how to know cartridge size

To determine the size of tattoo cartridge that you need, you should first consider the type of tattoo design that you will be creating.

Different needle configurations are used for different purposes, so you should choose a cartridge size that is appropriate for your desired design.

Typically, the size of a tattoo cartridge refers to the diameter of the needle grouping. Common sizes range from 0.20mm to 0.35mm, with larger sizes being used for filling in large areas of color and smaller sizes being used for fine lines and details. Some cartridges also have varying taper configurations, which can affect the thickness of the lines that they produce.

It is important to note that the size of the cartridge may also be influenced by the tattoo machine that you are using. Some machines may only be compatible with certain cartridge sizes, so you should check with the manufacturer or consult the machine’s manual to ensure that you are using the correct size.

Ultimately, the best way to determine the appropriate size of tattoo cartridge is through experience and experimentation. As you gain more experience with tattooing, you will develop a better sense of which cartridge sizes work best for different types of designs and skin types.
