Delaware, July 2024 - TriFlat™ by Grip Needles proves that using the right tools can be a game-changer for a tattoo or permanent makeup (PMU) artist's efficiency and profitability. This new needle features a unique shape that makes it easier for artists to draw detailed textures, allowing them to work faster and increase their income.
The TriFlat™ is a specialty needle that consists of 3 round liner (3RL) needles arranged in a straight line, essentially making it a hybrid of 3RL and flat needle configurations. Its unique design is ideal for stippling, an artistic technique that uses multiple small dots to create shading and texture. Stippling is often used in PMU to create hair strokes for eyebrow procedures and in traditional tattooing for drawing intricate textures like fur and scales.
Traditionally, stippling is done using conventional 1 and 3 round liners. Even though round liners can have multiple tips, they are grouped together into one needle, so they can create just a limited number of dots with every pass. As a result, using them for stippling could be time-consuming and uncomfortable for clients, especially in procedures involving sensitive areas like the face or very large pieces requiring multiple visits. Moreover, artists using round liners may struggle with creating consistent patterns, which could compromise the final result.
Because the TriFlat™ is composed of multiple 3RL needles, it can create more dots in a single pass than a regular round liner would. This also means the needles are less prone to wear and tear, so artists do not have to constantly pause their work to change their needles. As a result, artists can finish their work faster and achieve more consistent results.
"It's amazing how much of a difference the TriFlat™ makes," says Alexandra Hardee who ordered the needle the first day it was released. "Before, it took so much time to get the shading just right, but now it's effortless. Plus, clients have noticed the difference and are very happy – they say the procedure is less painful and just looks better."
Turnaround time can affect a tattoo or permanent artist's income. Procedures that take an unnecessarily long time because of suboptimal tools prevent them from taking on more clients and are often exhausting. Furthermore, clients with low pain tolerance may not enjoy the experience. By using the right tools, artists can speed up a critical step in the process, maximize their income, and improve the overall experience for themselves and their clients.
"In this economy, artists need all the help they can get to stay competitive," said a representative from Grip Needles. "The TriFlat™ is here to positively impact their business, and it’s amazing to see so many artists already benefiting from it."
TriFlat™ by Grip Needles comes in two, three, and four needle groupings and is available on the company's website.
