Keep the line at the centre of the design
RL concentrates the working points into a liner tip. That geometry makes it a useful choice where the mark itself defines the drawing: a letter’s curve, the boundary of a traditional shape or a repeating geometric contour. A smaller grouping gives you a more compact working footprint; more points create a broader liner choice for stronger boundaries.
Choose RL for the contour stage, then add a shader for colour or tonal areas. Thunder Pro RS opens the circular grouping for compact fills and transitions, while a magnum serves broader areas. This lets each tip work on the part of the design it is shaped to handle.
Choose needle body and grouping together
0803RL and 0805RL are useful starting choices for finer grouped outlines: both use 0.25 mm needle wire, with three or five points respectively. Choose three for a smaller grouped tip, or five for a broader grouped working footprint. For a single working point, compare 0401RL at 0.18 mm or 0801RL at 0.25 mm.
The 10 series uses 0.30 mm wire and the 12 series 0.35 mm. Both include groupings from 1 to 14 points among the current options. A configuration such as 1207RL gives you seven 0.35 mm points; choose that direction when the contour calls for a more substantial grouping rather than a fine single point. The 08 range offers 1, 3, 5 and 7 points.
Use the complete Style to combine those two decisions. Needle diameter changes the individual wire; point count changes the grouping. Choose around the line you want to make, then keep that Style ready in the pack size you use.
Professional needle quality for your linework setup
Thunder Pro cartridges use 304 stainless steel needles and EO sterilisation, selected to ATTO’s highest professional quality standard. The standard universal cartridge connection places RL within a compatible pen setup, so the configuration choice can remain focused on your design.
For finer grouped outlines, start with 0803RL or 0805RL. Move toward a larger grouping when bolder contours are part of the drawing.
Which pack should I choose?
Choose 10 cartridges to introduce a Style or keep a less frequently used liner available. Choose 20 for a configuration that appears regularly in your work, with more supply ready and fewer repeat orders.
Which machine connection does it use?
Thunder Pro uses a standard universal cartridge connection for compatible tattoo and PMU pens. Choose it for a universal-cartridge setup.
