Liners are grouped in a circular pattern which gives them their nickname, rounds. Used mostly for outlining tattoos, liners come in as small as a single needles and can generally reach up to an 18 round. Single needles are rarely used by most tattoo artists, except occasionally for very fine line work. The most common groupings for liner needles include 3, 4, 5 and 7, but you can also find needles grouped in 8, 9, 11, 13, 14, 15 and 18, and some suppliers even offer a 19 and 20.
Some suppliers offer tattoo needles in assorted sizes which are commonly used in tattooing, just save your time by folllowing that.

Can you outline with round colouring needles?
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

What are the best needles to use for oldschool tattoos?
It's all a matter of opinion, but for more traditional tattoos, you will want to use a thick line which means that you will want to use nothing smaller than a 7RL. Having a smaller outlining needle is not really needed since there is very little emphasis on varying line value with these kinds of tattoos. For fill, you want to use judge that more so based on the size of the piece that you are doing. Once again with these tattoos, there is not a lot of emphasis on saturation of great blending, so for the more "traditional" look, a small to mid-range mag needle is the most used.
