ParticipantOk, I was watching you tube the other day and ran across a video where this dude was useing a flat to blend in his color. He also spread the space between each individual needle on the bar with a razor blade to give more of a feather effect. I have not used flats much, mostly mags and curved mags. So i was just wondering what was your all’s opinion on this.

Participantbefore mags became popular there were flats and rounds. Mostly old timers stuck in there ways still use flats. there are so many better shaders now. Although I have learned through the years that everything has a place and a time; so maybe play around with it and see what you can do. How do you think new things are discovered?

Participantit really depends what and how you want to do the desire effect.
sometimes needles are too closed together and can cause more trauma to the skin
so it would have to be spaced out a little more.
but mostly mags would work well with good technique and machines..
generally for color work people use short tapered needles
black and grey long tapered needles.
and theres bugpin mags and the whole 9 about that.. just depends on your prefference -
