With a traditional rotary tattoo machine, you will definitely need traditional tattoo needles. When choosing
traditional needles, you will have to take sharpness, and sterilization into consideration. Anyway, you had better choose a trusted brand to get your tattoo products, especially tattoo ink. Tattoo ink is another important factor that decides tattoo quality.
