Hi Nathan, it depends on the size of the area to be tattooed. In general, large magnums are preferable, as they can be used to ink a larger area in a short time. However, the configuration must fit the body part so that all needles can really penetrate the skin. If you want to learn more about needles, you should read our “Tattoo Needle Guide“.
