BOLD WILL HOLD
The slogan “bold will hold” is probably older than most practicing tattoo artists and we all know why. A tattoo is not something static. Numerous processes take place in the skin that ages a tattoo. After going through these aging processes, your tattoos will not appear as clear, sharp, and delineated as they did immediately after being tattooed. Designs with bold, rich lines suffer less from this aging than delicate work. But what equipment do you need to create bold, rich lines? Well, sure, big liner configurations. But how do you make them?
Well, most will immediately answer that you solder more or thicker needles into a bundle and get a larger liner configuration. This is true and has been done exactly this way in the past. With almost all tattoo needle manufacturers, you see needles with thicknesses from 0.25 mm to 0.4 mm soldered together into bundles of 3, 5, 7, 9, and many more needles in the supply. As said, this is not wrong but leads to the fact that in large needle assortments, there are configurations whose needle bundles have the same diameter. This makes sense because you can use many thin individual needles to create a needle package that is just as thick as a needle package consisting of a few but thicker individual needles.
FIVE NEW SIZES OF TATTOO CARTRIDGES
But why do we name the Open Liners so untypically from S to XXL. This becomes clear when you look at how differently they are constructed. Our very extensive tests have shown that it is advantageous for the performance of the Open Liners to let the single needle thickness also grow with increasing needle package tip diameter. Thus, the Open Liner S has 0.30 mm and the Open Liner M 0.35 mm single needles, while the Open Liner L – XXL are equipped with 0.40 mm needles. This procedure is not yet known in our industry, where usually the packages get bigger by adding more needles, but the needle diameter does not change. But our tests have shown that our way is the right way and leads to better lines.
Because we know that you are as curious as we are and that the number of needles and needle thickness have accompanied you all your life as a tattoo artist, we don’t want to withhold from you what exactly is hidden behind S- XXL. The exact designation can be found in this table:
| name | What is behind it? | needle package tip diameters |
|---|---|---|
| Open Liner S | 5 Open Liner 0.30 | 0.5 mm |
| Open Liner M | 7 Open Liner 0.35 | 0.7 mm |
| Open Liner L | 9 Open Liner 0.40 | 1.1 mm |
| Open Liner XL | 15 Open Liner 0.40 | 1.4 mm |
| Open Liner XXL | 21 Open Liner 0.40 | 1.7 mm |
