Kwadron Soft Edge Magnum Cartridge Needles

Kwadron Soft Edge Magnum Cartridge Needles

Discover Kwadron Soft Edge Magnum (SEM) tattoo cartridges, designed for professional tattoo artists working with smooth shading, soft transitions and controlled colour application.

Unlike traditional straight magnums, Soft Edge Magnum needles feature a gently curved arrangement, allowing for gradual shading and smooth tonal transitions.

Soft Edge Magnums for Smooth Shading

Kwadron Soft Edge Magnum cartridges are suitable for a variety of tattooing techniques:

• Black & grey tattooing – building soft shadows, gradients and tonal depth.

• Realism tattoos – creating smooth transitions between light and dark areas.

• Colour blending – blending neighbouring colours and creating gradual transitions.

• Larger shading areas – working across broader sections of a tattoo.

Choose from different needle diameters and groupings to find the right configuration for your technique.

Available in Packs of 5 or 20

All standard Kwadron Soft Edge Magnum configurations in our store are available in packs of 5 or 20 cartridges.

Choose a pack of 5 to experiment with a new needle size or grouping, or select a full box of 20 for your regular studio supplies.

Simply select your preferred pack size on the product page.

Soft Edge Magnum vs Traditional Magnum

Both configurations are designed for shading and filling, but their needle arrangements differ.

Traditional Magnum (MG) cartridges feature a straight needle arrangement, often preferred for solid colour packing and efficient coverage.

Soft Edge Magnum (SEM) cartridges feature a curved arrangement, making them particularly useful for soft shading, blending and gradual tonal transitions.

The best choice depends on your technique and preferred working style.
