Review on πŸ”© BIGWASP Professional Tattoo Needle Cartridge - 3 Round Liner (3RL) - Pack of 20 by Tim Loya

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Dirty acceleration with blurry lines. Terrible cartridges.

I am very disappointed in these needles. A lot of people seem to say it's good, but I'm convinced they got paid because it's almost like prison pins. Terrible penetration in itself. A straight passage is very scratchy. At first I thought I had a bad needle, but when I opened a new one I realized how bad these cheap cartridges are. On the 9RL that I think I ordered, the lines were very thin. For line work with just my machine's normal tension I would rate this as very low, but the worst injury is a bit of ink splattering. This is the worst case scenario, where not only is the needle bad, but the tube literally spits out ink as if it were a hose. The first line gave me so much trouble that the stencil wore off, forcing me to lay the line in one go without erasing too much. After a slow pass, not only were the lines terribly small for a 9RL, but the lines were uneven and barely filled even after I adjusted the needle so it wasn't running on the tube. I have never felt such desperation in my work as when I first used these needles. They almost work against you. They are so dirty and badly made that I resent them selling me. That day I had to break off the tattoo, reset the stencil and after a while I tried again with 5rl Dragonhawk Carts. Did a better job than this 9rl. avoid it If I could return them I would.

Pros
  • Rubber band cartridges with a plastic membrane to prevent tattoo ink from dripping back into the tube.
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
