Complete guide: Tattoo Needles Kwadron Cartridge Sublime M1
Sublime cartridges are the latest generation of needles developed by Kwadron, and the M1 configuration (two-row magnum with "soft edge" finish) is designed for shading and color packing on surfaces. Compared to standard cartridges, the needle movement system has a flat bottom — the needle does not twist or bend during work — and the inner walls of the tip have a special surface that holds more ink and provides a more uniform flow. They are made of stainless steel, have a safety membrane, and come individually packaged, sterile, and single-use. They are aimed at professional artists working on pen-style machines compatible with standard cartridges.
How to use
- Prepare your workstation: wash hands, single-use gloves, protective barriers on the machine, grip, and clip cord, disinfected surfaces.
- Check the individual blister: it must be intact and sealed. If the packaging is damaged or open, do not use the cartridge — sterility is no longer guaranteed.
- Remove the cartridge from the blister without touching the tip and attach it to your machine's grip (pen or rotary with standard cartridge system) until it clicks firmly into place.
- Adjust the needle protrusion (how far the needle sticks out of the cartridge) by turning the grip, based on your technique and desired working depth.
- Start the machine at a moderate voltage and visually check the needle movement and ink flow before touching the skin; the product description recommends for the Sublime M1 a starting point of 7–10V, increasing gradually to the desired saturation.
- Dip the tip into the ink cap and work in uniform passes; with the magnum and soft edge, the soft edges of the configuration help create smooth transitions between passes without visible overlap lines.
- Re-ink whenever the flow decreases — the Sublime tip holds more ink than a standard one, so re-inking may be less frequent.
- At the end, remove the cartridge from the grip and immediately discard it into a designated sharps container. It is strictly single-use.
Tips from us
- Use M1 for what it's built for: shading and color packing on surfaces. For outlines and lines, choose a liner configuration, not a magnum.
- Take advantage of the soft edge finish for color packing: overlap transitions gently — the soft edges of the magnum blend naturally without visible lines at the edges.
- Don't compensate with high voltage: start low and increase gradually. A uniform ink flow (the forte of the Sublime tip) does more than raw power.
- The membrane prevents backflow into the machine, but still use protective barriers on the machine and grip — the membrane does not replace the hygiene protocol.
- The price is per piece and each cartridge is individually packaged — calculate your needs per project (plus extras) so you don't run out of needles mid-session.
- Store the blisters in a clean, dry place, away from moisture and objects that could puncture them.
Frequently asked questions
What does "M1" mean on these cartridges and what do I use them for?▾
M1 is the magnum configuration: needles are arranged in two rows, and on the Sublime series the edges have a "soft edge" finish. The magnum is the working configuration for surfaces — shading, gradients, color packing. It is not intended for outlines or fine lines; for those, liner-type configurations are used.
How do Sublime cartridges differ from standard Kwadron cartridges?▾
The main difference is the flat-bottom needle movement system, which prevents the needle from twisting or bending during tattooing — resulting in better precision. Additionally, the inner walls of the tip have a new surface that holds more ink and delivers a more uniform flow. The needle stabilization system is the same as on standard Kwadron cartridges, and the M1 adds the soft edge finish on the edges, useful for blending without visible overlap lines.
Will they fit my tattoo machine?▾
Kwadron Sublime cartridges are compatible with standard pen-style machines that use the regular cartridge system. If your machine accepts standard cartridges (with adjustable grip), the Sublime M1 fits just like any other cartridge. Just make sure you don't have a machine with a proprietary needle system, in which case standard cartridges won't fit.
Can I reuse a cartridge if I only used it a little or only on synthetic skin?▾
No. The cartridge is sterile only in its sealed individual packaging and is designed strictly for single use. Once removed and used — even on synthetic skin — it can no longer be considered sterile, and there is no safe method of resterilization at studio level. After use, discard it in a sharps container.
What is the role of the membrane in the cartridge?▾
The safety membrane prevents backflow: ink and fluids cannot travel up from the cartridge into the grip and machine. This reduces the risk of cross-contaminating equipment between clients. However, it remains mandatory to use protective barriers on the machine and grip and to follow the full hygiene protocol.
Are they suitable for beginners or only for advanced artists?▾
Technically, they are used exactly like any standard cartridge, so there is no usage barrier. Sublime is Kwadron's premium line, sold individually, designed for work where quality of fill and flow uniformity matter. If you are a beginner practicing a lot on synthetic skin, you can use standard cartridges for practice and keep Sublime for actual work.
