The number #12 known as standard, while #10, #8 and #6 known as bugpin refers to the diameter of the needle, affecting line thickness and shading intensity:

#12 (0.35mm): Standard thickness, ideal for balanced ink flow and versatile use. Commonly used for bold lines and general shading.

#10 (0.30mm): Bugpin needles, finer than #12, providing more precise lines and smoother shading.

#8 (0.25mm): Fine bugpin needles, even finer, used for intricate details and soft shading.

#6 (0.20mm): Ultra-fine bugpin needles, the finest option, perfect for the most delicate line work and intricate designs.

Bugpin needles are finer than standard needles, offering more precision and smoother shading. They are ideal for detailed work and soft gradients. Standard needles are thicker and are used for bold lines and general shading.

The taper of a tattoo needle refers to the length of the point at the end of the needle. A longer taper results in a finer point, which is better for detailed and intricate work, while a shorter taper provides a broader point, suitable for bold lines and filling.
