Medium Tapered needles are used to create bolder, wider, more old-school strokes allowing more needle to skin contact to drive more ink under the skin. Round Shader Cartridges are used to fill in colour and shade the tattoo after the contour has been made. The needles are arranged around the circumference of the circle, parallel to each other. This is the main difference between the Round Shader and the Round Liners, where the needles are also arranged along the circumference of the circle, but clustered into a point. With adequate spaces between the needles, they provide the perfect ink flow necessary for shading, creating tonal transitions. 

The size of the needles in the cartridge affects the shading and the final result. Larger needle diameters like 0.35mm (#12) will result in thicker pixels and stronger shading with a more pronounced texture. Kwadron Round Shader MT 0.35 mm (#12) comes in variants from 3 up to 18 needles per cartridge, so that you can match the right cartridge to the tattoo you are applying and the desired final effect or size of the area to be filled or the size of the shading you are applying. 

One of the fundamental factors that led to the creation of Kwadron cartridges was the desire to provide a product with the highest utility and, above all, the highest quality unattainable by other brands. Using expertise and experience, following trends and listening to tattoo artists, we have created cartridges perfectly tailored to the needs of our customers.
