FAQs

Depending on the configuration size, each 3RL needle in the TriFlat™ series has diameters ranging from 0.18mm, 0.25mm and 0.30mm

For retail purchases, Grip Needles does not impose a minimum order requirement for buying 3RL hybrid needles.

Standard 3RL tattoo needles are often used for lining and stippling/shading. As a 3RL and flat hybrid, the TriFlat™ can be used to do the same techniques in less time and using less energy and effort. Because it is shaped like a flat, the TriFlat™ can produce multiple precise lines in a single pass, allowing you to cover specific areas in fewer passes. This makes it easier to stipple textures like pixels and fur or draw details like natural-looking hair strokes.
