needle tip

Where injection enters

The needle tip is the sharp, pointed end of a needle—the part that pierces fabric, skin, or other material.

The term appears in sewing, medicine, and tattooing, where needle tip size and shape affect performance: Use a finer needle tip for delicate fabrics.

In technical contexts, it may refer to any slender, tapered point resembling a needle's end.
