Guide & full description
Complete guide: Vertix Pico Needles F
Flat (F) configuration cartridges have needles arranged in a single straight row, making them the preferred tool for hair textures, fur effects, directional shading, and decorative parallel lines. They are part of Vertix's compact Pico series, positioned in the mid-premium segment, and come individually sterilized with ethylene oxide, with an integrated anti-backflow safety membrane. They are a specialized tool designed for experienced artists who want to expand their technique palette beyond the classic RL, RS, and RM configurations.
How to use
- Check the sealed blister before use: if the packaging is damaged or unsealed, do not use the cartridge — sterility is no longer guaranteed.
- Prepare the work station hygienically: new gloves, protective wrap on the pen and cable, disinfected surfaces.
- Remove the cartridge from the blister and mount it on the pen using the standard cartridge grip — it inserts and locks just like any universal cartridge; the compact Pico format does not change the mounting method.
- Adjust the needle projection from the pen and set the voltage as a guideline according to technique: 6–8V for fine hair textures and delicate effects, 7–9V for standard directional shading, 8–10V for dense saturation on linear areas. Start moderate and adjust.
- Pay attention to the working angle: in the Flat configuration, the entire row of needles must make uniform contact with the skin. An incorrect angle means only part of the needles are working.
- For hair texture: hold the pen parallel to the hair direction, use short, quick strokes in the direction of growth, vary pressure for different thicknesses, and lightly overlap passes for density.
- At the end of the session, remove the cartridge and immediately dispose of it in the designated sharps container. The cartridge is single-use.
Tips from us
- Choose the size according to the desired effect: 5F and 7F for fine hair strands and delicate effects, 9F and 11F for directional shading and medium effects, 13F and 15F for quick coverage and dramatic effects on large areas.
- Treat the Flat as a complementary tool, not a replacement: Flat produces parallel lines and directional texture, Magnum produces uniform fill — you need both in your arsenal for different purposes.
- Practice extensively on artificial skin before working on a client — angle control with Flat requires dedicated training, even for artists accustomed to other configurations.
- Check at moderate voltage that all needles in the row penetrate uniformly before increasing intensity.
- During long sessions, the compact Pico format reduces weight on the pen — a real advantage for control and less fatigue in the second half of the work.
Frequently asked questions
What does the Flat (F) configuration mean and how is it different from Magnum?▾
Flat (F) has needles arranged in a single straight row, while Magnum (M1) arranges them in two parallel rows. Flat produces multiple parallel lines in a single pass and directional shading — ideal for hair textures, fur, and decorative effects. Magnum produces uniform surface fill and remains the choice for general color packing. They are complementary tools, not alternatives.
Is it compatible with my tattoo pen?▾
Yes, Vertix Pico F cartridges use the standard universal cartridge grip and are compatible with major pens: Cheyenne, FK Irons, Bishop, Kwadron Proton, Dragonhawk, InkJecta, and others. They mount by simple insertion and locking, identical to any standard cartridge, and the compact Pico size does not affect compatibility.
Are they suitable for beginners?▾
Not as a first choice. The Flat configuration is a specialized tool that requires an advanced understanding of the working angle — if the angle is wrong, only part of the needles make contact with the skin. The recommendation is to first master RL, RS, and RM configurations, then add the Flat to your arsenal, with prior practice on artificial skin.
Can I reuse the cartridge if I disinfect it? How do I maintain the equipment?▾
No. The cartridge is single-use, factory sterilized with ethylene oxide, and is disposed of after each client in the sharps container. No salon disinfection method makes it safe for reuse. The pen, on the other hand, is protected with a single-use barrier during work and is cleaned and disinfected after each session, according to the pen manufacturer's instructions.
What size should I choose for hair texture in portraits?▾
For fine hair strands and delicate effects, the 5F and 7F configurations are most suitable — each pass creates thin parallel strands. Hold the pen parallel to the hair direction, work with short strokes in the direction of growth, and vary pressure for different thicknesses. For medium effects or directional shading, move to 9F or 11F.
What voltage should I set on the pen for these cartridges?▾
As a guideline: 6–8V for fine hair textures and delicate effects, 7–9V for standard directional shading, and 8–10V for dense saturation on linear areas. The Flat configuration needs enough power for all needles in the row to penetrate uniformly, so start moderate, check the result, and adjust gradually. Exact values also depend on the pen used and your working speed.
