Wait, 11 needles and yet a line this clean and precise? How did we do it? We used our industry best Bugpins and rocked them in a straight liner for your pleasure. Clean lines and bold, yet still a liner you can be playful with when doing illustrative type work, or varying line weights/calligraphy.

Black claw needles are the ideal example of form following function. Everything from the standard and dependability of the needle groupings to the perforation on the individual needle packets, to the clear concise labeling and durable needle boxes all are a result of thoughtful consideration and planning with one goal in mind; to make using Black Claw needles as easy, comfortable and dependable as possible for the artist. In a field of design in which so many variables exist, Black Claw works in fighting the good fight to provide dependability and consistency with their wide range of needle groupings.

I've used quite a few different brands of needles in my career, trying to find the ones that work best and I've found them!
These bugpin straight needles are great for creating dynamic detail in tattoos that don't call for ultra fine lines. I've had pieces come back healed, and the lines keep they're integrity perfectly. Unlike the inferior brand needles I've used in the past.
I'm completely satisfied with these needles and will be converting my entire set-up to Black Claw.
Highly recommended.

The straight bugpin 7 liners have been a great addition to my needle lineup. Great inkflow and control.

Tried these on a recommendation from a fellow tattooer. Perfect for little thin line walk-in tattoos, or for finer lines in larger pieces. Super saturated line that is super skin friendly. Black claw is the only needle I'll buy
awesome
