dont settle for 2 needle sizes diferent pieces of work call for different needle groupings im not going to run through every needle that i use because its personal preference so try out most sizes and see what works the best for you

RE:Color/needles

Ya I gotta agree with cam...don't limit yourself to just a couple needle configurations..it depends on the piece your doing and what effects you desire and size...I use everything from a 3rs to 15 cm....i generally don't use any thing larger then a 15 because I use all disposables and haven't found any large mag tubes....if anyone knows of a good company that sells good quality large mag disposables let me know please,..right now I use all tat soul..and I'm hooked

RE:Color/needles

I agree with Cam and Jason. It does depend on the piece that you are working on and more so personal preference. I do have and have used other sizes but so far on what my clients have asked for the 7rs and the 11 mag has been the most common. I have even used 7rl to pull off some of those extremely tight areas. The main thing is personal perference. I have read most every forum on here and people given their opinion, but you have to figure out what will work best for you. Some of you guys perfer a rotary to a coil. I have used a rotary, but don't like it. I use Mom's inks. I haven't heard anyone say that they perfer it over anyother. Mom's works for me. Find and use what ever you need to to pull off the best piece that is in your range. Meaning, some of us can pull off what Mike has shown us. Most haven't gotten to that level, myself included. If what you find is not the most common for what everone else uses, so be it, however there is a reason that others stays with more common items. Which is worth looking into. Listen to everyones advise. Take into consideration that what you being told may not be at your current skill level, but listen anyway. Keep trying to achieve that greater power that everyone is looking for.
