Guide & full description

Complete guide: Vertix Pico Needles RS

The Round Shader cartridges from the Vertix Pico compact series are disposable tattoo needles designed for concentrated shading on small to medium areas: portrait details, lettering shading, stippling, and dot work. The Pico cartridge format reduces weight on the pen, giving you more control and less fatigue during long sessions. They are individually EO gas sterilized, feature a safety membrane, and fit standard pens, making them a practical choice for both experienced artists and beginners learning shading techniques.

How to use

  1. Check the sealed blister before use: if the packaging is damaged or opened, do not use the cartridge — sterility is no longer guaranteed.
  2. Prepare your workstation: disposable gloves, pen wrapped in a protective barrier (film or sleeve), and covered surfaces.
  3. Remove the cartridge from the blister without touching the tip and insert it into the pen grip until it locks firmly — the series is compatible with standard pens.
  4. Adjust the needle depth from the grip and set the voltage: the product description recommends 5–7V for delicate shading and subtle transitions, 7–8.5V for standard shading, and 8–10V for dense saturation.
  5. Dip the tip in ink and test the flow on a practice surface (e.g., synthetic skin) before moving to real skin.
  6. Work the shading with small, controlled movements — the Round Shader configuration groups the needles in a circle, so it deposits ink concentrated over a moderate area; build the tone in successive passes, don't force saturation in a single pass.
  7. For grey wash, the same technique works with diluted ink — start with light tones and deepen gradually.
  8. At the end of the session, remove the cartridge and dispose of it immediately in a sharps container. It is strictly single-use.

Tips from us

  • Choose the configuration based on the area: 3RS and 5RS for details, dot work, and shading inside letters; larger configurations from the 3RS–18RS range for fills and larger areas.
  • If you need to shade large surfaces or wide transitions (backgrounds, broad blending), a Round Magnum (RM) is the more suitable tool — the RS is the 'small detail brush', the RM is the 'wide brush'.
  • Small configurations (3RS, 5RS) can also be used as a thick liner: the line has softer and fuller edges than an RL, an effect appreciated in Traditional and Neo-Traditional styles.
  • If you're a beginner, start with 5RS or 7RS and practice on synthetic skin before working on clients — the RS is typically learned after the RL.
  • Always start at the lower end of the voltage range and fine-tune based on the skin and desired result; the RS responds well to small adjustments.
  • Keep a stock of 2–3 common configurations: since they are single-use consumables, it's more efficient to order multiple cartridges at once than to run out in the middle of a job.
Warning: Needle cartridges are single-use devices: do not reuse them and do not attempt to 're-sterilize' them — the factory EO sterilization is only valid as long as the blister remains sealed and intact. The safety membrane in the cartridge limits fluid backflow toward the pen, but does not replace basic hygiene: gloves, protective barriers on the pen and clip cord, and disinfecting the station between clients. After use, the cartridge goes directly into a sharps container, in accordance with biohazard waste regulations. Never use a cartridge that has been dropped on the floor or has compromised packaging.

Frequently asked questions

What tattoo machines are these cartridges compatible with?

Vertix Pico RS cartridges have universal compatibility with standard pens that accept cartridges. You don't need special adapters — they insert into the grip like any regular cartridge. The specific advantage of the Pico series is the compact cartridge format, which reduces overall weight on the pen and improves control during long sessions.

Which configuration should I choose: 3RS, 5RS, or larger?

It depends on the surface you're working on. 3RS offers maximum control for fine details, dot work, and shading inside small letters; 5RS covers larger letters and somewhat broader gradients; larger configurations from the 3RS–18RS range are for fills and concentrated shading on medium areas. If you're a beginner, 5RS or 7RS is the recommended starting point.

What's the difference between RS and RM, and when do I choose one over the other?

RS (Round Shader) groups the needles compactly in a circular formation — deposits ink concentrated, ideal for small to medium areas, details, and tight spaces. RM (Round Magnum) arranges the needles in a curved, two-row configuration — covers large surfaces, ideal for transitions and backgrounds. In short: RS for localized precision, RM for blending over broad surfaces. Many jobs require both.

Can I reuse a cartridge if I disinfect it well?

No, under no circumstances. The cartridges are individually sterilized with EO gas and are strictly designed for single use, on one client. Home disinfection cannot sterilize the inside of the cartridge, and reuse creates a real risk of cross-contamination. After the session, the cartridge is disposed of in a sharps container.

What voltage do I set for shading with these cartridges?

According to the recommendations for this model: 5–7V for delicate shading and subtle transitions, 7–8.5V for standard shading and moderate fills, 8–10V for dense saturation. Start at the low end of the range and fine-tune based on skin type and desired result — the model doesn't require special settings compared to other RS cartridges.

Does it work with diluted ink for black and grey?

Yes. The Round Shader configuration distributes diluted ink (grey wash) in a controlled manner and produces clean transitions in gray tones. Work from light to dark tones in successive passes, and let the skin 'read' the tone before deepening — this way you get even gradients without oversaturating the area.
