The tube needs to match the needles.
5R tube = 5R Needle
7F tube = 7Flat or 7 Mag Needle

Start off on fake skin with a 5 Round. Any bigger and it will make your lines seem better than they really are. We all know that the bigger the lining needle, the less shaky the line, but then you do not see the mistakes.

ehh i got disposable tubes that will hold like 7-9RL and ones that will hold and work with 3-5RL and so on. but for a beginner i would recommend the exact tube for the needle as when u start doin what im doin, u tend to get a slightly bigger puddle than usual but never been an issue for me, as long as ur rubber bands are holdin that needle against the back of the tube nice and snug like .

but hey this is all just my opinion and things ive learned/started doin on my own. to each their own tho.

welcome to the site man. learned a LOT here and have stepped my game up a lot in the past year
