Flat Shader Needles
Larger flat needles can be used for colour fills and shading as they deliver more ink quickly with just one pass. Flat needles are good for intricate shading such as in geometric patterns and some mandala work. Flat shader needles are also common in semi-permanent makeup.
Correspondingly, can you use the same tattoo needle for different colors?
You can use the same needle! You could use a disposable cup with soapy water to swill the needle in and wipe the excess moisture off with some tissue paper before dipping into the next colour.
Accordingly, what colors stay best in tattoos?
For those with medium or tanned skin, oranges, greens, and bright blues work well. For darker skin tones, the darkest colors, like royal blue, crimson red, and black, work best. Lighter shades, such as light blue and white, don’t show up as well, whereas darker tattoo pigments bring out the color in the skin.
