Description

Magnum needles are among the most commonly used tattoo needles today. Also known as magnum shaders or just magnums, they consist of two stacked layers of needle points grouped together in a curved or flat configuration. When reading different magnum sizes (5M, 7M, 9M, and others), note that the numeral indicates the number of needle points in the group. Magnum needles are used for a variety of techniques and applications:

Permanent Makeup (PMU)

Lipstick Effect Lips: When used in PMU lip procedures, magnum needles are especially useful for achieving the so-called “lipstick effect.” Technicians can use it to layer and blend colors, creating fuller and more defined lips, with a tint that’s similar to what lipsticks provide.

Brow Work: Magnum needles are preferred for eyebrow procedures on challenging skin types. Their large size and configuration increase the efficiency of pigment deposition, helping technicians effectively fill in sparse brows or cover areas with scar tissue.

Lash Line Saturation: PMU artists can use magnums in eyelash PMU procedures, specifically, for saturating the lash line with pigment. Their design allows technicians to achieve dense coverage, helping give the lash line a long-lasting and more defined look.

Body Art

Color Blending: Magnum needles are valued for their ability to blend pigment, a technique often used in body art. These needles can create smooth color transitions, allowing artists to shade portraits, add depth, and create stunning, realistic masterpieces.

Color Packing: Magnum needles are great for packing color into large areas. Their wide design enables artists to quickly, efficiently, and evenly fill spaces with pigment.

Realism Work: Magnum needles can be used to create realistic textures in body art. They’re ideal for smooth gradients and subtle color transitions, which are useful for drawing natural-looking skin tones, fur, and other elements.

Watercolor Techniques: Magnums can be used for striking body art with watercolor effects. Artists can effectively layer diluted colors for delicate-looking washes and create the ethereal effects commonly seen in watercolor paintings.

FAQs

What are magnum tattoo needles used for?
Magnum needles are used for color packing, blending, and shading large areas of skin in both body art and permanent makeup. They’re ideal for techniques like watercolor effects, lip tinting, brow fills, and realism work where smooth gradients and dense pigment saturation are needed.
Difference between curved magnum and flat magnum needles?
Curved magnums have a slight arc to the tips, allowing softer edges and smoother blending — especially useful in shading and realism. Flat magnums have needle points aligned in a straight row, delivering stronger saturation and harder edges, ideal for structured fills.
How to choose the right magnum needle for color packing?
For color packing, larger configurations like 11M or 13M with a medium-to-long taper are recommended. A diameter of .30 mm or .35 mm ensures smoother fills with fewer passes and less trauma, making them perfect for large body art areas.
