The XACTneedle film · 1:32

Who looked at that needle before you did?

Every XACTneedle™ cartridge is checked by a person, then a machine, then a person again. Jason explains why in a minute and a half.

How every cartridge is checked

A person. A machine. A person again.

Our company started in 2001 selling acupuncture needles — needles that go into patients. XACTneedle™ gets the same quality control: precision-ground Japanese surgical steel, and three checks before a cartridge is packed.

  1. An inspector checking a cartridge under a microscope, the cartridge magnified on a screen

    Checked by a person

    Each cartridge is looked over under magnification.

  2. A test machine with its readings on a computer screen

    Then by a machine

    A test machine checks it next.

  3. Inspection room with rows of benches and microscopes

    Then a person again

    A second check by hand before it is packed.

  4. XACTneedle Precision box of 20 cartridges

    Sealed and sterile

    Each cartridge in its own blister, EO gas sterilized, 20 to a box.

From Jason

Family owned. Not for sale.

My father started our company in 2001 to sell acupuncture needles. Twenty-five years later, needles are still what we do. A lot of brands in this business belong to investors now. My father built ours to hand down, and that changes what we let out the door.

No throwaways. That is a guarantee. If you ever get one, call us and we will replace it.

Description

XACTneedle Cartridge – Classic Curved Magnum #12

Backed by over 25 years of medical-device manufacturing expertise, the XACTneedle Classic Curved Magnum #12 is engineered for artists who demand effortless shading, smooth gradients, and reliable ink saturation across large areas.

The #12 configuration is considered a classic standard in tattooing—delivering more coverage and saturation with each pass than finer #8 or #10 needles. It remains a go-to choice for artists looking to build rich fields of color and smooth blends with efficiency and consistency.

Crafted from precision-ground Japanese surgical steel, XACTneedle ensures the smoothest possible ink delivery and consistent performance you can trust session after session.

WE KNOW NEEDLES. With decades of medical-device manufacturing behind us, we build only the best for artists who refuse to compromise.

Features:

  • Box of 20 cartridges (Box of 10 for groupings of 35 & 45)
  • #12 (≈0.35 mm) "Standard" diameter
  • Classic #12 grouping for greater coverage and saturation
  • Precision-ground Japanese surgical steel for smooth shading and clean gradients
  • Individually blister packaged and EO gas sterilized for safety
  • Compatible with all popular machines

When precision matters most, there is no substitute—XACTneedle is the next evolution in tattoo cartridges.
