1. Tighten the circular needle (RL)
Nowadays, it is often used for "cutting", mainly for making lines. Commonly used needle types include 1RL, 3RL, 5RL, 7RL, 9RL, 11RL, 14RL, and 18RL. The number represents the number of needles. For example, 3RL is 3 needle points. , 9MS is 9 pin points. Choose different tattoo needles according to the different line thickness required for different tattoos. The needle types are arranged from small to large, the larger the line, the thicker the line. The characteristics of the tightened round needle are high line saturation and easy coloring.
"12" represents the diameter of each tattoo needle, and "12" means that the diameter of each needle is 0.35 mm, which is a standard size. The larger the diameter of the tattoo needle, the faster the ink will flow on the needle and it will be easier to color, but the accuracy will not be high.
2. Scattered round needle (RS)
Generally suitable for fogging and expanding lines in small areas. For example, when making totems, you can use loose-mouth round needles at the corners. Commonly used needle types include 3RS, 5RS, 7RS, 9RS, 11RS, and 14RS. The characteristic of circular needles is that they cause less damage to the skin and can make small area transitions.
3. Hollow circular needle (HRL)
This needle type is similar to the loose-mouth needle type, but has more ink storage capacity. Commonly used needle types include 7HRL, 9HRL, 11HRL, 13HRL, 15HRL, and 18HRL.
