REBEL Curved Magnum Tattoo Cartridges

REBEL Precision Curved magnum tattoo cartridges are the next generation in cartridge tattooing, blending the performance of standard magnums with the added advantage of superior shading finesse. They act as architects of subtle transitions, since they are shaped into gentle arches that minimize trauma and optimize ink blending. Much like a painter’s brush, their curved needle shape follows the skin’s surface, creating softer edges and smoother blends. As a result, they have become a modern staple among professional artists.

How Are Curved Magnums Crafted?

Curved magnums begin much like regular magnums, using a two-row, zigzag structure that increases ink capacity. However, what sets them apart is the arch: precision tooling bends the grouped needles into a curve, which matches the skin’s surface for smoother penetration and softer gradients. In addition, REBEL ensures every configuration uses a consistent medium taper, so that artists benefit from both precision and comfort. Learn more about curved magnum tattoo needle configurations.

Performance Benefits of Curved Magnum Tattoo Cartridges

• Superior Shading & Color Blending: The arched layout delivers smoother transitions and flawless gradients, which means less risk of uneven tones.

• Less Skin Trauma: The rounded needle array reduces irritation, therefore improving client comfort and accelerating healing.

• High Ink Flow & Saturation: The staggered, curved design holds more ink and lays it down evenly during every pass, so artists can achieve spotless coverage.

Configurations & Contact Span

REBEL offers 16 curved magnum configurations, ranging from 9 to 45 needles — including the larger 35 and 45 Curved Magnum Giants. Four configurations feature Bugpin #8 gauge long-tapered needles for ultra-fine transitions, while the remaining twelve use #10 (0.30 mm) standard gauge medium-taper needles. This broad range enables artists to handle everything from subtle blends to expansive shading. In practice, the most popular sizes remain 11, 13, 15, and 17, as they strike the ideal balance between precision and versatility. Moreover, contact span — the actual skin surface reached by the needles — is carefully engineered around performance rather than needle count alone.
