Shading with a Liner

So far, every tattoo I've posted has been created with a 5 round liner and a 9 magnum shader. It's obvious how different sizes will be more fitting for specific areas.

I would have to loved to shade a few of the pieces with smaller grouping. Maybe I'll practice on myself and learn how to shade with my liner.

whats the diffrece between a liner and a shader gun?

A shader and liner are the types of needles used for tattooing. A shader usually has a larger space between each needle compared to a liner which has a tighter grouping. Ex. A 5 round liner has a tighter needle grouping than a 5 round shader... Hope it helps.

For the sake of knowing and practicing - how does one apply shading on a tattoo as far as technique and gun setting. I am just an artist just trying to pick up the trade. I have a 7Mag and a 6Flat and the proper barrel for it.
