Electrum Gold Standard Cartridge Needles - Round Shader
Electrum Gold Standard Cartridge Needles - Round Shader
Available in stock (147)
Electrum Gold Standard Needle Cartridges are engineered for tattoo artists and permanent cosmetic professionals who demand consistency, safety, and flawless results. The Round Shader configuration uses #12 needles with a medium taper, making them ideal for smooth shading, color packing, and filling in larger areas with even saturation.
Unlike cheaper cartridges, Gold Standard avoids problematic cut-back tips on smaller groupings (3’s, 4’s, and 5’s), ensuring proper ink flow with zero inconsistencies. That means you’ll never fight against dry strokes or blotchy fills again—just clean, reliable performance.
Each cartridge is manufactured with a medical-grade membrane system that prevents ink backflow into grips and machines, protecting both artist and client. Fully EO gas sterilized, they’re ready to use straight out of the box.

Gold Standard vs. FIRE – Which Should You Use?
Both Gold Standard and Electrum FIRE Cartridges deliver professional-grade performance, but each excels in its own lane:
- Gold Standard = reliable shading and color packing trusted for years.
- FIRE = next-gen design with smoother ink flow, reduced vibration, and sharper precision.
Why Electrum Cartridges Stand Out
- Artist-Owned, Artist-Driven: Created by tattooers, for tattooers.
- Strict QC Standards: Every needle inspected for flawless quality.
- Global Artist Trust: Used daily in shops around the world.
- Pro Quality Without the Price Hype: Premium performance at an accessible price.
