All Mithra 8-Gauge Bugpin Needles fit one size down when pairing with tubes.

Example: 7 Magnum Bugpin needles will fit into a 5 Magnum tube; 9 Magnum Bugpin needles will fit into a 7 Magnum tube, etc. 

Mithra Bugpin Curved Magnum Shaders are made from Long Tapered 8-Gauge needles specially designed to hold more ink to make blending and coloring large areas easier, with less impact to the skin. The “Curve” on the taper points allows the artist to angle the needle when tattooing, which allows the ink to be packed for a higher concentration on tight spots and confined areas. The tighter spacing between the needles give “portrait” tattoos a smoother, fuller look with more depth and life.
