VIVA Premium Needle Cartridges

Reliably Safe & Effective

VIVA Premium Needle Cartridges are crafted by industry experts, tested by artists, and backed by some of the world's most renowned tattoo and permanent cosmetic professionals. Since the start, our focus has and always will be on the quality of our products, but more specifically, on the excellence of our needle cartridges. As one of the first needle manufacturers in the tattoo industry, we dedicated ourselves to researching, designing, and developing the sharpest and most effective needles in the market. Through direct sourcing of materials and prototyping processes, we've built the foundational components to allow our needles to consistently deliver exceptional ink flow every time.

Each surgical stainless steel needle configuration is produced using extremely sharp, flexible needles that are grouped together with the maximum level of precision. All of our needles are produced using 316 medical-grade stainless steel. Conventionally, most needles used for tattooing or permanent cosmetics are manufactured with 304 stainless steel. Instead of following the crowd, we made sure to only use the highest grade of initial materials. In comparison, 316 stainless steel bears a greater resistance to chemical solutions, is more durable, easier-to-fabricate and to clean than alternative grade steels. Using an intricate process that thoroughly sharpens the 316 stainless steel, VIVA needles are created with the finest taper. Each needle also contains an outer casing that helps reduce unnecessary friction between the cartridge tip and the needle grouping. All VIVA cartridge needles are developed with a needle stabilizing system that ensures reliability and high performance. In addition, each cartridge includes a complete safety membrane system that prevents any backflow of ink into your machine. The safety membrane also offers a soft, effortless rebound and touch that provides a smooth release of ink onto the skin. Each needle cartridge is EO Gas Sterilized and certified for use by professionals to ensure the utmost safety and sanitary measures to you and your clients.

Dedicated Every Step of the Way

Premium Stainless Steel

In creating the perfect needle, we began with sourcing the best materials. Each VIVA needle is manufactured using medical-grade 316 stainless steel - one of the strongest steel alloys. We make sure that every needle is produced with the finest taper and finish.

Industry-Grade Sterilization

All of our needles are manufactured at one of our state-of-the-art partnered facilities to maintain a high level of quality assurance and attention to detail. Each needle cartridge is sterilized with ethylene oxide (EO) gas, individually sealed and packaged to meet industry-grade health standards.

Attention to Detail

Known for their extreme sharpness and precision, our needle cartridges help artists create pixel-perfect dots, shading, and blending with exact, effortless accuracy. VIVA needles were developed especially with permanent makeup artists in mind, focusing on the requirements of precision and stability when creating fine-detailed work on the face, eyes, eyebrows, and lips.

Designing the Perfect PMU Cartridge

Precise Needle Point

Driven by innovation, our cartridges are designed and constructed with a soft contact touch and an extremely sharp point that offers crisp, definitive lines, dots, and shading/blending. Each needle also is produced with flawless soldering.

Crafted Membrane

After years of research and extensive trials, we've finally perfected the ideal membrane for PMU needles that provides the most optimal rebound tension for smooth, consistent punctures while also offering effective security in preventing ink backflow.

Innovative Tip Design

VIVA needle cartridges are holstered within a clear medical-grade plastic outer casing. With an innovative angular tip design, our needles offer greater control and visibility for the artist, allowing for a higher level of precision at skin impact.
