In almost all instances, one uses a 3RL, or perhaps a 7RL. All depends on the artist and the size of the piece.
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.
to do the outline on a tattoo you need a needle called a liner for instance you could use a 14 round liner. now for shading you need a shader which is another kind of needle now you can use a 14 round shader or a 14 flat mag shader that answer your question and an p.s you can get a needle any size they can go as small as 1 all the way up to a 49 flat and so on
7 or 9 magnum or a 14 round for heavy filling such as tribal .......
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.
A liner to get the solid lines and a round shader ir small mag to get the thicker parts. Im trying new things so im not too sure but tuning is key. Just stay away from scratchers on u tube, learn from eikons information which is professional info on machines by artists/builders not u tube know nothings like tattootraining
Outlines.
You just said it yourself: Lining. Five rounds are used to create a finer, more delicate line though, but it also depends on how heavy handed you are. If you're heavy handed, then your five round lines could look like seven round lines.
They are for fine lines and detail that's in the tattoo you can also use this needle to do awhole tattoo for lines and shading without changing needles
07 needle grouping Round Liner so now its not a shading needle
Do u mean what is a 3 round liner tattoo needle used for? The 3 represents how many needles total, and round means they are arranged in a circle as opposed to lined up beside one another, liner means it is used for making lines. A 3RL is most commonly used for tattooing very fine lines in small or very detailed tattoos or lettering.
Until you have the skill to use a liner for coloring I would suggest you keep to the shader for coloring, you can dig holes in your client with a liner and that would not be a good idea. When using a shader for coloring use small circles to fill in the areas you want to color, ensure you have good skin tension and don't rush.

It is used for outlining a fair sized tattoo that is not too big or small. If the body or piece is very big, for example a big customer then you should use a 4-7 round liner.

RLB:R - RoundL - LinerB- BugpinThis means that the needle is set up in a round configuration, with a tight grouping for lining, and composed of bugpin needles which are thinner than your standard #12 needles (usually #08). So what you have is a much thinner lining needle usually for detail work or highlights.
