Ghost Cartridges HEX Needle Cartridges - Round Shader Long Taper, Box of 50

Smooth, controlled shading starts with a cartridge built for the task. The Ghost HEX Round Shader Long Taper cartridges from Ghost Cartridges deliver consistent ink flow for soft gradients, black and grey realism, colour blending, and even coverage across the skin. Supplied in a 50-box format, they're designed for professional artists who rely on round shaders as a studio staple.

The Long Taper produces a finer needle point than medium taper alternatives, giving you greater precision over graduated shading and colour transitions. The round shader grouping spreads ink evenly, making it well-suited to building soft tones and subtle texture rather than linework or bold packing.

Each cartridge sits in the signature green HEX shell with a pre-fitted, removable silicone fore-grip that reduces vibration and hand fatigue during longer sessions. An internal needle stabiliser minimises wobble for steady, predictable delivery, while the integrated safety membrane prevents ink backflow into your machine. Colour-coded caps let you identify configurations at a glance for fast changeovers between clients.

Please select your preferred needle grouping and gauge.
