Best tattoo needle cartridges on Amazon!
I am so excited to share my experience with the best tattoo needle cartridges that I've found on Amazon. As a tattoo artist for the past three years, I've been sent numerous cartridges from various brands, and I've also gone out of my way to purchase some of the best brands on the market.
Before I reveal my favorite cartridge, I want to share some insights into what makes a good cartridge versus a bad one. It took me a while to properly assess a cartridge, and I found that using a variable amount of brands was essential to determine what works best for me. Using only one brand of cartridge can shortchange you somewhere, unless you happen to pick the best brand ever.
Some of the things I noticed that I didn't like about the other brands include spatter, where the tip of the cartridge doesn't hold the ink properly, causing dripping down onto the client's skin or spatter ink back from the needle. This can be extremely annoying, especially when doing really small work, as even a drop of ink can completely cover a portion of what I'm doing.
Another thing that can cause ink spatter is a cartridge that vibrates a lot. If there's a lot of vibration, it seems like there is some ink spatter as well. Vibration is also an issue, and some cartridges are so loud that they actually make sounds when in use. Recently, I had to switch brands because the cartridge I was using was so loud it was embarrassing in front of the client.
Stability is really important in these cartridges, and it's my number one concern. I really want a stable and consistent line, and the things that seem to affect that are things like the vibration of the cartridge, the weld of the needle, the material the cartridge is made out of, the size of the needle tip, and the materials involved in making it.
Of all the cartridges I've tried, the one that scores the highest for stability, visibility, control, and least ink spatter by far is the CNC Police Needles. Yes, that's right! The CNC needles are my absolute favorite. They are red and look like the little police thing on top of police cars, and you can even put finger ledges over them which takes them to the maximum level of comfort and control!

I find that awesome because a lot of the cartridges I've bought are too narrow and slippery to get a good grip on, but the police cartridges have that perfect shape that makes it easy to add the finger ledge to it. They are sharp, stable, and have great visibility, which makes them perfect for my needs.
Overall, I highly recommend the CNC Police Needles for anyone looking for affordable and high-quality tattoo needle cartridges. I am so thrilled with my experience with these cartridges, and I'm confident that you will be too!
