what is the difference between bugpin and standard tattoo needles?
Bugpin needles are normally between 0.20 mm and 0.25 mm versus a standard needle sizing of 0.30 mm and 0.35 mm. Bugpin needles require a smaller tube grip as well (usually 1-2 sizes) , so if you are using a 7 grouping, you may need a 5 or 6 size tube.
