Black Claw is proud to be the new home of Afterlife,
the industry leader in independent tattoo publishing
showcasing the artist, art and philosophy of tattooing
with visionary curation and exploration.
Outstanding for varying line weight work, and playful coloring of larger areas where a round shader is more efficient and capable of a different look and effects than a magnum. The textured pins are more aggressive than our Straight liners, which help them color so well. These lay a line down that is similar to a straight 11. They are big.

These are tremendous. Nice fully saturated lines. I experimented with pulling back the center pin years ago. It’s great to be able to purchase these. I like that I don’t have to deal with the burning flux all up in my nose, and frustration of pulling the pins around. Thank you guys for doing all the hard work, for us to reap the rewards. Well done.

I was skeptical at first about the difference between these and a normal round shader being the same...., but boy was i wrong it's like being able to line shade and everything else imaginable with a single needle super rad i can't say enough about them!!
Best needles I've ever used

It's nice to finally be able to open a box of needles and not have to toss half of them out. Consistent quality means one less thing to worry about. The hybrid needle is my go to for most set ups. Hybrid 6 or 8 and bugpin 7 and I'm good to go. Love the versatility of the hybrid groupings for both single pass lines and solid color packing.
