Frequently Asked Questions
Are these Mast Pro 2 cartridges compatible with all rotary handpieces?
Yes. The Mast Pro 2 cartridges were designed to be universal, working with virtually all rotary handpieces that use a standard cartridge system. This includes most professional machines used in studios. If you already work with a modern rotary handpiece, compatibility will not be a problem. Even in machines with more sensitive motors, the fit is stable and without play, preventing unwanted vibrations during operation.
Do these cartridges cause less trauma to the skin?
Yes, and this is one of the great strengths of the Mast Pro 2. The long 5mm cone allows for smoother and more controlled penetration, reducing stress on the skin. The Magnum shape distributes the ink better, avoiding unnecessary repeated passes. In practice, this translates to less redness, less swelling, and better healing, something the client feels right away in the next session.
Can I use these cartridges for both filling and shading?
You can, without any limitations. The conical Magnum is extremely versatile, ideal for solid fills, smooth gradients, and progressive shading. The even ink dispersion helps create cleaner transitions, even in large areas. Many tattoo artists use the same type of cartridge for various stages of the work, adjusting only their hand, voltage, and technique.
What is the needle diameter and how does that influence the result?
This model uses #12 (0.35 mm) needles, one of the most commonly used diameters in professional tattooing. This size offers an excellent balance between ink flow and control. The result is more saturated colors, consistent fill lines, and less need for rework. For those seeking efficiency without compromising final quality, this diameter is a safe choice.
