They arent bugpins, a 9 bugpin would be 0809rl, they are textured tight liners

That's good because I dodnt want bug pins thought I ordered them by accident.
Can someone explain to me thoroughly the difference between bugpin,12, and textured please? Like what size is the best for what applications?
Bugpins are tiny needles 08's and are meant to be fantastic for smoooth grey shading blends, but are a pain to match to tubes. 12's are your standard size needles. Textured are any needle that has not been polished, they are meant to hold more ink on their surface and thus deposit more in the skin.
@ David......Thank you,so bugpins typically used for the ability to put in smaller “dots”? If I’m understanding the concept right.
yeah thats the theory, but i didn't get on with them as i found they flexed too much due to their tiny diameter and had headaches trying to match tubes to needles, like a 13cmb will probably fit in something like a 5 mag tube but sometimes they'd still have a ton of side slop.
