Our Loose Hybrids feature a medium taper, textured shader style pin, making them unlike a traditional polished pin liner. The solder is pulled way back making them part shader, part liner, depending on your preference. They can be used for lining, but they are a very aggressive needle and we recommend using a machine that runs more like a shader than a zippy liner. They also excel at color packing smaller areas and adding touches of detail in ways a magnum simply cannot do. Up your tat game by adding them to the arsenal and expand your looks with a new tool.

Love these needles, they leave such a nice consistent bold line. I find they are a little gentler than tradional hollows! My go to for thick lines!! Thanks for the quality product!

Honestly, I think I’ll stick with the straight 7’s. More consistent for me than the loose 5’s.
Exactly as advertised

Couldn’t be happier to get a product that is versatile and does exactly what they’re said to do. When I need t pull a traditional line or fill those little spots these do just that.
Great universal needle. I use
