Round Shader, #10 Bugpin

XACTneedle™ Cartridge – Precision Round Shader #10

Smooth blends. Even fills. Precision shading made effortless.

The #10 Precision Round Shader is engineered for artists who demand both softness and control. Using a medium-diameter grouping (≈0.30 mm), this cartridge excels at blending tones, building smooth gradients, and packing even color while maintaining a natural hand feel. Built on over 25 years of medical-device manufacturing expertise, each cartridge features precision-ground Japanese stainless steel and to ensure stable, predictable ink flow. Our custom-engineered mould stabilizes the needle grouping, minimizing vibration for smoother passes and reduced trauma to the skin.

Why artists choose #10 RS

• #10 (≈0.30 mm) "Bugpin" diameter offers the perfect balance between fine detail and solid coverage.
• Round Shader configuration creates smoother blends and soft transitions.
• Optimized ink channel ensures even saturation with fewer passes.
• Clear, low-profile tip improves needle visibility for precise shading placement.
• EO-gas sterilized; lot & expiry clearly printed on each sterile blister pack.

How it fits the lineup: The #10 RS is the most versatile shader — balanced for both detail and fill. Step down to #8 for ultra-fine, delicate shading, or up to #12 for bolder fills and heavier coverage.
