Highest quality needles out there. Nice thick needlebars, precision line. I’d never use anything else!

Absolute best needles I've ever used. Not a bad one in the bunch. Consistent groupings and clean lines from the beginning to the end of a job. Keep up the great work. Thanks!

It's really impossible to go back to another maker after trying these needles. They don't disappoint!

Love these needles
Posted by Michael S. on Oct 4th 2016
I recently branched out and bought some black claw needles and I love them they make my job easier. First time using a hallow and I must say I love the way they lay lines and I love the results I get using the medium tapper shading needles!! I will definitely keep using black claw needles!!

absolutely the best have purchased, the needs work great and have finesse for smaller details while still being able to put in a solid line that is readable and defined in the skin.
Best needles I have found

I was turned on to Black Claw needles by another tattooed on my shop and tried out some of the Hollow needles first. There is a slight learning curve, but once you get your speed down, they lay in the best lines and are very forgiving. Since unsung them, I started reading up on the ethical standards Black Claw follows. This on top of the quality of the needles and outstanding customer service has me hooked! You will not find a better needle, with low lead content and support provided anywhere on the market today. Thanks Black Claw!
