Today, we'd like to introduce 'GRAND RIZIN' from 'RIZIN NEEDLE,' the most popular cartridge needle at FLAG TATTOO SUPPLY.
If you haven't used them before, or if you're undecided about which cartridge needle to choose, please take a look.
How to Choose a Tattoo Needle
First, to choose the best tattoo needle for you, you need to understand what liners, round shaders, magnums, and other types do.

About RIZIN NEEDLE
Next, let's introduce the RIZIN NEEDLE lineup.
RIZIN NEEDLE Lineup
GRAND RIZIN
GRAND RIZIN is the latest and highest-end product line within RIZIN NEEDLE. While its features and benefits will be described later, if you're unsure about which cartridge to choose, you can't go wrong with this one!
RIZIN NEEDLE (Cartridge)
This is the standard cartridge lineup for RIZIN NEEDLE. Compared to GRAND RIZIN, the price per box is slightly lower.
However, with domestic quality control and solid construction, it offers excellent cost performance.
This product line is highly recommended for those who want to try out a new needle type!
RIZIN NEEDLE (Classic Needle)
This is the bar-needle lineup from RIZIN NEEDLE. It's recommended for those who use machines other than pen-style ones, such as magnetic machines or rotary machines.
Features of GRAND RIZIN
Here are four main features that make the aforementioned GRAND RIZIN a world-class needle.
Made with Japanese Stainless Steel
All RIZIN NEEDLE products, including GRAND RIZIN, use Japanese stainless steel (manufactured by Nippon Steel Stainless Steel Corporation). It offers excellent rigidity, ensuring that performance does not degrade even during long tattooing sessions.
Easy to Distinguish with 4 Color Options
GRAND RIZIN utilizes colored plastic caps. You can easily distinguish between RL / RS / MG / SEM at a glance. This allows for smoother needle changes, even when multiple needle types are set up at the workstation.
Improved Plastic Components
To make needle strokes smoother and tattooing more comfortable, GRAND RIZIN has implemented further improvements to its plastic components.
Tattoo artists highly praise it, especially when using MG / SEM, noting it's "excellent when you want to use the edge of the needle."
High Cost Performance
Despite these features, it is relatively inexpensive in the domestic cartridge needle market. This can be attributed to the cost savings on imports and exports due to its production and management in Japan!
Who is it recommended for?
Cartridges are highly recommended for professional artists and tattooists using pen machines, as well as for those just starting out in tattooing. This is because the combination of a 'pen machine & cartridge' is easier to set up compared to traditional magnetic (coil) machines or rotary machines.
Additionally, for those who previously set up multiple machines in their workspace or want to color-code needles for multi-color work, why not consider the pen and cartridge combination?
Summary
This time, we introduced the RIZIN NEEDLE lineup. Please find the optimal product that suits your tattooing style and equipment.
FLAG TATTOO SUPPLY also carries needles from other brands, such as 'Kwadron' and 'Cheyenne'. Please check them out here!
