Supreme offers a wide range of pre-made needle groupings - from single needle liners through multi-needle magnums for large needle applications. Pre-made needles save time and assure artists of a perfect needl every time.

To help protect a new needle assembly from damage, insert the needle bar into the tube before positioning the tube into the machine. In the downward stroke position, adjust the tube so the needles extends approximately 1/16 inch from the tip of the tube. Always check your needles with an eye loop for damage. Also remember that a slight bend in the needle bar, arcing away from the machine, will help the rubber bands to hold the needle tighter. Remember also that the bar is always facing towards the cut out of the tube.

RL = Round Liners

RS = Round Shaders

F = Flat Shaders

M = Magnum Shaders

Beginners should start off using round shaders for shading, filling. Magnums and flats should only be used by experienced Tattoo artists as it much easier the chop up the skin with these types of needles.
