Guide & full description
Complete guide: KWADRON RS CARTRIDGE TATTOO NEEDLES MEDIUM TAPER
Kwadron cartridges in the Round Shader configuration with medium taper are single-use needles designed for controlled shading in concentrated areas — facial details, subtle transitions, fine textures. The tight circular grouping of the needles, combined with the medium-length taper, gives you a balance between the aggressive penetration of a short taper and the fineness of a long taper. They are manufactured in Poland from 316L surgical steel, sterilized with ethylene oxide, and individually packaged with an integrated safety membrane against fluid backflow. They are intended for professional artists — especially those working in realism, portraits, dot work, or grey wash.
How to use
- Check the individual blister before use: it must be intact, and the expiration date on the packaging must not be exceeded. A damaged blister means a compromised cartridge — do not use it.
- Prepare your workstation: washed hands, new gloves, protective barriers on the pen and clip cord, disinfected surfaces.
- Remove the cartridge from the blister without touching the tip and mount it onto your pen with a standard cartridge system, twisting or pressing until it is firmly seated.
- Adjust the needle hang to a suitable value for shading and check the needle movement by running the machine before contact with the skin.
- Load the tip with pigment from a dedicated ink cap — for grey wash, the medium taper delivers diluted ink in gradually built tones.
- Work with light, consistent pressure in layers: the taper does the penetrating work, not the force of your hand. The movement should be smooth, at a constant speed.
- When changing areas or at the end of the session, remove the cartridge and immediately discard it into the sharps container. Do not leave it on the work table.
Tips from us
- Choose RS for small areas and details — the needles are grouped tightly, like a small detail brush. For large surfaces and broad blending, the RM (magnum) version is more suitable.
- For dot work and geometric designs, small configurations (3RS, 5RS) produce uniform and consistent dots without oversaturation.
- Diameter matters: 0.25 mm (#8) is recommended for micro-realism and ultra-delicate shading, while 0.30 mm (#10) and 0.35 mm (#12) are for standard work. Note which diameter you used to maintain consistency between sessions.
- Don't compensate with pressure: excessive pressing causes tissue trauma and risk of blow-out, not better saturation. Let the weight of the pen do the work.
- Use the lot information and manufacturing date on the packaging for traceability — useful for studio records required during inspections.
- Buy the box of 20 for multiple sessions, but check each individual blister even if the outer box appears intact.
Frequently asked questions
Will these cartridges fit my machine?▾
Kwadron cartridges use the standard cartridge system and are compatible with tattoo pens that have a standard grip, meaning the vast majority of modern pen machines. If you have an older coil machine with a classic bar-style needle grip, you will need an adapter or a dedicated cartridge grip. If in doubt, check your machine's manual to see if it accepts standard cartridges.
When should I choose RS Medium Taper and when RM Medium Taper?▾
It depends on the surface you are working on. RS groups the needles tightly in a circular formation — ideal for small areas, details, transitions in tight spaces, for example facial details in portraits. RM spreads the needles in a fan shape — ideal for large surfaces and broad blending. Think of RS as a small detail brush and RM as a wide blending brush; many artists use both in the same piece.
What does 'medium taper' mean and why should it matter to me?▾
Taper is the length of the needle's point. Medium taper sits between short taper (more aggressive penetration, fast saturation) and long taper (maximum fineness). Essentially, it allows you to build shading gradually, in fine layers, with controlled penetration — that's why it is valued for realism, portraits, and grey wash, where smooth transitions make the difference.
Can I sterilize and reuse a cartridge on the same person in another session?▾
No. Cartridges are single-use consumables, sterilized at the factory with ethylene oxide and individually packaged. Once the blister is opened and the cartridge used, sterility is permanently lost, and studio equipment cannot safely re-sterilize a membrane cartridge. Each session means new cartridges, and used ones go directly into the sharps container.
What needle diameters are available and how do I choose?▾
The RS Medium Taper range is available with needles of 0.25 mm (#8), 0.30 mm (#10), and 0.35 mm (#12). The 0.25 mm diameter is the choice for micro-realism and ultra-delicate shading with nearly imperceptible transitions; 0.30 and 0.35 mm are more versatile options for standard shading. If you work a lot with fine grey wash, start with the small diameter; for faster saturation, move up to 0.35 mm.
How many cartridges do I get in a box and how should I store them?▾
The standard box contains 20 cartridges, each individually sealed in a sterile blister, with lot number, manufacturing date, and expiration date on the packaging. Store them in a dry place, away from moisture and mechanical damage, in the original packaging. Before each use, check the integrity of the individual blister — not just the box — and respect the sterilization expiration date.
