Question - Line Weights?? 🤔

Ok guys I'm going to be jumping in with some Q&A's to help you guys with any challenges you're facing.

sent a message mentioning a few things. So let's start with line weights/liner sizes.

Having a variety of line weights in your art keeps it looking interesting & can make select areas look bolder & create depth, even in the outline stage.

I started by picking pens with 3 line weights for drawing. (See the attached image for the set).

I used a very fine line for details, a regular weight for almost all lines & then a thicker marker, or thin brush tip for heavier outlines, which i would always draw in last.

As I started tattooing I found needle groupings to match the pens. Which became 3rl, 5rl & either 7rs or 9rs.

Meaning I had the tools to create the same art tattooing, as on paper.

So let's start with a quick question -

What needles are you currently using in your setup & how are you finding them to work with?
