Not usually. A "round" needle is actually a group of needles welded together. An outlining needle is one needle. If you outlined with a shading needle you'd get a very thick line. If the piece has real thick outlines, you could use a shading needle to do them, but most tattoos have thin outlines. This would be what you call lack of knowledge see me myself i have used up to an eighteen round liner (18 RL) the difference is the configuration where a liner is set so that the tips of the needles are clustered in a tight round configuration the shader's are a little more spread out , and to answer your question you could use a shader to line with but your line would be foggy or blurry because you points are spread to far apart

For colouring a tattoo are round shader needles betterthan flat?

It is a matter of how large a area you are shading flats and large magnums are best for coloring large areas. A Round shader works well for smaller areas. The other problem with flats is that if done improper they can work like a knife and slice the skin.

For coloring a tattoo are round shader needles betterthan flat?

It depends on the artist's preference,yes. There are 3 types of needle configuration.... Firstly the round which is self explanatory its a group of needles in a round grouping. Ranginf between 1 and anywhere up to 21 needles usually between 7 and 14 are used for colouring. Flats are a single layer of needles next to each other in a line. Usually 4/ 6 needles. Magnum is needles in a line like the flat but with 2 or 3 layers. Usually 9 needles. If your having a large tattoo done a mag (magnum) would be better as its quicker causing less distress you the customer because you have to sit for less time. However like i say it depends on the artist and their personal preferences if they like to use rounds let them use round its what they are comfortable with and what will get the best results. Oh and It doesnt matter what colours hes using it all hurts about the same. I'm going to disagree on the "it all hurts about the same" thing. The last piece I had done has dark blue, black and red. Red ink is, to me, more painful than other colors. The artist explained: red ink is thinner than other colors, and needs more work to get it up to color in the skin. That's more due to the artist's technique. Thin ink will spread into place when it flows over or is wiped down. I'd say, in that case, it's more likely that the artist has used a needle that they prefer to use for the sake of comfort, sticking to what they are familiar with, rather than using the right needle to complete coverage efficiently. I had a situation where I had some ink given to me as a tester. All the colours were watery and were hard to fill, especially red and yellow. I switched to a 6F instead of 7RS and it worked alot better. Still cheap and nasty inks but the end result vastly improved without going over the skin to force fill it. That's why I always test new products on practice skin.

Can you knit a hat with straight needles?

You can if you seam up the side and it it is a great thing to do for beginners when you have the right pattern, which is the difficult part. Alternatively, if you do not wish to use circular needles you can use DPNs (double pointed needles) to knit in the round. Often in hat patterns which use circular needles you will need DPNs anyway, so it is good to have some of these when you knit in the round.

Do all coniferous hold there needles and if not which type of coniferous needles fall?

Evergreen conifers hold needles all year round and gradually lose the old ones throughout the year. As the young needles grow constantly this needle drop is not noticible. Larch, Metasequoia and Ginko are deciduous.


What difference is there between a 5 or 7 round liner when tattooing?

One has 5 needles whereas the other has 7. 5 Round Liners are the most common lining needle since they make a nice clean line without being too bold. So, the more bold you want the outer outline to be would run in accordance to the overall number of needles in the cluster. Line value is extremely important in tattoos that have a better sense of depth and intricacy, and it is for this reason that a lot of artists will sometimes set up several different machines with different sized lining needles to get a better overall image that pops.


Why knit with two circular needles in the round instead of just one?

Just as when you change needle sizes using straight needles to give the effect you want -- you can change needle sizes when working in the round, to give the effect you want.Doubling up two needles at the same time would give you a looser knit and could prove cumbersome.


How do you k now if a tattoo needle is a round shader or not?

Shaders are usually called by the name of their configuration. most coil machines use 3 needles as their liners, then they move to a flat shader then on to round shaders with more needles for higher concentration of ink injection.


How do conifer trees survive?

They adapt to their climate by having needles that stay all year round. These hold in water. They also have more chloroplast. Because the needles stay all year round, photosynthesis can occur more quickly, as soon as the water melts.
