Ghost Cartridges HEX Cartridges - Round Shader, Long Taper, Box of 20

Achieving smooth, consistent shading requires a cartridge built specifically for controlled coverage. The Ghost HEX Round Shader Long Taper cartridges by Ghost Cartridges use a spread-out Round Shader needle grouping for reliable, even ink flow. This makes them well suited to black and grey work, soft shading, colour blends, and precise filling.

The Long Taper (2.5 mm) produces a finer contact point than Medium or Short Taper options, holding less pigment per pass for gradual colour building and reduced skin trauma. Combined with the #12 gauge (0.35 mm) needle diameter, this configuration suits artists who need controlled ink saturation and smooth transitions across larger areas.

The upgraded internal needle stabiliser reduces lateral needle movement, helping maintain consistent depth and ink delivery during detailed passes. A removable silicone fore-grip - pioneered by the HEX range in 2018 - dampens vibration and improves grip through extended sessions, while colour-coded caps speed up configuration swaps during multi-style work.

Please select the needle size and diameter you require.
