hey, so when you get needles they should be SEALED in a packet with a date.. aslong as they are sealed with a date (valid date) they should be okay to use, different needles vary, you pay for what you get really

if they are sealed they should be sterilized and ready to use, double check before you order needles though in the descripion and look for somewhere which tells you they are sterilized to double check

there should be an indicator inside the package that turns blue when sterilized. But if you have doubts if they are safe to use dont use them on people and order some needles from a reputable supplier

Rather getting confused. I would recommend you to purchase a new set of needles which would obviously be new, sealed, packed and sterilized.

Hey Guys I'm new here ...Great Forum!
I have 2 questions, why do some needles look so dirty ?And what do u think of Killer Ink ?


from the site : Killer Ink Precision needles are made from the finest quality 304 surgical stainless steel and use lead free solder for precision grouping. If you look carefully, you will notice how accurate the grouping of our needles are. Our needles are shiny in appearance as they are are electro polished, prior to being sterilized with EO gas. Other badly configured needles are dull in appearance, due to the use of poor quality steel and lead solder, which can be very dangerous to use health wise.

the good ones (but also from china -_- )

This is a really old thread you replied to. I use cartridges, not bars, but I get mine from KillerInk and Barberdts.

I don't understand why you would buy (cheap) Chinese stuff from eBay? I'm not tattooing on humans anytime soon but I use the same needles (and ink) for practice as I would on a human.

You also answered your own question I think. The 'dirty' look is unpolished steel. The shiny ones are electro-polished, just as the KillerInk description says.
