PEPAX® Lance Needles - Curved Magnum Long Taper Smooth shading and controlled, harmonious transitions. PEPAX® Lance Curved Magnum Long Taper Tattoo Cartridges were developed for versatile shading and coloring techniques. Thanks to the slightly curved arrangement of the needles, they are particularly well-suited for smooth transitions and even coverage of larger areas of skin. The special shape supports controlled work and helps reduce harsh edges during shading. Whether soft color gradients, large-area shading, or rich fillings— the Curved Magnum configuration offers tattoo artists versatile options for a variety of styles. Curved Magnum—for smooth transitions and even coverage Unlike flat-arranged Magnum needles, the outer needles on the Curved Magnum configuration are set back slightly. This creates a gently rounded working edge that is particularly well-suited for shading and large-area color application. The advantages at a glance: Smooth shading: Facilitates harmonious transitions between light and dark areas. Reduced hard edges: The curved needle arrangement can minimize sharply defined shading lines when used with the proper technique. Even ink distribution: Suitable for controlled ink application on larger areas. Versatile application: For black & gray, realism, soft shading, and colored tattoos. Flexible working method: Can be used for everything from finer transitions to broader areas of color, depending on the needle configuration. Long Taper—for sophisticated tattoo techniques The Long Taper version features a longer taper on the needle tips. It is suitable for artists who prioritize a specific tip geometry and a nuanced working feel when selecting their cartridges. When combined with the Curved Magnum arrangement, it creates a versatile needle configuration for soft shading, intricate details, and even color fills.
