Yes, we need something to tattoo, it's needles.

and adjust the machine.

These are needles already installed in a cartridge with a membrane that prevents the grip from staining on the inside.

This system allows you to quickly change the needle in the grip without having to adjust it.

Also called "Cat's Tongue"

It is made in the same way as the magnum 1,

with the difference that its shape is curved.

Usually used for fill, blend, or shadow,

allows for a better transition between applied colors,

because the finish at the ends is finer than a magnum.

Applies grays more delicately.
