I've been using these in smaller tats where I would traditionally use a 9 magnum long taper, and instead threw a Hella Smooth 11 mag in the same 9 mag tube and made the smoothest grey I have ever done. And it was easy. No kidding.

I recently purchased the 11 and 9 hella smooth bugpin mags. I prefer a tighter needle grouping with finer needles, I just get better ink flow from them. These needles really do push the blacks just like advertised and push color pigment as well. I run them through Welker one piece steel tubes and find they a the slightest of tight, that's a given being a bugpin though. They still throw just fine and don't lock up in the tube for the tattoo process. Hands down the only company I will choose to buy a Bug pin needle from ever again.
Hella Smooth Exactly!!

I could see using them to blend but I had trouble packing in pigment. I usually use the 13 mag medium taper. It’s the perfect needle for me to do everything. Thank you for sending me some and I can’t wait till you have more.
Absolutely smooth as silk. I

Absolutely smooth as silk. I couldn't say enough good things about these needles! They create smooth transitions with ease. Top notch for sure!
