In this regard, what are curved magnum needles for?
Round curve magnums are used for shading, blending and coloring large areas with less impact to the skin. The needles are made in an arch formation to better deflect the skin when it goes in and out.
Then, what tattoo needle is best for thick lines?
#12 gauges are highly popular across all needle groupings and tattoo styles. Anyone referring to #12 or 0.35mm needles may also call them Standards. Common in lining and traditional work as they have a faster ink flow. Great for bold lines and colour packing/shading large areas.
How far should a tattoo needle stick out?
What does a tattoo needle feel like?

What angle do you tattoo at?
between 75 and 90
