Round Shader

Guerilla Round Shader Cartridges are a professional choice for artists who need reliable, consistent performance across shading work, color packing, and smooth gradient transitions. Available in a wide range of configurations, these cartridges deliver sharp ink flow and predictable needle behavior — session after session. Whether you are working on bold traditional pieces or subtle black and grey, the Guerilla RS line has the right setup for your style.

What Makes Guerilla Round Shader Cartridges Stand Out

The Guerilla Round Shader cartridge range is built to meet the demands of working professionals. Each unit features a secure membrane system that prevents ink backflow, keeping your tattoo pen clean and reducing interruptions during longer sessions. The needle grouping is precisely soldered, ensuring even pigment distribution across the entire needle spread. This translates to consistent results whether you are laying in solid fills or building up soft shading layers.

The cartridges are compatible with all standard tattoo pens using universal cartridge systems. Packaging in professional box quantities makes them a practical choice for studio environments where reliability and speed matter.

Choosing the Right Guerilla RS Configuration

Round shader configurations are identified by their needle count and grouping diameter. A tighter grouping delivers more precise shading control, while wider configurations allow for faster, more expansive color packing. Here is a general guide to help you decide:

Needle Count and Application Guide

• 5RS to 9RS — Ideal for detail shading, tight gradients, and smaller design areas. These smaller configurations offer more control in confined spaces.
• 11RS to 14RS — A versatile midrange perfect for everyday shading work, smooth blends, and moderate-sized fills. A popular choice for most tattoo styles.
• 18RS and above — Best suited for large-scale color packing and bold backgrounds where speed and coverage are the priority.

If your sessions also involve lining work, consider pairing your round shaders with Guerilla Liner Cartridges for a consistent Guerilla setup from start to finish. For even broader coverage in curved areas, the Guerilla Round Magnum Cartridges are worth considering as a complement to your RS selection.

FAQ

What are Guerilla Round Shader Cartridges used for?

Guerilla Round Shader Cartridges are primarily used for shading, color packing, and creating smooth gradients in tattooing. The round grouping of needles allows for even ink distribution across the skin, making them suitable for both subtle black and grey work and bold color fills.

Are Guerilla RS cartridges compatible with my tattoo pen?

Yes. Guerilla Round Shader Cartridges are designed to fit all standard cartridge-compatible tattoo pens. They follow the universal cartridge standard, making them broadly compatible with most professional tattoo pens on the market.

What does "RS" stand for in the Guerilla RS range?

RS stands for Round Shader. This refers to the circular arrangement of the needle grouping, which is optimized for shading and color work. The number preceding RS (such as 9RS or 14RS) indicates the number of needles in the grouping.

How do I store Guerilla Round Shader Cartridges?

Guerilla cartridges should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Each cartridge comes individually sealed and sterile — always check the packaging is intact before use and never reuse a cartridge once it has been opened.

Can I buy Guerilla Round Shader Cartridges in bulk?

Yes. Guerilla cartridges are available in standard box quantities, making it easy to stock up for studio use. Buying in larger quantities ensures you always have the right configuration on hand. Check the current listings for available pack sizes and pricing.

What is the difference between Round Shader and Round Magnum cartridges?

Round Shader cartridges have a tight circular grouping that delivers concentrated ink coverage, offering more control for detail shading. Round Magnum cartridges use a curved fan arrangement that covers a wider area in a single pass, making them better suited for large-scale blending and soft shading over bigger sections of skin.
