configurations on one pice and do a video retouching this subject showing your results.. make great content and would indefinitely help newbies like myself save a few bucks and headaches🙏
I'm just glad he's not a foreigner trying to explain at least I can understand
Got my notebook ready!
I do like your explanation thanks A lot

Can you make a video showing the proper way to tighten the components within the CNC-Q2? if they seem lose or doesn’t sound as good as it should
This helped me alot
Great video!!! Thanks bro
you would be a awesome teacher
Thanks for the content foo
Merci beaucoup.... really help 😉👍
Dang it would have loved to see the shader and liner side by side same configuration! Also what do you do with your cartridges during needle changes. And an up close of inking wiping ultimate details. That's where I worry cause no one gives those details. Seems insignificant and small, but I feel as though they are important.
Awsome,just learning
That’s awesome! I’m glad I am able to help you in a better direction. 🤝
Hello! Thank you so much for this video. I'd like to know if you did a ranking with all this cartridges? Or can you tell me just which are ok and which aren't?
And for cartridges like "Big Wasp" or "Quelle" for exemple, are this brands that we can find on cheap websites good or is it copies?
Thank you very much and have a nice day!
Hi Daniel... Just a question for you. What are your favorite needles for lining, shading, stippling and so on?
So GOOD!
Thank you Alex! I appreciate your time, your feedback and your support!
I’m a huge fan of the 7rl. I’ve never tried lining with a shader. I’m getting used to mags, but 7rl is my go-to
7rl use to be me go too till I used a 5rs
My go to liner is hard to say but I’m super comfortable with the 7rl. I think for me it depends on the tattoo design at hand that would determine the sizes I choose.
If I may, what style of tattoos do you do on your end?
@@angusmcdeath8403 do you prefer to use round shaders over round liners ?
@@DanielYuck right now, no specific kind. I’m still so simple tattoos with mainly lines and stipple shading. I wanna go into traditional tattooing, which is why I wanna get good with lining with a shader. I also just bought 11rl for those thick traditional lines
@@DanielYuck for the styles that I do I only stock 3rl bugpin, 5rl, 5rs and 9rs for my lining set, I found over the years that it's what works best for me
there are some needles cartridge tubes that hold alot more ink than others. i hate when i get a new brand and the ink tends to run out immediately as needle hits skin, and some, like the Quelle, hold the ink so well, its great for a session.
I know exactly what you mean! I’ve used several where I found myself going back more over what I would like.
I’ll always use less ink in my needle cartridge chamber over a lot to avoid pooling. The Quelle needles are great for this approach and overall great needles in general.
cool man thanks for sharing !

I have the old school machine what needles are best to line and shade in
I’m sure it’s been answered already but are these cartridges inner changeable between machines?? I’m looking at getting a mast flip and just not to fond of some of their needles I would rather get higher end needles if they’ll work. Thanks for the great videos and info
Thank you!
You're welcome! Thank you as well for you time and support I appreciate you.
Love this ! Great info ! Would it be possible for you to show the different lines on fake skin with these needles ?!
And if you could show when you would choose to use whatever size needle for different lines and stuff ?
I actually just released a video where I demonstrated real time and show you a visual demonstration we can reference to get an idea of the needle sizes.
In this video we compare round liners and round shaders

@@karinameranza6416 For this specific I think watching my follow along videos and tattooing videos would help shed light on what needles I choose and why. I can make a video dedicated to this specific. It will vary from person to person why they chose to use the needles they use. I think this would be beneficial for a lot of people. Bare with me as I get it all developed.
What would be the best brand of needle cartridges to use on skin
Could you please tell me about " F cartridges"and or for which work they are built to?
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? :)
Does his heal as 1 bold line or will it show the multiple lines (for the 9 & 14)?
awesome video with lots of info!! where did you get the pictures that shows the diagram of needles?
Thank you ! I appreciate your feedback and support.
The images came from google to illustrate the point I am trying to make.
so just to make things for sure a smaller diameter is kinda use for like thinner lines and a bigger diameter is like for a line that’s thicker? if not please explain for me please 🙏
Needle taper, if you use the same penetrating deapth, lets say 1mm, does the tapered needle not get a thiner gauge then, as you don't use the whole needle as it in theory gets longer before reaching the messured gauge at its thickest part. A 1203 becomes like a 1003?
Is there a pack you can buy that has all needle sizes or the most common, or are they all search and find individually ?
A question, is thar Cyrus the reat or Darius on the backbof that packaging? Or someone else? And i wish you havd a micro camera to set on slow motion and record how they work.
Ty so much
ur a a legend! tyty♥
Thank you for the kind feedback and support! I appreciate that.
its a paint brush lesson, lol. ty much making it so simple
Nice video
When trying to understand tattooing, this has been the most difficult for me, thank you. #DanielYuck
Hi I'm a new beginner I'm not good with numbers that's going to be a struggle for me so I read it for you just tell me what needle to use I took a picture of that chart that you showed with all the numbers the dots and all that just can you tell me what needle to use for straight lines and to blend in the colors an
Doesn’t RM stand for rounded mag (or curved mag or softedge mag) and not for a round mag?
Bro let’s say 3rl 12 .3rl 10 .3rl 8 .right so does each one have a different needle depth to go in ? I seen someone use a bugpin n they just use the tip of the needle then I seen a standard n the stick it in more
Great video!! 👍🏼My question is if two needles have the same needle count but deferent diameters is the needle with the smaller diameter going to be thinner? And if so, can I also use a needle with less needle count but larger diameter to achieve the same line?? 🙏🏼
Yes that would be correct to my understanding! If the diameters of the needles are smaller the overall line thickness will reflect that. If the diameter is larger the lines will be bolder. I’m terms of using a needle with less count but larger diameter I can’t be certain as every design would call for different approaches and every artist would approach this differently.
I recently made a video about the visual differences between round liners and round shaders and that video is right here m.th-cam.com/video/iDZs_a6en10/w-d-xo.html
Don’t hesitate to let me know if you have any questions at all.
@@DanielYuck isn't it more or less what you prefer in all honesty though?I started out usen alot of 7rl even on smaller tattoos to achieve the thickness of the most lines I would use a 1207rl but then for smidge bigger tattoos I'd use a 1209rl and the boldness of certain lines looked way better so I started usen 1209rl on most outter lines then inner lines id use a 1205rl and for fine cursive in the same tattoo id use a 3rl.....bug pins imo aren't for everyone....I use both but standard is where your big bold lines are at
I want to figure out how to tattoo my goats and rabbits… for showing identification. So which needle configuration would I use?
Learning has occurred. Lol ty
so i think what keeps confusing me os when you learn gauges for ears or wire it goes backwards a 18 being smallest & the smaller the number the larger the diameter. like a 6 is bigger than a 10... but am i understanding correctly this does NOT apply to tattoo needles for some reason.? so an 8(bugpin) is actually smaller than a 10 or a 12??? so a 10 is smaller than a 12 but larger than an 8? do i have this correct? because the whole backwards rhing was so heavily embedded in my brain that it made this specific part very confusing to me
What is a good needle to use for filling in big tattoos? Like a punisher skull.
I use a wormhole tattoo pen. Please heart this is you reply so I'm notified that you responded. Thank you stay safe and blessed. Love the videos
Can you upload a video with you actually tattooing with the needles ?
What does “HRL” mean.?
I have a coil machine and some needles I have came with diamond plastic tips 7dt & 9dt what do I use with those?
It is a bit hard to say as I am not totally certain what part you are speaking about I would have to see it to be able to say accurately and for that I apologize. Feel free to email me a picture of the plastic tips you're speaking about and I maybe able to assist in a better direction.
@@DanielYuck it’s cool. It’s the plastic tips that get matched up with the needles.

Good friend
Thank you so much for another great video !!! 💪💣💪
But for BugPin I'm still confused ... You say that BugPin is gauge #08 and I totally agree with you, but why some brands use the same gauge and the same needles configuration
where however for them a needle is normal and a else is a bugpin? For example, Cheyenne Safety cartridges have these configurations, I will mention a few just for example:
03 Liner Long Taper 0.30
03 Liner BugPin Long Taper 0.30 (Why??? What's the difference? One is like that: 03, RL, #10, LT and the other too!)
or
05 Magnum Long Taper 0.35
05 Magnum BugPin Long Taper 0.35 (Why is one Bugpin and the other not?!?!?? What's the difference?)
or again
09 Liner Long Taper 0.30
09 Liner BugPin Long Taper 0.30 (Why??? What's the difference?)
I guarantee you that Cheyenne is not the only brand that makes this distinction!
Nobody can answer this question, not even the suppliers !!!
This makes me think that the Bugpin is not the # 08 gauge but some other characteristic linked perhaps to the welding of the needles! I don't know... 😩
Please somebody help me understand, if you have an answer, please !!! 🙏🙏💚🙏🙏 Thank you so much!
Hey thank you for your feedback and support ! I appreciate you.
Now forgive me I’m not fully understanding the entire question. I read the comment over and over but I couldn’t fully get the question at hand and again for that I apologize. May you please explain the question for me?
@@DanielYuck Yes, for sure! Thank you so much! I apologize for my bad English ... 😅😅😅
It is very difficult to explain this whole concept in writing! What I mean is this:
- We have defined that the "BUGPIN" needles are the # 8 gauge needles (0.25) ... Perfect! 👌
So... why do many suppliers sell cartridges of well-known brands, with needles that are gauge # 10 (0.30) or # 12 (0.35) as Bugpin,
but especially with the same gauge they have normal needles and Bugpins needles?
For example, Fk Irons produces the "Vertix" and there are the:
Vertix # 12 (0.35) (RL - RS - RM) www.killerinktattoo.co.uk/box-of-20-vertix-cartridges-0-35mm-long-taper-magnum
Vertix # 12 (0.35) (RL - RS - RM) BUGPIN www.killerinktattoo.co.uk/box-of-20-vertix-cartridges-0-35mm-bugpin-long-taper-magnum
The first is Normal, the second is Bugpin with the same gauge! That is not necessarily # 8 (0.25)
Another example is Cheyenne cartridges: www.killerinktattoo.co.uk/box-of-20-cheyenne-hawk-cartridges-all-configurations
In this case you can see in the list that there are equal gauges but one is normal and the other is Bugpin!
So, are we sure that the BUGPIN as a definition is just gauge # 8 or is it something else (which I still don't understand) ???
I apologize again for the inconvenience and I hope I was clearer this time! Thank you so much Daniel! 💛🧡❤️
@@antoniocalo4213, I can't answer as to how they describe their inventory but, #8 and #10 are considered bugpins. They get the name from scientists using those sizes to pin butterflies and other bugs to the board they are displayed on. They are based on needle diameter. I used your links and it looks like they may be typos. Hard to tell. You should be able to email, text, or call them to ask them.
@@tobimiley thank you so much for answer me! I'll follow your advice to write an e-mail 😅🤗🤗🤗
Which 14 rs do you use to line.
Quelle.?
Another informative video. Two things. Firstly this vid seems to concentrate on the differences between needle diameter within the same config, which is fantastic so thankyou for that. Secondly. Unfortunately you seemed to have missed my point when asking, which was the line diameter difference between rl and rs, using the same needle size and point count. And the point count difference for the same line diameter between rl and rs. As in a 1205rs would need a 12??rl to make the same line . But on the whole a damn informative video so thankyou
Oh and thirdly. Damn Daniel how much did you just waste on unusable needles. Lol.
The difference between round shaders and liners is how the grouping is soldered together. Has nothing to do with diameter or taper. If you know anything about making needles you would know that liners are soldered further down the bar making the tips tighter. Round shaders don't have as much soldered towards the tip making the grouping more loose. Hope that helps
@@tomdeibler3635 yeah I get that. And thankyou for clarifying just incase any readers didn't. My question was more in search of a comparison of line diameter. For instance. I want a line at x thickness. Achievable by using say a 1209rs. But I don't have one. Which rl would give the equivalent line thickness.
The only way to do that would be to sculpt your lines. I do that a lot so that I'm not burning through my needles. If you get on my Instagram you'll see what I mean. I'll use say a 7rl and build with it where it looks like I used a 14rl. My ig is tommyd_tattooer if you wanna see my work.
How I would describe the difference between round liners and round shaders is the space in between each needle. We have more space in between each needle making the needle bolder. That maybe due to where the needles are soldered which would determine that as tom stated. He does good work and is relaying good informations
In terms of needle comparison I just made a video demonstrating different needles in different sizes so it maybe able to shed a bit of light on this particular question.
th-cam.com/video/iDZs_a6en10/w-d-xo.html
I think this video maybe able to shed a bit more light on this question over me trying to explain. Per usual dont hesitate to let me know if you have any questions at all.
@@fuglybob9757 that I feel is something we have to develop into. To be able to know tattooing needles well enough to anticipate the appropriate size. Although in the new video ive mentioned maybe able to shed some light on this for you
