I hope that novice tattooists can remember the characteristics of various needles and find the most suitable needles to avoid choosing the wrong needle type. , Making the effect not reach the ideal state.

1. What is the difference between needles of different colors?
According to the common ones in the market, the needles of different colors have different hardness and hardness.
White skin needle: the highest hardness.
Yellow skin needle: medium hardness.
Blue, green and red skin needles: the softest.
2. What are the particularities in the use of soft and hard needles?
We can all see that all the needles are made up of thin single needles. However, each thin single needle is also divided into microneedles, fine needles, and blunt needles; soft needles and hard needles.
Needle pieces of different hardness have different effects on the operation and coloring, and the color retention time of the coloring material is also different. Of course, if you pass the technical level, these are no problems.
The microneedle is a very fine needle tip, the skin trauma is very small, and at the same time, less pigment is brought into the skin, and repeated coloring accelerates the damage of the skin; the fine needle tip can bring the pigment into the skin very well. At the same time, make the skin less damaged and color it all at once;
When a blunt needle is used, the needle tip is round and does not damage the skin, but it cannot penetrate into the skin. The pigment stays on the stratum corneum (dead cells). After one or two metabolisms, the color disappears.
3. Which is better, soft needle or hard needle?
Generally, the needle has different thicknesses such as 0.3mm, 0.25mm, 0.18mm.
Hard needle: A single needle is relatively hard, and it is easier to practice hands when drawing the skin, but because it is relatively hard, the force used is relatively large, resulting in relatively heavy shots.
Blunt needles: For newcomers, hard needles are not easy to paint on real people, and the lines are relatively thick.
Soft needle: Because the single needle is softer and more flexible, the color is better and the line is thinner.
In the market, there have been more and more novice tattoo artists in the past two years. In order to meet market demand, the market has continuously pursued needle softness. As a result, many novice tattoo artists have thinner and thinner eyebrows, even like fluff.
The eyebrows produced by this type of needle were colored at the time. In the later stage, the eyebrows were either no color left, or they were just like misty eyebrows, without obvious distinct lines.
Therefore, when we novice tattooists choose needles, it is best to choose needles with consistent hardness and good unisexuality. After many long hours of use and control of the needle movement of the needle, the needle method of the operation, the change of the intensity, the free control of the color rate, and the accurate prediction of the color retention rate can be well mastered.
