For tribal you want to pack a lot of black in the skin without having to go over and over the area of fill, so a lot of it is pretty basic when you break it down. There is an inherit conflicting practicality when it comes down to learning what grouping is appropriate for what kind of tattoo and how to not induce needless trauma to the skin, and also what shading techniques work best where and why. So, it would all depend the size of the piece really. The whole thing could be done in Round Shaders of smaller grouping, or if it's of a bigger size, then a combination of a good sized Mag needle in addition to at least one machine set up for a Round Shader for the edging and points, but two would be more practical usually.

When doing old English lettering tattoo what is the best type of needle to use?

For the most common size that you would be doing it in. Line it with a 3RL, and then do your edges with 5RS. Then do the middle fill with a 15RS. The bigger the letters, the bigger the shade needle size and in some instances, the liner as well.

What needle should you use to colour tribal tattoos?

This is totally dependent on the size of the piece that you are doing, the bigger the piece, the bigger the needle set. Typically, I like to fill tribal with a round shader as opposed to a mag. In my opinion you get a tighter grouping without having to really work at it, and for the most part, I hit the edges usually with a 15RS, and then will switch over to a 25RS for the middle fill. Most artists, including myself, will have a machine set up solely for tribal. Having a machine set up for a nice long stroke will give you the optimal results for tribal rather than trying to do it with a typical machine set up for general shade.


Is only one needle in a tattoo machine enough?

chances are your outline is done by a 5 or 7 liner (5 or 7 needles grouped tightly together) and your shading/color fill is done with a 7 mag or 14 mag depending on size of tattoo


Which is better, microblading or powder fill tattoo eyebrows?

There is no definitive answer to this question as it depends on personal preferences. Some people may prefer the natural look of microblading, while others may find that powder-fill tattoo eyebrows look more polished and put-together. Microblading is a form of tattooing that uses a very fine needle to deposit pigment into the skin. Powder-fill tattoo eyebrows are a similar technique but use a powder instead of a pigment. Ultimately, it is up to the individual to decide which option they prefer. Studio J Chanel is the best Microblading downtown in Miami visit us now.


When was the first tattoo used in north America?

Undoubtedly the earliest tattoos were practiced by the various Native American tribes across the country. In this instance, the inks were made from various dyes and plants ground down to an opaque and black solution, and they were usually "punched in" by hand. This is when tattoos are done by hand in a method usually referred to as "hand poking" where you do a tattoo by dipping a needle cluster in ink or sometimes a singular needle and continuously poke the skin till you build up the line or the area of fill. This is a method that is still practiced heavily today from homeless kids to professional tattoo artists alike.


What size tattoo needle should i be using?

If your doing a full color tattoo, meaning just one shade i usually use a round shader, if you want to do transaction from light to dark i use a flat mag. Sizes all depends on what your comfortable with, for a large piece or tribal i use a 25rmag and a 5rs for tighter space. for the tip i use the same liner to fill in. but just try and see what works best for you. This is my advice I have 6 years of experience currently working as a tattoo artist. Some artist will agree or disagree with my advice.

Most common needle used for tattoo outlines?

A three round liner or five round liner (3RL or 5RL) is the most common but it does depend on the look you are after and the overall effect it has on the tattoo, the colours involved, the shading in the colours if any etc. One liners are also available and used for super fine lines like in portrait eyelashes etc. For tribals and the like it won't matter too much but better with a 5RL so that you can use it to fill the corners before you begin with the shader.
