Needle configuration has a direct effect on the size and character of an SMP impression. 5PM Shadow offers three Super Tight cartridge options so artists can choose a setup that matches their technique and treatment goal.
0403 .18 Super Tight
The .18 Super Tight is the finer option in the line. It is suited to highly controlled impressions, detailed hairline refinement, softer density work, and artists who prefer a smaller visual footprint.
0603 .20 Super Tight
The .20 Super Tight sits in the middle and works as a versatile everyday configuration for hairlines, density, blending, and general scalp micropigmentation procedures.
0803 .25 Super Tight
The .25 Super Tight creates a slightly stronger, more defined impression for artists who want additional presence while maintaining a tight grouping.
There Is No Universal Best Size
Client skin, treatment area, hand speed, machine setup, pigment strength, and artist technique all influence the final impression. The best configuration is the one that gives the artist consistent control for that treatment.
