Explore Cartridges and Needles for Permanent Makeup at MB Beauty Supplies

Are you navigating the world of permanent makeup as an artist or enthusiast? Delve into the realm of tattoo needles and cartridges with our comprehensive guide, designed to simplify the selection process and elevate your work.

Choosing the right tattoo needles and permanent makeup needles amidst the plethora of options available can be overwhelming. Fortunately, our article breaks down the essential characteristics and technical details of PMU needles and cartridges, empowering you to make informed decisions tailored to each client's needs.

Traditional nozzle needles, while prevalent, pose risks of infection transmission and inconvenience due to their design. To enhance sterility and safety, we advocate for cartridge or module-based needles featuring disposable components.

The most commonly encountered needle diameters range from 0.25 to 0.35 millimeters, offering versatility across various techniques and zones. From creating intricate hair strokes to rapid coloring for eyebrows and lips, different diameters cater to diverse permanent makeup applications.

Consider the following examples of tattoo needle cartridge diameters:

- Size 6 = 0.2 mm

- Size 8 = 0.25 mm

- Size 10 = 0.30 mm

- Size 12 = 0.35 mm

PRO TIP: Let's delve into the primary diameters and their recommended applications

- 0.25 mm: Perfect for dry or aging skin, this diameter creates gentle shading, making it suitable for all areas. It pairs seamlessly with organic or hybrid pigments like Nude Blush, Hanafy, Even, or PermaBlend.

- 0.30 mm: A versatile choice suitable for both eyebrows and lips, offering universal applicability. It's ideal for depositing inorganic pigments such as ND pigments, Aqua, RB Kollors, and Doreme.

- 0.35 mm: Produces the largest pixel, making it excellent for addressing oily and porous skin types.

In the realm of permanent makeup, needles 01 (single needle) or 03 (three needles together) are commonly employed. With a single needle, one point is applied at a time, while a three-needle applies three simultaneously. The more needles in the solder, the quicker and denser the application, but this also requires more power and pressure from the machine due to increased skin resistance.

Moreover, needle taper plays a crucial role in achieving desired outcomes. Short, medium, and long tapers cater to different techniques, with long tapers favored for masterful shading due to their pigment-retaining properties.

Textured single needle designs, though more traumatic, facilitate deeper pigment implantation, ensuring superior adhesion to the skin. Explore configuration options like RL (Round Liner) for contours and RS (Round Shader) for shading and shadows, each offering unique benefits for your permanent makeup endeavors.

Discover our range of safe PMU Cartridges from reputable brands like Kwadron, Mast, and Cheyenne, featuring membranes to prevent blood and pigment backflow for enhanced sterility and safety.

We trust that this article will guide you in selecting the most suitable cartridges for your PMU work, ultimately refining your micropigmentation skills. Best regards from MB Beauty!
