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 – Precision Tight Round Liner #10

Built on over 25 years of medical-device manufacturing expertise, the XACTneedle Precision Tight Round Liner #10 is engineered for artists who demand absolute control and flawless, consistent linework.

Every detail has been refined for performance: a custom-engineered mould in striking Precision Purple provides stability and ergonomics, while the laser-etched X viewing window adds a bold, professional aesthetic. It’s the best-looking cartridge on your tray—and built to perform.

The #10 liner configuration is prized for its tighter grouping, delivering precise lines, micro‑script, hairlines, and delicate detail—perfect when you need more control than a #12 liner can offer.

Crafted from precision-ground Japanese surgical steel, XACTneedle ensures smooth, consistent ink flow and crisp starts and stops on every stroke.

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
  • #10 (≈0.30 mm) "Bugpin" diameter 
  • Custom-engineered mould in Precision Purple for superior stability and control
  • Laser-etched X viewing window for a sleek, professional look
  • Precision-ground Japanese surgical steel for the sharpest, cleanest lines
  • 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.
