The size of the needle and the size of the tip should match unless you are using bugpin needles, in which case the tip should be two sizes smaller than the needle.

Can you use a flat tattoo needle to make an outline like you can use a magnum tattoo needle?
You can if you need to, but I would not recommend doing this for a whole tattoo. Not that there is anything wrong with it per se, but you are taking at risk unneeded trauma to the skin with this configuration as opposed to using a nice tight Round Liner.

How far do you let a tattoo needle stick out the tube while doing a tattoo?
About the width of a dime. Remember, you are only wanting to go halfway down the dermis. You have seven layers of skin, so you want to go down only three to four layers at most. Going to far will make the ink blurry and will create scarring...not going deep enough will make the ink fall out.

What needle and tips to use for shading a tattoo?
That all depends on the size of the tattoo that you are doing, and what you are trying to accomplish whether it be soft shading, coloring, etc. If you are using disposable tube and needle combos, which you should, then the appropriate sized tip will be included with the needle. However, since you must ask I will take it that you are new to the game, so practice on your own legs before you ever tattoo another person and be safe. Best of luck.

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.
