The answer is that it is a metal, not medal.
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.
This is talking about the tip of the needle. Standard is round, i don't know about curved, that's kind of scary, at least I have never heard of them, however there are tapered tips as well, which is probably what your talking about. Mag needles are stacked, if there is no stack they are also called flats. For the artist, tattooing is all about technique, and depending on your technique, you may choose to use a tapered needle, or a standard round.
Yes and in most cities an ultrasonic cleaner is a required piece of equipment for any tattoo studio. The ultrasonic waves in the solution break down and loosen the pigments inside the needle tips, tubes and grips. This is the first stage in cleaning the equipment before it's packaged and autoclaved** ( **sterilized). The needles should be single use and must be removed from the needle bars in front of the client, the used needles are thrown into an approved Sharpes container, the needle bars can be run in the ultrasonic, cleaned, sterilized and used to build new needle sets later built from brand new needles.

That would all be relative to the size of the mag since they have to match up. Too large...the needle will jump a little from side to side, too tight...you will be banging up the needles in the nib. If you have to ask, then you need a tad bit more help than this I'd wager, but in any event...I am of the opinion that this day in age that stainless tubes are outdated and overly just not as sterile as I'd like them to be even after they've been ultrasoniced, scrubbed, autoclaved and spore tested. I find that using prepackaged and disposable needle/grip combos are the only way to go anymore and have been doing this for the last few years. It completely eliminates ANY chance of cross contamination, and to me, is the only logical way to go.
