tattoo needles

Skin art tools

Tattoo needles are the sterile metal points that deposit ink beneath the skin during tattooing.

They attach to a tattoo machine and move rapidly up and down, puncturing the epidermis to deliver pigment into the dermis.

Needles come in various configurations—liners for outlines, shaders for filling and shading—each grouping multiple pins in different arrangements: She switched to a larger needle grouping for the color work.
