ROUND SHADER – #12 / 0.3×3.5mm Long Taper 

The #12 gauge (0.3mm diameter) is slightly on the thinner side. In the context of shading, this finer needle is suitable for producing smoother shading gradients and more precise transitions, as it doesn’t deposit as much ink per pass as thicker needles.

Round shader needles are arranged in a circular formation but spaced more loosely compared to round liners. This configuration allows for smoother shading and blending, as opposed to creating sharp lines. Round shaders are ideal for filling in areas, blending, and creating softer transitions between shaded regions.

A 3.5mm long taper refers to the needle’s elongated tip, which allows for more controlled penetration and smoother application of ink. This longer taper gives artists more control over the amount of ink being deposited, making it easier to build up shading gradually while minimizing trauma to the skin. Long tapers also contribute to softer, more gradual transitions in shading.

Round shaders are primarily used for filling in small areas, blending, and soft shading. They are ideal for creating smoother transitions between colors or between darker and lighter areas within a tattoo. With the thinner #12 needle and longer taper, this needle setup is perfect for detailed shading work that requires precision and smoothness.

This needle setup offers fine control and is suitable for delicate shading work where smooth transitions and less skin trauma are desired. It’s favored for small areas, soft fills, and intricate shading details.
