Why our cartridge?
A revolutionary, all-in-one tattoo needle cartridge
featuring the latest patented technology
Clean:
Ink Regulator & Anti-Ink Droplet Mechanism
The specially designed hole near the tip, combined with a slender needle nozzle, regulates ink pressure and prevents ink from building up into droplets. This helps maintain consistent ink flow, reduces pooling and splatter, and delivers clean, crisp lines
Stable:
Needle Guide & Stabilizing Membrane
The stabilizing membrane keeps the needle shaft securely positioned against the V-shaped guide for stable, precise movement. This helps reduce wobble and unwanted needle movement while significantly minimizing ink spitting.

Featured testimonials
Honestly I've been really happy with the quality. The needles feel very stable and the ink flow is very consistent. I've tried a lot of different brands over the years and this definitely stands out compared to some of the other cartridges I've worked with before.

The impact of these high-quality cartridges has significantly elevated my tattooing process. The innovative needle alignment and membrane reduces vibration which helps with tight lines, smooth shading, and consistent saturation. This streamlines my workflow and increases efficiency, especially during full day sessions.
@drewhilltattoo
My honest review is all needles hold well when it's being used, the liner never breaks even for a long run. The liner also is very firm so it really holds well even with a 7 volts.
For the round shader it doesn't cut the skin even with 7 layers of color blending which is so good for high contrasted details. For the magnums, I like ur magnums a lot. It's built for conventions and built for long sessions.

Your needles have been amazing to work with. As someone who often pulls long, consistent lines, I really appreciate how much ink your cartridges hold — I don’t have to stop as often to refill. They’re also some of the most stable needles I’ve ever used! I’ve had the chance to try both your liners and curved mags, and they were an absolute pleasure.

Finally I found cartridges that I really love. I think they're the best cartridges I've ever worked with.
