Mithra Textured Curved Magnum Shaders are made from Long Tapered, 12-Gauge needles that have a “dimpling effect” on the taper points which will allow more ink to gather on the needle tip. This makes it easier for the artist to shade, blend and fill in solid colors more evenly. The “Curve” on the taper point allows the artist to angle the needle when tattooing, which allows ink to be packed for a higher concentration on tight spots and confined areas.
