 |
|
| Just wondering if anybody could let me know of a needle good for a good bold solid outline. What is the difference between a 11 round and a tight 11 round? I was using an 11 round on an orange and the line sucked. Do I need an 11 tight round |

I use a 3 liner or a 5 liner for a lot of my work. A single liner is too thin for my taste,..but has it's applications like really tight spots,..or real fine lines.
Just depends on the thickness of the line you want to make. but be SURE that the needle is a LINER,..and not a shader.
Tights are usually liners,....if it's not specified,..or just says "round" assume its a shader. |

| lol yeah they didnt look too well haha, I think Im gonna order my needle from another place too, somewhere that defines them better, as shader or liner, these guys only define them as round and tight round. I used a seven tight round to outline this

that's not a bad outline,.....
just depends on what the tat requires,.....
some things i have outlined with a single,..because they are completely shaded in,..so the outline wouldn't matter,......(tribals,..etc)......some things require a BIG bold outline,.......a 3, 5 , 7 ,...should be fine on those. |
