Flat Tattoo Needles
People also ask, what do tattoo needle numbers mean?
Tattoo needle count basically means the number of pins used to make up the grouping. For example, a 1209RL means a 12 gauge (see above for gauge info), 09 Round Liner Needle. The 09 meaning 9 needle counts (or 9 pins used to make a round grouping).
The higher the number, the wider the diameter will be. The wider diameter of the needles in a group are, the heavier/faster ink will flow through them. The thinner the diameter, the slower and more controlled the ink flow will be.

How deep do tattoo needles go?
The tattoo needle punctures your skin around 100 times per second, with the aim of depositing the ink in a region of 1.5 to 2 millimeters below the surface of the skin. The reason for this depth of penetration is to bypass the outer layer of the skin, or the epidermis.
What happens if tattoo is too deep?
A tattoo blowout can strike when a tattoo artist injects ink too deeply into your skin beyond the top layer and into the fat below. In this fat layer, ink moves beyond the lines of your tattoo. This creates a distorted image.
