Without an anti-reflow regime, ink and small amounts of liquid could enter the machine and cause cross-contamination between customers. 

So on top of the increased ink reservoir, the PEPAX PMU needle adds a rubberized membrane that acts as a seal between the cartridge and the machine. Low-tension diaphragms that reduce motor stress and prevent pigment backflow. It is able to avoid cross contamination and ensure the safety and health of the customer. 

The anti-backflow device also prevents body fluids or ink from being sucked into the machine. This increases the service life of the machine. Their vacuum decompression also helps minimize pigment spray or steering to either side.

What is the difference between PMU cartridges and traditional tattoo cartridges? 

1) Different materials and construction

Tattoo needles are usually a bit thicker and designed to create larger openings in the surface of the skin to inject ink. 

PMU needles, on the other hand, are finer and designed to minimally invasively inject pigment for long-lasting makeup results. They are usually characterized as fine and minimally invasive. 

This difference means that using tattoo needles for PMU may result in excessive skin damage, compromising the final makeup result.

2) Different operation requirements and purposes

Tattoos are usually done to create unique patterns or designs on the skin.

PMU, on the other hand, is intended to simulate natural makeup, such as eyebrows and eyeliner.

Therefore, both have strict requirements in terms of pigment selection, depth and density of injection. PMU using traditional tattoo needles may not be able to meet these requirements, thus affecting the cosmetic effect and safety.

Which cartridge is best for eyebrows?

To create hair-like strokes, choose a round needle in sizes such as 1RL or 3RL. These needles draw precise lines, perfect for fine work. For fuller brows or shadows, consider flat needles like 5F or 7F, which apply more pigment at once.

Which cartridge is best for lip ?

The ideal needle for lip makeup depends on the desired effect. For a soft, blended look, consider using a round needle such as the 3RS or 5RS. These needles gently disperse the pigment and are ideal for clients with sensitive skin or those looking for a natural enhancement.

For bolder lip contouring, the 3RL or 5RL cartridges may be a better choice.

When choosing a size, keep in mind that the smaller the diameter of the needle, the less pigment will be applied per application and the more subtle the effect will be. Use a larger diameter needle for fuller lips or to hide scars.
