Traditional Tattoo Cartridge Needles

Traditional Tattoo Cartridge Needles | Types, Structure & Applications

What Are Traditional Tattoo Cartridge Needles?

Traditional tattoo cartridge needles are standard needle configurations widely used in professional tattoo machines for lining, shading, and color packing. They represent the most commonly used needle system in the global tattoo industry due to their stability, versatility, and predictable performance.

At SPACEDRAGON TATTOO / CREDITECH MED, traditional cartridge needles are manufactured under strict engineering control and ISO-based quality systems to ensure consistent performance for professional tattoo artists and OEM brands.

Main Types of Traditional Tattoo Cartridge Needles

Traditional tattoo cartridges are generally divided into the following configurations:

1. Round Liner (RL)

Round Liner cartridges are designed for:

  • Clean outlines

  • Fine detail work

  • Precise line execution

They provide tight needle grouping for maximum accuracy.

2. Round Shader (RS)

Round Shader cartridges are used for:

  • Soft shading

  • Small-area coloring

  • Smooth tonal transitions

They offer a more flexible ink delivery compared to liners.

3. Magnum Series (M1 / RM / CM)

Magnum cartridges are designed for larger coverage and shading work. They are widely used in black & grey and color packing applications.

M1 (Stacked Magnum)

  • Flat, stacked needle arrangement

  • Strong ink delivery

  • Suitable for solid color packing

RM (Round Magnum / Soft Edge Magnum)

  • Slightly curved edge design

  • Balanced softness and control

  • Suitable for smooth shading and gradients

CM (Curved Magnum / True Curved Magnum)

  • Fully curved “C-shape” needle configuration

  • Softer skin contact

  • Ideal for realistic shading and smooth transitions

RM vs CM Difference

Although RM and CM are both magnum-type configurations, they are not identical:

  • RM (Round Magnum) focuses on balanced performance between control and softness

  • CM (Curved Magnum) provides a more pronounced curvature for softer blending and smoother skin transitions

Both are widely used in professional tattoo shading, but CM is generally preferred for realism and soft gradient work.
