I have been tattooing for 16 years, Started in Florida and I remember going to Lucky Supply while living in Tampa to get machines and Needles. Now in NYC, I switched to Carts and wireless and have been always wanting to go back to needles on the bar. After doing so I remember why I like these, THEY are SOLID. Even when I started Tattooing, Lucky Supply was GREAT. Now this many years later, Still going strong. A++ These needles are super consistent. BUY EM
