Round Shader (RS) Needles: These needles are similar to RL needles, but with more needles bunched together to create a wider line. They are used for shading and coloring large areas of the tattoo design.

Magnum (M1, M2, M3) Needles: These needles have a curved shape and are used for shading and filling in large areas of the tattoo design.

Flat Needles: These needles have a flat shape and are used for creating straight lines and filling in small areas of the tattoo design.

Bugpin Needles: These needles have a smaller diameter than regular tattoo needles and are used for fine details and intricate designs.

Tattoo needle sizes are measured in gauges, with larger numbers indicating smaller needles. The most commonly used needle sizes in tattooing are:

3RL Needles: These needles are used for outlining and fine details.
