The Round Shader #12 (0.30 mm) Long Taper (3.5 mm) is built for smooth gradients, soft shading, and delicate blending. Unlike round liners, these needles are spaced more loosely in a circular formation, allowing for controlled ink flow and softer transitions. The long taper minimizes trauma, giving artists the ability to build depth gradually while creating subtle blends and seamless fills.

The Electrum Fire™ Tattoo Needle Cartridges were built to rival industry giants like Kwadron, giving professional tattooers the stability, sharpness, and durability they demand. Each cartridge features a single-piece body for maximum strength, color-coded identification for quick setup (RED = Round), and a double-stabilization system that completely eliminates wobble. With a non-latex membrane to block backflow and 316 surgical steel for uncompromising strength, Fire™ cartridges are engineered for flawless, consistent results.
